I mentioned on the Stones postponing thread about Elton. I saw him in Vancouver twice in Sept 2019 and each show was identical down to the between song talking. I'm sure the BC Place show will sell out since it's the only one for Western Canada and the US Northwest.
There is a big gap before Vancouver and after so I'm sure he might add a couple more cities. I think he's done 5 or even 6 shows in Toronto already and now another at Skydome. I"m surprised no London shows unless one of those cities is part of London?

That's some tour routing. I guess he really wanted to play Vancouver again since his partner and family are from Kelowna BC, a few hours away, but that's a lot of extra mileage for one (albeit large) show.

There is that big 19 day gap between TN and Vancouver. Perhaps Denver show? I just bought 2 tix for BC Place, bought upper bowl for $90 each including service fees. I figured unless you're up front closer to the stage, you'll be watching the jumbo screens anyway so rather than pay over $200 for a seat right below in the lower bowl, I'll save the money.

So it's more like a Broadway show, scripted down to the dialog - lame. Or, more accurately a Vegas show. He should just stick to Vegas, it's just a Vegas show touring around, not a rock n roll concert. How lame...

Wow. Even the first 5 rows of the uppers are almost $3000 'platinum' seats, then $90 seats. I'll just wait a year and a half and get tix day of show, likely at a discount.

Slightly OT:
New Album by Elton John (22-Oct-2021):
"The last thing I expected to do during lockdown was make an album but here it is. Thank you to everyone who came together to make it happen."

Well, this article and this article both say the New Orleans show was sold out. The venue (Smoothie King Center) has a seating capacity of 17,805 for concerts.
Pretty impressive given that COVID is still rampant!
