You are here: SmartShanghai > SmartTicket > Elton John
Elton John returns to Shanghai for one night this autumn to play Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena. This is the second time the British rock n’ roll legend has brought his huge live show to China after a sell out date in Shanghai back in 2004. Today, Elton John is established alongside The Beatles, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley as one of the top-selling recording artists in history. His career has seen hits such as ‘Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word’, ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me’, ‘I Guess That’s Why They Call it the Blues’, ‘I’m Still Standing’, ‘Sacrifice’ and the best selling single of all time, ‘Candle in the Wind'. We expect plenty of those as well as new tracks – he scored a number one single just this year with 'Good Morning To The Night', a collaboration with Australian electro duo Pnau.
Beijing: Elton John is also playing a show in Beijing on November 25. Tickets available here.
Can I chose a specific seat ?
Unfortunatly, no. Ticketing systems in China vary from venue to venue, and many are not sufficiently sophisticated to offer specific seat selection. The event promoters and venues we work with have no setup that allows third party ticketing agents to access to their respective floor plans. However, when you buy a ticket from us, you will automatically receive the best available seats within the category that you've chosen.
I live outside Shanghai. Can I still buy tickets ?
Yes, we can mail tickets to any city within China, but you need to bank transfer the purchase amount before we place the order for the tickets. Please proceed with the ticket booking, and we'll email you the bank account details once we've received your ticket order.
My friends also want to order. Is there a way we can sit together ?
Yes. Our "Invite a Friend" feature allows you to invite your friends to join you at the event and be seated with you. You will only be responsible for buying your own ticket, and SmartTicket will coordinate with your friend(s) to secure their booking(s) and to ensure you all sit together. It's easy to use: simply go ahead and book your own ticket and the "Invite a Friend" option will be offered to you at the final step. Please note, selecting this feature guarantees surrounding seats to your own will set aside for a maximum of 6 hours only.
How do I pay for my tickets?
You pay our delivery staff directly upon delivery of your tickets (cash or local Union Pay card with pin code). We accept payments in Chinese Yuan only. Please email us if you need a company fapiao.
