One pair of VIP tickets will be hidden as a golden ticket within a bar of exclusive ‘Crocodile Choc’ milk chocolate for fans to discover. There’s opportunities to win further VIP tickets by finding the QR code on the Elton van.

Speaking about the opportunity Andy Ashton, Network Content Director, Greatest Hits Radio, said: “Elton John is an iconic artist, much-loved by our listeners who love nothing more than enjoying the ‘good times’ by seeing iconic artists from the 70s, 80s or 90s live, and Elton’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Tour is one not to be missed! Utilising our reach across many of the areas of the UK that the tour will be visiting, we are uniquely placed to drive further anticipation and sales of the event to music fans, whilst connecting with even more music lovers at the stadiums. It’s a dream partnership!”
