Mexico City presales, on-sale timeline
Elton John tickets have been released through multiple sales windows.
The first opportunity came through the Banorte Bank cardholder presale, which ended July 14. Rocket Club members then received access to an artist presale on July 15, while the general public onsale began July 16 at noon local time.
Elton John’s official website emphasized that presale registration did not guarantee tickets because inventory was limited and sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Why Elton John is returning to Mexico City
Although Elton John concluded his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour in July 2023, he has continued to make select live appearances around the world. The Mexico City concerts are being promoted as a special farewell engagement rather than a return to full-scale touring.
In a statement posted on his website, John said Mexico City has “always held a special place” in his heart and noted his disappointment that the pandemic prevented him from bringing his farewell tour to Latin America. The upcoming concerts are designed to give fans in the region the goodbye performance they previously missed.
