So much controversy about upcoming Springsteen tour ticket prices. The high prices really bothered me as well but having been a fan for 40+ years I couldn't pass on the chance to see him again. Anyway, I was able to get tix to Prudential Center. And now have 4 tix at Barclays if anyone is interested. Will certainly sell lower than scalper prices.

Thought the Born concert was amazing. Thought the Tunnel of Love concert was goofy. But, having the Big Man at both was memorable. Is he touring with a band?

He’s a big name with a huge number of fans. Good for him for cashing in. If he can get thousands per ticket for the best seats, I’m happy for him.

Having said that, I wouldn’t go over $25 to see him. I saw him about 30 years ago, and someone else paid for the ticket. He was good. Band was tight, show was enjoyable enough. But he’s not really in the genre I enjoy most.

Wouldn't go for free! For me...he's one of the most overrated of all time. Guy can't sing a lick. Never understood the fascination with him.

I get that he isn't for everyone, but damn the man can put on a show. Him and the E Street band will go 3+ hours non stop. Paid $75 to see them at Rupp last time they were there. Worth every penny

I got two “pit” tickets for the South Fla show and paid way too much money. But he hasn’t toured in like 6 years and this may be the last time I get to see him. Always a tremendous show.

Seen him 12 times and all were great but my favorite memory is actually a Clarence memory. Saw them in Nashville and they played Trapped (old Jimmy Cliff song that was only on a live album) that has an incredible saxophone solo by Clarence. It was the next to last show on that tour. He died before the next tour.

Seriously Mav? Why do you hate this?

Thanks for this one , never heard it , back when his voice was ?? fresher ? Sounds great , I love the guys music , but in 2016 when he strongly went to bat for Hillary Clinton , to the point of being obnoxious I just felt like it was too much to overcome , then the plastic surgery and the crazy jeep commercial where he was near unrecognizable , and the DUI . Just all bad .

His 1984 Born in the USA tour visit in Dec at Rupp was about my favorite concert ever . Closed the show with the lights on doing " Santa Claus is coming to town" .. just amazing .

Used to love his music when I was a young guy , now I see him as a washed up liberal douche .
He was always a "liberal douche" you're just now noticing. Reminds me of people like Paul Ryan not realizing what Rage Against The Machine was actually raging against.

His "political" talk in his 3 hour shows are that they have people outside taking donations for a local food bank. I can live with that. I am anti-starvation. He has never done more than that.

yeah when I saw him he talked about giving to Gods Pantry. Past that it was just a lot of ‘thanks for coming out tonight’ and things like that. He did at one point ask the crowd to be quiet because he was going to play a quiet song. and then as soon as he was done he told everyone to start screaming and yelling again

I’ve seen him a couple times in Charlotte, plays a lot of songs but too many covers. Last show he decided his fans didn’t need to hear Thunder Road but we got hear him cover Louie Louie, I wasn’t thrilled.

When i saw him he was alternating each night between Thunder Road and Born in the USA. I got Thunder Road, and when I was leaving the arena there were people PISSED that he didn't play Born in the USA. I'd much rather hear THunder Road myself
