Elton John to perform May 28 in Anchorage
Elton John will perform in Sullivan Arena on May 28. The show is part of his 2008 “Rocket Man: Number Ones” tour.
Tickets will be available starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, with a six-ticket limit per purchase. Ticket prices will range from $56.50 to $116.50, including the municipal surcharge, said Joe Wooden, regional general manager of SMG of Alaska Inc. The show’s promoter is Los Angeles-based AEG Live.
“This will be the biggest thing we’ve had here in recent memory,” Wooden said.
He noted that this would be Sir Elton’s first performance in Alaska and that, in addition to the Anchorage show, John would also perform at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks the following night.
In a recent interview with TV personality Larry King, John expressed an interest in performing in the U.S. states in which he had not yet appeared, and he mentioned Alaska specifically. (Vermont and Delaware were the other two.)
Since his first hit, “Your Song,” in 1970, John has sold more than 200 million records, recorded numerous Top 40 hits and 35 gold and 25 platinum albums. His most recent CD, “Rocket Man: Number Ones,” released in March, features newly compiled and digitally mastered hits spanning the singer-songwriter’s career and forms the core of what the Anchorage audience can expect to hear.
Reserved tickets for the Anchorage performance will be available Monday online at Ticketmaster.com, Charge-by-Phone at 562-4800, Fred Meyer Ticketmaster outlets and Sullivan Arena box office.

Sorry, thought Hillary might investigate somebody for campaign fraud.
Does it matter at this point? She’s going to get the nomination because the democrats live in bizzarro world, where they pick the candidate most likely to lose.
I’m not bashing or praising. I’m just saying that according to the rules what Dave did is legal, but what Elton did may not be. Hell, let her keep the money, she needs it!
And the laws of nature. Twins, separated at birth find love and happiness sniffing each other’s anus. A touching, heart-rending story of old lady love.
An Elton John concert? Did she inhale?
Don’t ask, don’t tell!
Which makes him good, while Elton (who lives in atlanta) is somehow bad? In both cases, they are volunteers just like my English grandmother, who stuffs envelopes.If we follow the logic of the post, Obama’s father would not be able to speak on his behalf.The Hillary bashers are really stretching it with this one. And praising Obama (who I support) for “american” Dave Matthews is just stupid. Naturalized or otherwise.
Does that mean Elton John can’t be elected President? The horror!Hillary has decided to make herself unelectable. I think she is intentionally running her campaign as an example of what the democratic party could be like if they washed themselves with the soiled and bloody undergarments of George W. Bush.
