All tickets purchased for the April 22 concert will be honored on Tuesday, April 25 and will not need to be exchanged. For more information, please visit www.msg.com.

Joel’s Madison Square Garden franchise run will resume as scheduled on May 5, 2023.

“Please note, the May 5 performance is subject to change if it conflicts with a playoff game”.
