Elton John has announced that he will partner with the Twickets global fan-to-fan ticket marketplace for his "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour, which will kick off in September.

Fans that could not obtain tickets before can now buy them directly through the official Elton John and Twickets partnership website, with dates in Los Angeles and Toronto, Canada, currently available.
