OT: Anyone get Elton John tickets for XL Center?

[8893]

I missed the pre-sale last week and have been trying this morning during the general on-sale with no luck at all. Surprised me. Trying to get two tickets for my wife and one of my daughters to go (I love Elton and have seen him before; they love him a little more and daughter has never seen him). Curious whether anyone else had better luck. I'm guessing they may add another show if it truly sold out so quickly.

He can buy his own tickets. I don't think he's a really a UConn fan.

Yes. Got 3 on presale.

There will be re releases. Always is. They hold back to put on secondary market.

Tried to get some and couldn't get anything.

I don't wanna go on with you like that.

Wait, you're Elton John?

I live about 10 minutes from the XL center. It is almost always easy to score tickets outside at Showtime. People with extras just want to go in and not miss part of the show, so they sell their extra tickets for face value or less. Even the scalpers get very reasonable once it becomes a buyers market.

I went to the Dead and Co. the night before Thanksgiving and grabbed a $150 ticket for $50 at Showtime. I wound up about 25' from John Mayer. I am not necessarily advocating that your wife and daughter do this alone, but I bet the three of you could score reasonable tickets right before the start of the show.

I will probably use the same approach for this concert as I have only seen Elton once before and would like to see him again.

Yeah, I've been big on the walk up purchase on show night since I was a kid and first started going to concerts, and the thrill of it is still something I enjoy. But the idea behind this is a birthday present for my daughter, and her birthday is several months before the show, so the preference is to have tickets in hand.

We may very well end up going the other route though.

There will be a drop at the box office hours before the show. Always is.

LMAO. Enjoy the show.

Saw him at the XL Center (then the Civic Center) I believe in 1983. Excellent performance. Enjoy the show.

Your continued celebration of your ignorance is cute. I'm glad we can both enjoy it; although I think you will ultimately enjoy it less, should you live long enough to be wise.

Oh well, I'm not going but I'm sure I'd enjoy seeing him again if I did. I'll tell my (even younger) wife and 16 year old to ask for the AARP discount.

The reason I got tickets is at the request of my 16 year old.

After reading all else this morning, I came back to this for one more laugh.
