Vivid Seats is the New York Post’s official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase.
OK, you waited until the last minute.
Billy Joel ‘s 150th and final concert at MSG is on Thursday, July 25, and just now you’re realizing, “Wow, I’d love to go to that.”
Well, your patience — or forgetfulness — may have worked in your favor, Piano Men and Uptown Girls.
As of now, super last-minute ticket prices are dropping.
When our team last reported on Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden, prices started at $563 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Just five days later, some seats are going for as low as $398 before fees at the time of publication.
That’s a whopping $165 in savings.
Not bad considering you’ll likely get to hear “Only The Good Die Young,” “Vienna,” “New York State Of Mind,” “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant,” “Movin’ Out” and so many more timeless hits.
Plus, we’d bet Joel will bring in a special guest or two (at recent shows, Sting , Jerry Seinfeld and Phish frontman Trey Anastasio joined him onstage).

Billy Joel history at MSG
Joel’s history with Madison Square Garden dates back all the way to December 1978 when he played the arena for the first time on the heels of the success of “The Stranger.”
In the 45 years since, Joel performed at the venue over 100 consecutive months since January 2014 and earned MSG’s records for “Most Lifetime Performances By Any Artist,” as well as “Most Consecutive Performances By Any Artist,” according to ABC 7.
Back in 2006, Joel broke the record for “Most Consecutive Performances By Any Artist” at MSG with 12. Soon after, he beat his own record in January 2015.
Three years later, he performed his 100th show at MSG in July 2018. In his honor, former Governor Andrew Cuomo declared July 18, 2018 “Billy Joel Day” in the State of New York.
