    Welp, was only able to pull up a single pair of side stage tix in the general onsale for the LA shows, threw them back into the pot. Looks like ill be hoping for a second ticket drop or going the stubhub route.
    The last time he played 2 nights at Staples, the promoter was giving away tickets for the 2nd night.....I'd wait for prices to drop on the secondary market.....the shows are a year away, so plenty of time to wait and see what happens.

    For sure ill keep my eye on them to come down. If theres anything i know about the secondary market in LA, if you can wait it out especially for weekday shows, u can usually get in dirt cheap.

    Hoping for a second Boston show. I was busy at 10 today and completely forgot about the onsale.

    So I guess all venues are sold out.  I forgot about it.  Just now went to TM and it sends me to re-sale tickets.  TM doesn't even show the St. Louis show.

    Damn, I'd love to see him play!
    Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is the soundtrack of my childhood.  That album takes me back to memories so early they are just a blurry feeling, and somehow it still sounds fresh and relevant.  Just thinking about it I can smell the coal smoke and feel the rough texture of the carpet under my toddler hands.

    Anyone go to see this tour yet? What is the stage set up like? Looking to get some tickets off of Stubhub for my mother for the Quebec show but wanted to make sure there were no obstructions for her. The tickets I am looking at are on the 200 level on the immediate side of the stage. 

    Edit: I see there is a pretty large screen set up so maybe not the best of seats.

    I’m going to try to score tickets via the TM Verified Fan presale tomorrow. Hope it works.

  • the only thing i would have liked is less cheesy las vegas video during a couple of songs(only). i get that he is playing to a lot of grey haired folks who like casinos shows lol, and that he did reside in vegas for a few years doing shows, but imo, the cheese video was a distraction away from how great/powerful the 2-3 songs were. u end up watching the cheese video cause u can't help not to...
    having said that. it's a fantastic show. 2.75hours. and every time i see him i am always reminded what a fantastic piano player he is and he had lottsa moments banging the keys like a madman across the water
    go see the show

    I was named after him (well, a song of his and him)—I know, @HesCalledDyer , lame!—so I figure I should see him once before he packs it up.

    I saw him in Vegas and loved that show. I was wanting to see him again, but he left his residency and he's playing nowhere near me.

    Haha! Well, the convention runs in the family. My son is named after two musicians.

    It's OK, though, Dyer. I've always been uncool.

    Not looking good. I've had the "Searching For Tickets" spinny wheel screen up for 10 minutes now, which means they're gone.

    I'll try again on Friday during the public onsale.

    I saw him Saturday night in Dallas and it was so good!  My first time seeing him and he sounded and played great.  He's playing in Oklahoma next year and I would love to try to go, but I know it's a hard ticket to get.  I lucked out! I got my ticket the day of the show on ticketmaster! The ticket was marked as obstructed in the 200s level because you couldn't see the large screen or most of the band (it was the last section closest to the stage and sort of wraps around the screen), but I could see the piano and Elton well the entire time and we had our own screen close to us on the side.  They lowered the price to $59 plus fees and that was a hell of a great deal!
