George Michael tickets going fast
For fans of George Michael (who teamed with the above-mentioned Elton John in 1991 to reprise John’s 1974 hit “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me”), they’d better get to a local ticket sales kiosk soon: tickets for the July 9 concert at Olympic Stadium are quickly disappearing. Basement ticket price is Hr 150, and normally at Kyiv concerts these are the best seats, but given the stadium format and the potential for intrusive VIP seating, fans would do well to find out exactly what they’re getting for their money. In any case, given that the Rolling Stones date on July 25 was cancelled, this concert should be the show of the summer, the Elton John date aside. The George Michael concert will kick off promptly at 7pm.
