When tickets for the July 16th Billy Joel "last concert at Shea" concert went on sale, I wondered if there might be another show added since this one was selling so well. Which, of course, would mean that people buying July 16th tickets wouldn't be seeing the last concert ever at Shea.
Well, a second show has indeed been added: it'll take place July 18th, and tickets go on sale this Saturday, Feb. 23rd at 9 a.m. The drill will be the same as the first Billy Joel show at Shea: tickets on sale only at www.507tixx.com or by phone at (718) 507-TIXX. Holders of Citicard bank cards have access to a presale; check out www.privatepass.citi.com for details.
The first Billy Joel show was the fastest-selling concert in Shea Stadium history: more than 50,000 tickets were snapped up in 48 minutes, according to the promoters.

Billy Joel Shea Stadium Tickets on Sale
Tickets for Billy Joel's July 16th Shea Stadium show, said to be the last concert at Shea Stadium, went on sale Saturday, Feb. 16th. Apparently the tickets are available only at www.507tixx.com or at the phone number for 507tixx. Tickets are probably already gone at this point, but if you really want to go to this show the 507tixx.com site has a link to a site where you can bid for the tickets through a Ticketmaster auction.
While many people are dying to go to this concert because of the twin appeal of seeing Billy Joel and attending the last show at Shea Stadium, well, you may be better off waiting a bit. It's long been said that if the July 16th show sold out quickly, a second show might be added. If that show takes place on July 17th or later, then people with tickets for the 16th will not be seeing the "Last Play at Shea," as the original concert is being billed.
For those who want to get Billy Joel tickets but aren't wedded to the idea of going to the Shea concert, there are plenty of other venues to see the Piano Man. In fact, he's on tour now. The Billy Joel page at Ticketmaster lists shows at a variety of venues, from Anaheim later this month to Denver, Columbus, and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
