LOS ANGELES, May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Tickets to Roger Waters' historic tour commemorating the 30th Anniversary of The Wall officially went on sale to the public today to overwhelming fan demand.

The New York Times (March 2, 1980) declared that "The Wall show remains a milestone in rock history, it will be the touchstone against which all future rock spectacles must be measured."
