Summer 2016 will be another year of selective, high-profile bookings for Joel, with the Garden shows being the smallest venues on the route. In addition to MSG, Joel will play nine stadiums to run out the year, including seven Major League Baseball stadiums in North America, and a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London (with 60,000 tickets sold), and CommerceBank Arena stadium in Frankfurt, Germany.
As part of this 2016 run, Joel has already sold out Wrigley Field in Chicago, Fenway Park in Boston and Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park, each for the third year in a row.
Citi cardholders can purchase presale tickets starting March 21 at 10 a.m. through citiprivatepass.com.
