The Police are auctioning a pair of tickets for every date of their upcoming European tour, and donating a proportion of proceeds to the charity WaterAid.

Bidding is now open for the tickets, with some including perks such as sound check access and a meet and greet with the band (there is a different package on offer for each concert, please check for details)

The Police said:

"In Western societies, the idea of not having clean and plentiful water is unthinkable, and yet there are millions of people who are suffering and dying from disease because they lack access to this most basic resource.

"We are proud to support WaterAid in their mission to improve access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene education in the world's poorest countries. We hope the funds and awareness raised during the tour will help to shine a light on WaterAid's efforts to bring help to millions of people in need."

WaterAid works in 17 countries throughout Africa, Asia and the Pacific region, helping some of the world's poorest people gain access to safe domestic water, hygiene education and toilets. 5000 children die every day due to a lack of clean water and sanitation, yet it costs WaterAid just £15 to provide a person with a lasting supply of these essentials. To date, WaterAid has helped 10 million people begin to make their way out of poverty through access to water and sanitation.

The dates and packages are as follows:
