I'm definitely going to start keeping a close eye on MKE prices now.pearlbeer wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 3:55 pmhttps://www.ticketnews.com/2023/02/tank ... g-on-tour/
Similar story here in Austin. I (very angrily) pass on tickets during pre-sale as they were well beyond insane. Last minute ticket, while still expensive, was much more reasonable. I'd guess prices dropped by 60%. Also, fuck ticketmaster.
A long line in the waiting room but it goes quick. From my experience things go better if you don't go for the expensive seats. I didn't want to spend more than $100 so I went for some in that price range & got them right away, none of the premium seat bs. I'm sitting 4 rows behind the stage which is good for Bruce. Can't wait until Monday!
What was the price range of the expensive ones when you got in? I have only looked at resale for this tour so I'm curious how high they go. We're looking for lower bowl not far off the floor, hopefully.chuckrh wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 12:40 pmA long line in the waiting room but it goes quick.

I didn't even look to be honest. I'm living on a fixed income & the entertainment budget only goes so far. I couldn't resist this figuring it will be the last run for me with the Boss. This year is the 45th anniversary of my first Bruce show. Junior year of high school. I saw him early in the tour in a theater & then at the end of the tour in December 1978. That show was about a week after the famous Winterland show & was the last one of tour. This was in a small arena.

There is a chance that you will get immediate access to available tickets and be able to purchase them w/out re-mortgaging.

There is a chance that you will experience great frustration bit will get eventual access with a slight chance that there will still be tickets at some price.
There is a chance that you will not even be allowed to access the actual ticket buying process.
There is absolute certainty that you will be frustrated, inconvenienced, have your chain yanked (i.e. be teased into thinking you're moving right along only to get bounced before you can buy) or ripped off in some fashion.
Agreed. The start of the tour typically goes like this for him but we are now 8 or so shows in on a tour that isn't really behind an album or thematically structured so the lack of set list variety is puzzling to say the least. At most of the shows post Tampa, he has planned on making changes according to his handwritten set list but keeps opting out of the changes over the course of the show and is reverting back to the same set.
So it actually worked well! Wound up with 2nd row off the floor straight back from the stage for 12/10 (last night of the tour) then went back and got some for 12/8 in the lower bowl with a partial side view, which I'm not all that scared of. The prices were in line with what I was comfortable paying. Now just have to wait 9 months!beantownbubba wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 2:31 pmThere is a chance that you will get immediate access to available tickets and be able to purchase them w/out re-mortgaging.

You're ahead of me. I saw him twice in 1978.beantownbubba wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 2:37 pmHere's some of why I always rave about the second time I saw Springsteen:

I knew one of the interviewees (Paul Kaytes) though we were not at the show together.
Wow, I"m sure that was quite a moment for Zach and very validating too. Although headlining arenas have got to be some pretty big moments just by themselves.
Yeah, the last couple of days I've been really wondering whether I made a mistake not trying harder to get tix for CT (the closest stop on this tour). I looked around a bit for tix and was once again discouraged by the high prices being asked for tix even for the nosebleeds, to say nothing of the incredible prices for good seats. But then i realized that when I add up the cost of flights, hotels and other costs that I'm paying in order to catch some of the upcoming DBT shows, the prices for the Springsteen nosebleed seats are cheap by comparison and the prices for the good seats aren't quite so outrageous. I'm still thinking about it...
I've had decent luck just looking on StubHub etc a few nights out - sometimes ticket prices "magically!" become much more reasonable.beantownbubba wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 5:03 pmYeah, the last couple of days I've been really wondering whether I made a mistake not trying harder to get tix for CT (the closest stop on this tour).

They also released some more tickets in the days leading up to these shows. If you're flexible I think you can luck out.pearlbeer wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 5:32 pmI've had decent luck just looking on StubHub etc a few nights out - sometimes ticket prices "magically!" become much more reasonable.beantownbubba wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 5:03 pmYeah, the last couple of days I've been really wondering whether I made a mistake not trying harder to get tix for CT (the closest stop on this tour).
