Elton & Joel Add Second Wrigley Date

Even though we weren't as excited about it as some people, we knew tickets for the July 21 Elton John-Billy Joel concert at Wrigley Field would sell pretty fast. So, too, it seems, did the promoters. In a move that's not really a surprise, a second date has been added. The promoters sent an email to ticket holders informing them of the decision. The original show on July 21 is still on but the second show will now happen on July 16. In addition to the second show, ticket holders for the 21st can stop by this website and apply to have their tickets swapped for "comparable" seats for the show on the 16th if they prefer. The deadline for applying for the seat swap is 5 p.m. this Saturday, February 21. So far, there's no concrete general on sale information for the newly added show but it can't be too far away.

Updated: According to the Live Nation website, tickets go on sale Monday at high noon.

Thanks for the tip, Lawrence!
