Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Tour 2023

[Snapolit1]

$200 is nothing. Prices in NY are are insane. $850 to sit behind the stage. No thanks.

We are supposedly in an an economic disaster in this country. But everytime I look for tickets for a show all of a sudden $500 doesnt get you even a crappy seat. And everyone is driving to the show in a car far better than mine. Makes one wonder.

Seen Bruce more than a dozen times. Not paying $2000 to go with my wife.

I +1 totally agree. There is no chance I would go for that kind of money.

It was a surreal experience for me buying these tickets. I literally watched the ticket prices go up before my eyes on the Ticketmaster app. First there was the weird lottery to get through just to be able to buy tickets. Then I had 2 $150 tickets selected, and in the course of paying for them was notified they were no longer available. Then the $150 tickets I now have went to $175 as I watched. I was able to get these, and as I say, with "fee" and tax, over $200 each. And then it was weird how they went on sale months before the tour began. But I have the tickets, and look forward to the concert. At 73, who knows how long he can keep going. Same for the Rolling Stones. Now with Tom Petty gone, and Christine McVie gone and Lindsey Buckingham out of Fleetwood Mac, you can see the righting on the wall. I admit I am an old fogey; I couldn't give a good hoot about what is coming along after these guys pack it in.

His rare 1976 Joepie "rookie" and a more common 1978 Swedish Samlarsaker.

I do want to go and seen him at least 20x since 1985. But yes, the tickets are ridiculous. They are priced like 1 of 1 auto orange refractor die cut parallels.... I'm hoping he does stadium shows in the summer--tailgating in the swamps of Jersey enhances the experience.

I'd rather have a 1914 CJ HOFer for that price, and blast Born to Run on the stereo (do they even call it that anymore) when it comes in the mail.

You are a dinosaur, you should stream it from an app on a device.

The Three C's (Cards, Concerts and Cars) are getting too expensive nowadays!

Hell we can even add Coffee as a fourth!

People will pay the price for Bruce though. Especially with so many of the Rock Stars from the 60s and 70s dying off. It's a shame how many we have lost in the past decade alone.

I love Springsteen, seen him dozens of times starting in 1984. But I have to say this, he is supposed to be the working mans hero but his prices now have kept this working man away. Sorry

I love these- thanks for sharing.

Do you know anything about this supposed "rare" Bruce/Clarence Panini set of 4? This seems like a big chunk of change for 4 relatively modern stickers.

Thanks!!

I was lucky enough to see him in the Born in the USA tour, Pontiac Michigan. Tickets cost me $17.50. I remember standing in line for an hour at a Ticketmaster located in a local mall.

I bought Metallica tickets for my son for Christmas - he will have to wait through another Christmas and two summer birthdays for the concert!!
