Billy Joel tickets go on sale for Madison Square Garden today and it is probably going to be a hard-to-get show...here's a tip for you though. New York Yankee season ticket holders and New York Rangers Season ticket holders were sent an order form to get tickets for the Billy Joel concert as a perk for being season ticket holders.
But that's not the tip.
The forms mentioned that if tickets were not available, they would be filled for a concert in the same venue on a different day.
That means they are planning on having what are called "rollover" dates. This is important for two reasons. First, the show that has already been announced is on a Tuesday and the new shows could be closer to a weekend. Also, because not everyone knows there will be rollovers, it gives you less competition if you go for one of those shows - that means better seats!
Here is the strategy we recommend.
Try getting tickets for the January 23rd show. IF you like them, of course, you should buy them. If you DON'T like them, wait. About five minutes after the first show goes on sale, go to the Billy Joel Tickets page on Ticketmaster. Refresh it every minute or so and you will see new dates show up. You can go to that page and purchase tickets with a lot less competition, which almost always means better seats.
We are positive there will be rollover dates for Madison Square Garden. For acts like Billy Joel, there are often roll overs in the neighboring cities too: Philly and East Rutherford. It's hard to tell if there will be for other cities though, so it might be best to just buy what you get on your first try in other cities.
Good luck everyone!
