The initial presale offered the 10-night pass for either the VIP deck or the first two rows.

From the looks of it, from previous shows, it’s not a bad place to be and it’s off to the side of the venue seating. Not quite to the side of the stage. The resale prices are absolutely insane. Good luck!
Thanks, cfm123. Were there/are there 10-night passes with seats in the main section? I have to say the descriptions of these ticket offerings are cryptic to say the least? And agree that the prices are pretty astonishing. I think some 10-night pass (not sure which one) was about $2K originally?
Yes, all of the original prices for these packages were right around 2K and only $27.00 total for fees. Someone is selling a seat right next to me in the front row for $7700.00. That’s obscene.

I'm sorry but I hope this person / business has NO TAKERS and has to sell at a loss. The scenario you have described really gets my goat, touts really are t***s.

Best wishes from Jealous Boots on the other side of the Pond.

Thanks to you all for your tips. I am terribly disappointed that I missed out on the presale. I had all kinds of news alerts set after Elvis made the announcement on Colbert. But did not pick up the news until later in the day after the initial Citi presale opened, at which point the 10-day passes were all gone. I guess I'll have to see what shows up on the secondary market.

One more tip is to never give up. They don't release all of the tickets on day 1 of any presale. I was able to get my front row 10 night pass on day 3 of the sales. Good luck!

Counting the days myself.

I'm trying not to get too over excited, and I'll admit to some minor anxiety what if he does that voice-lag, way behind the beat too much stuff. I'm sure it will be splendid though.

I'll be taking depositions by day and seeing EC by night for many of these dates, so you might see me there in a suit and tie! :lol:

I'm looking forward to partaking in copious amounts of NYC pizza, meeting up with old friends, and seeing EC tear up the Tri-State area…

My friend has an extra VIP ticket for each of the 10 shows. He bought a pair for each show and I was supposed to accompany him, but my work schedule changed and now I'm unable to attend any of the shows. His tickets are available at face value (plus the usual TM fees). If you're interested, or if you know someone who's interested, contact me privately and I'll put you in touch with him.

Really hope people on this message board can take advantage of that offer from rockcat's friend. So sorry you can't make the shows!

I thought this might be the most suitable thread to pose this question, since it concerns all 10 nights. The original press release says EC won't repeat any song from the 100 listed in the printed program but that we should expect to hear some familiar favorites in the encore section. This makes total sense (this whole run is not just a gift to those of us fortunate to attend these shows but also a testament to the depth and breadth of this man's catalog) and why would we expect any different given the undertaking? You certainly couldn't fault him if we played the same 3 songs as an encore for every show considering. It's a *lot* of material.

The printed program, however, has a lot of songs one would think would be slotted into the familiar favorites section of the setlist. "Alison" is being played on the first night- I've never seen an EC show where it wasn't played- has there ever been a 9-show stretch since it was written where it wasn't performed? Pretty impressive.

Perennial setlist standards are also accounted for across the 10 nights- WTD, AWH, RR, (TAWWM)RS, IWY, EIWTB and "Veronica" all in the printed program (I don't necessarily think of "Veronica" as a warhorse in the same league as the others, but it's been played more than 500 times and is his biggest US hit) so my question after this long-winded post is: What similar songs do you think we'll hear across multiple nights? I guess PLU (lot of acronyms, sorry, it's late) hase to be there and probably Chelsea, I guess? But if Elvis wants to send us out into the evening with "Uncomplicated", "Other End of the Telescope" and "Blame it on Cain" I guess we'll just have to accept it waka waka waka.

Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.

Well...two things about this little interview. Firstly you ten nighters may rest easily as he clearly announced now semi officially at least, NO REPEATS in the ten nights! Impressive, as always our guy, huh? And I must hand it to the young lady for knowing what she needed to and pacing the short talk nicely.

“Myself, I’m rooting for Ozzy”!
Not only is he so gracious, he also nailed that prediction.

Has got me wondering how many of the 200 will be covers??

Should be FUN in whatever form it takes!

Let's make a related poll...see my new thread. Not covers exclusively...how about this one: HOW MANY DEBUTS WILL 23RD STREET GET IN FEBRUARY?

Hi, Rockcat, I tried to contact you but I don't believe it was successful- if your friend's tickets are still available, could you send me a message? Thanks! Hi, everybody else, sorry for the spam.

Long time listener, first time caller :)

I’m so excited for these upcoming shows! I missed the initial onsale last fall - my whole household had covid when they made the announcement and I was too busy hiding under my blankets to check email. I have managed to scrounge up single tickets to the 2/11 and 2/19 shows, so if nothing else, I get to see one solo show and one EC & SN show and that’s pretty awesome. I saw Costello & Nieve with the Brodsky Quartet in Boston back in 2004 and I remember it like it was yesterday - one of the greatest shows of my life - so to get this kind of scaled back performance again feels like a gift.

I have what is probably a dumb question that I’m hoping someone might have an answer for. I’d still like to find tickets for a couple more of the nights, but I’m also the primary caretaker for my young children so going to more shows is dependent on childcare arrangements, and the timing is real tight for that.

So my big question is: do we know what time these shows start? My ticket says “7pm” but I don’t know what that means exactly - is it doors at 7, show at 8? Is there an opening act? Or is it Elvis at precisely 7? (The later it is the better my chances of being able to go to more!) There doesn’t seem to be any further info on the venue’s websites or social media pages.

Many thanks! Looking forward to these shows!!

From what I’m hearing, doors at 7pm, Elvis at 8pm.
