Ever since dropping the bomb that he was retiring from touring, Elton John has become one of the most buzzed-about performers. The singer-songwriter has assured fans that he will go out with a bang – promising a 300-date global farewell tour set to span three years. With tickets for the trek in such high demand, fans are left to pay a steeper price for entry. Luckily, there’s a way to see the show while saving big money.
We compared numbers across various ticketing sites, including Ticketmaster, Stubhub and Vivid Seats, and found a clear winner among the pack. Ticket Club Premier members wind up paying significantly less for the same seats than if they bought through any of the aforementioned competitors. This is all thanks to a unique subscription-based model that eliminates pesky service fees from every purchase, allowing you to save up to 30 percent more than other resell sites. Take a look at sample comparisons below.
Elton John Ticket Prices*

| Sat. October 27, 2018 | Chicago, IL | 2x Sec 304 Row 14 | $665.52 | $665.60 | $642.60 | $579.95 |

Ticket Club members reap the reward every time, saving nearly $100 compared to Ticketmaster’s prices for John’s arena show in Boston. Miami-based fans can enjoy savings of roughly $87 and up when using Ticket Club versus competitors. And although Elton John’s visit to San Jose, Calif. is nearly a year away, fans who secure tickets now can guarantee to keep at least 60 extra dollars in their pocket.
While the above prices only reflect Saturday evening concerts (which are typically the most expensive by default), data shows that fans looking to save further by taking in a weeknight show may not have better luck. John’s Tuesday night gig in St. Louis on October 30 has tickets in Upper Section 312, Row P listed for upwards of $200 apiece. A pair of seats in that section would run buyers as much as $554 on Stubhub, $550 through Ticketmaster, and $545 on Vivid Seats. However, Ticket Club members once again win out in the end with a service fee-free total of $476, nearly $70 cheaper than the competitors’ lowest price.
Becoming a Ticket Club member and earning instant savings is easy. A one-time payment of $49.99 grants members access to thousands of event tickets with no additional service fees guaranteed, every time they buy. Click here to sign up and for more details.
