Phoenix Jan 26 2019 Elton Show

Whats wrong with this picture, Tickets go on sale at 10AM. I go online to buy 4 tickets and when I get to ticketmaster its allready sold out. Now other agencies want me to pay over 300 dollars per ticket to have a decent seat. I guess the show will go on without me.

newloneranger,
I was lucky enough to to get (actually my wife did) 4 tickets in the pre-sale for the Ottawa show, but they are still $250 each. She tried again today to get some for her sisters. She was well logged in at 10 o'clock and she couldn't get anything at a decent price. I too wonder how agencies get their hands on tickets so quickly and sell them at a ridiculous price.

FAREWELL YELLOW BRICK ROAD tickets:

I just read that the entire tour sold out this morning BUT they will be adding a few new cities and some extra dates at select cities.  To give you hope;  I already have my tickets for Toronto but I did spend time checking and checking again for tickets for certain cities after they were apparently sold out and occasional SINGLE tickets at cost kept popping up.  I was able to access lower level seats and even one floor seat (8 rows from the front - at cost) at Madison Square Garden plus others for both Toronto shows and the Ottawa show 20, 30, and 40 minutes after the shows were sold out!!  In other words;  stay patient and keep trying.  I wasn't looking for multiple seats but, rather, singles, and they kept popping up as available AT BASIC COST - no platinum or similar prices.  Pairs of seats might have been impossible to get in this way but I never tried to access pairs.

Elton and his management are aware how fast these tickets sold (setting records all over the place).  NEXT WEEK is when they said more tickets and cities will go on sale.  Good luck trying again!

Thanks Doug and Ben, There has to be some kind of fair system for the average Joe Blow to buy tickets, These tickets are being sold to other ticket agencies by the thousands and being sold to them at a ridiculously fast pace. If I go to Ticketmaster at the time when they go on sale and its allready sold out thats just crazy. I was all excited last night to get tickets this morning and this just ruined my day. Its very irritating. Back in the 80s I got 9th row tickets for 20 dollars. I paid about 100 dollars for the Face to Face shows with Billy Joel. Its just seems rigged now. I can buy these ticket, Its just the principal of it all.Maybe I'll get lucky somewhere, but i'm in no hurry.......Jim

Ticketmaster has a new "Verified Fan" sign up which gets the average fan ahead of others, I believe.  If and when Elton tickets are announced for additional shows, go to Ticketmaster and check out your options.  Otherwise, be willing to buy two single seats rather than a pair assuming that you are looking for a pair.  Remember, I had numerous single seats pop up available (at cost) for up to 40 minutes after sale time on Friday - including that crazy great floor seat at Madison Square Garden!

Best of luck next week.

Thanks Doug, I'm looking for 4 tickets, I'm hoping to be reunited with my special someone after 30 plus years. Plus my sister and her husband want to go, I guess we can get 2 seperate pairs of tickets, I guess that would be ok if I can't find 4 together. I'll keep my eyes open.
