The producer of Elton's concert, slated for this month in Abu Dhabi, told the Times it is inundated with international demands as well on tickets to attend the performance of the icon.
We are receiving requests from Lebanon, London, Jordan, Bahrain, France and Qatar for tickets to attend the concert. This huge rush on the event has forced us to increase the number of tickets from 13,500 to 15,000, said Rania Kimaz, managing partner for Event Solutions, the concert organiser.
On January 22, the pianist is playing at the Emirates Palace.
This is the first time he has appeared in Abu Dhabi.
Tickets went on sale from December 14, 2007 and are available in three categories priced at Dh 295, Dh 595 and Dh 950.
