Do Elton John gigs usually sell out? I'm interested in going but a bit low on cash right now, is it likely to sell out or would I be able to get tickets in a few months?

Any word on the pricing?

Feckity-feck, why would he play on a Tuesday night, does he not know my husband will use that as an excuse to get out of it

8-10

Saw him last September and it was a phenomenal show! Definitely getting tickets again

So why did he not play last December instead of making people wait eight months or so, I'm sure folk would have preferred he done a gig in the summer instead.

He did do a gig in the summer. He did the Marquee in Cork.

Block P row 41. Not saying they are bad seats but they are not far off looking at the gig from the O2 toilets with a pair of binoculars. Still, I had to keep within a budget as I was getting Specials tix as well this morning

Got tickets for Block E. 224 euro total:eek: So better be worth it:)

Really looking forward to this gig tonight

Going along myself too. I'd say he puts on a good show.

**edit - Well crikey the old blokes can put on a show!

Great concert. Didn't realise it was the end of the tour - looked like they had a ball.

Phenomenal stuff. Elton was in great form.
I loved the extended jam at the end of Levon and Burn Down the Mission was superb. I'm also glad he's restored Rocket Man to normal length after so many years of doing the twelve minute version.

Bennie and the Jets
Candle in the Wind
All the Girls Love Alice
Levon
Tiny Dancer
Believe
Daniel
Philadelphia Freedom
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Rocket Man

The One
Your Song
Burn Down the Mission
Sad Songs (Say So Much)
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me
The Bitch Is Back
I'm Still Standing

Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting

Crocodile Rock
Circle of Life/Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

Great gig, loved every minute of it!

Best gig ive seen in quite a while. Talk about wheeling out the hits. His voice was in top form too.

Mars Bar

Fantastic gig! How great does Elton sound? The whole band just never disappoint.

I managed to get EJ's autograph and John Mahon's percussion stick.

Richard tea

Great gig. Delighted I went.

My only gripe was I thought I had an isle seat which turned out to be bang smack in the middle of a row. For future reference is it better to buy tickets over the phone so you can pick an isle seat?

Could have been! Could have been the other boardsie that was with me though!
I'm a short female, would have had my head just above the stage.

Ed The Equalizer

No, wasn't you so, was definitely a guy!

Mars Bar

I know who you are on about. I was right beside him!
