Unfortunately that has squeezed some people from going to shows. My wife wants to go to Vegas in the fall to see U2 perform at the new Sphere. Those tickets are going to be nutty expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you should be fine. Much of the brouhaha surrounding Bruce ticket prices -- which was mainly driven by the completely mysterious and completely BS "dynamic pricing" -- was overhyped. Some of the outrage was warranted, but ultimately I think you did well. I got tix for one of the UBS shows in the lower tier / corner rear of stage when they went on sale for a relatively reasonable price. And then I got 4 GA's for one of the MetLife shows, for also about what you'd expect to pay face value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Bruce will be playing Wrigley Field this summer and I have been monitoring tickets/. Prices are not too bad. Can get decent seats for $200-$300 each. Just no reason to rush and buy tix now for an August show, so I am just waiting it out. The one that shocked me was Queen with Adam Lambert. They are at the United Center in the fall. Unless they find a way to resurrect Freddie Mercury, I have no interest in Queen with some American Idol dude as vocalist, but my wife and daughter want to go -- and my wife does not like driving into Chicago. Smaller venue than Wrigley Field, but tickets are comparable if not higher than Bruce. I don't get it. At least if you are going to see Springsteen, you are actually seeing Springsteen. And don't even ask me about Pink (or why I even looked). She is playing Wrigley and tickets are 1.5x - 2x Bruce tickets. Why? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices will come down closer to the show. (That's basically true for every show that's not at MSG or Prudential). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed -- and this makes me look forward to seeing him when he gets to Chicago this summer. I have never seen him live. Growing up. 70s/80s, I thought he was one of the most overrated, overhyped and overplayed acts. I disliked him and could not see what others saw in him. As I have gotten older, I have come to appreciate his music a lot more and I am really looking forward to the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll love it. I did not grow up in that era but I can imagine how the River/BITUSA stadium tour era theatrics could be off-putting. But after you strip away all of that you're still left with, in my view, one of the top 5 songwriters in the history of rock music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally they'll let you have access to a ticketmaster "presale". But it has nothing to do with your seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
