[fritz03]

We are going to an Elton John concert in Oshawa on September 9th a day before my birthday.Shannon works for the company that manages the arena and can get tickets before they go on sale which was today,Larry,Marlene,Mom and I are going.He has four concerts in Canada,just himself doing a greatest hits show ,so it should be good,looking forward to it.

He's good on stage.
I seen him live in 1975. Well worth the money.

Lucky you! I am so envious. EJ is one of my all time favorites.

Now that would be a great concert.

A friend of mine's son had Paul McCarty tickets (2) to sell for his upcoming Aug 4th concert at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. I had to pass we didnt have extra $168 x2 to buy the tickets from him.

Oh, that's wonderful.. What a great birthday treat for you!

I love Elton John. What a fabulous career he has had, what a showman and what an artist he is. So many immortal songs from him!

He's also doing a show in Windsor ON on September 10, about 50 miles away from me. I thought, maybe I should look into going to that.

It turns out, they started selling the tickets yesterday (22nd) and were almost sold out within a couple of hours.. though, according to the Windsor Star, "A few tickets were still left Friday afternoon, at $93.25 and $153.35, though the dinner packages for $50 extra sold out Friday morning."

That's Canadian money, of course.. and right now, the loonie (Canadian $1 bill) is worth more than the US dollar ($1.06US)!

Ohh-Kay... Well, I guess I won't be seeing you this time around, Elton.

Anyway, Fritz (Barry?), I hope you will all have a fantastic time!

I wonder how he will dress this time.
When I seen him, he had a jacket on covered in light globes.
He is truly a great showman.

Oh how exciting, do enjoy, my husband saw him some years back, and said he was just awesome, i hope he is still as good, ENJOY.

How cool is that?! I saw him in concert probably 15 years ago. He was fantastic- the show was jammed with music for a good 2 hours.

[Sowa]

He is having a concert where I'm from, but really don't have any plans to see it. Just don't like crowded areas.

[lvpets2002]

WoW your so lucky.. That should be alot of fun.. Many Congrats on your Birthday Concert..

[Asiel]

Heard about that concert and I was hoping we might get lucky and have him come here but no such luck. I would give my shirt to see him perform, just love his singing.
