ALL discounted tickets for Northam residents to see the forthcoming Elton John concert at St Mary's stadium have been sold out.

Concert promoters Marshall Arts offered people living near the venue several hundred tickets priced at £25 - £10 less than the standard ticket price.

These have now all been snapped up after letters were sent out to households advertising the offer for the concert on May 28.

Elton, pictured above, will be the first ever act to play at The Friends Provident St Mary's Stadium.

He last performed in the area five years ago at Broadlands Romsey as part of his solo "evening with" concert series.

He has also played dates at Southampton University and Guildhall throughout his career.

About 25,000 tickets have already been sold for the concert with a small number still remaining.
