[jenr]

Yeh Di I have seen him a few times and he puts on a great show I really hope he comes to my backyard!
Jen

[Supa]

fingers crossed you can get him up there Jen

[Alexa]

Yes lets hope he plays up your way Jen.

I hope to see him when he comes to Sydney. Last time I saw him was when he and Billy Joel played in Perth, what a brilliant concert that was.

He is also the one behind the music for Billy Elliott that is being turned into a stage show, now that I will definately see.

[dragonfly97]

[Mad Old Cow]

Jen

[yomamma]

fingers crossed you get the tickets Jen, hey won't the radio stations have contest to give some away??

[jenr]

Hi Yo I am sure they will I know the paper is going to have a comp as well!
Jen

[Stormy]

I would have liked to go see him but he's not coming to Brisbane (which I couldn't believe :O) and decent tickets to see him in Sydney are ridiculously priced. :(

[leelee]

he will also be at werribee mansion so if anyone see's is thinking of seeing him there maybe we can meet for a coffee or drinks somehwere in werribee

[jenr]

My sis is going to see him in one of the vineyards in the Hunter!
Now that would be great sitting back with a chard watching Elton!!
Jen

[Heather]

All this made me get out an old....very old....tape of his songs....mostly his early ones....my heavens he is such a poet, listening to " The Greatest Discovery" made me so tearful...it's so beautiful.
Look at the lyrics (http://www.eltonography.com/songs/the_greatest_discovery.html).....you don't need music.

[jenr]

That is beautiful Heather thanks for that!
Jen

[Hails]

He is also coming to Tassie, which is great!! There was an online petition here too and i thought it was between Tassie and Townsville but it seems he is going to visit both places, which is great!:clap:

[jenr]

So he should Tassie and Townsville are two great places!
I got my tickets today WOOHOO:y: :clap: :bdance: :berry: :nana: :tree: :>:

[Hails]

I was just wondering how much the tix are??

[jenr]

They are expensive but doesnt matter Gold is $240 Silver $140 but my sis is going to see him in the Hunter Valley Vineyards and hers was $240 with the bus trip included.
So it may be different in some ares?
Jen

[Stormy]

Sydney prices are from $400 for gold tickets. They go up in price depending on where in the gold section you're sitting. Silver tickets are already sold out.

[jenr]

Wow thats expensive the good thing about the concert up here the Dairy Farmers Stadium only holds 20,000 and they said after they set the stage up there will only be no more then 12,000 seats so we wont be to far away from him!
I went and saw Elton and Billy Joel a few years ago at ANZ stadium in Brissy and we were miles away from the stage we used binos to watch them on the video screen!
Jen

[Hails]

OK cool. They are quite expensive!! The Tassie pre release are meant to be on sale now but it only has a link to the Townsville concert!!
