I’m on a Springsteen site and he’s getting slaughtered by everybody in there. It’s brutal, and I’m with them. Can’t imagine paying that kind of money to see anybody.
I got tix for the BJC at $270 each. If I'm paying a few grand a ticket, I'm sitting on the stage between Steve and Bruce and I get to pick a few songs. Oh, and I get to sub in for Max on a couple.
There is no defending it, it's a blatant money grab. Another ridiculous Ticketmaster policy is their fee is based on a percentage of the ticket price. So if someone actually pays a few grand for a ticket suddenly the Ticketmaster fee is several hundred dollars on top of the exorbitant ticket cost. Any fees should be a fixed price, Ticketmaster isn't providing an increased level of service for a more expensive ticket. They are just in it for the money grab and it sucks that they are the only broker for so many events. I'm a little disappointed Springsteen didn't issue a statement or take action to prevent this sort of crap from Ticketmaster. RATM didn't allow this, they issued strict rules to Ticketmaster. The bands can control this if they want to, but many don't want to because the public outrage gets directed at Ticketmaster while the bands reel in more money.Ticketmaster Defends $4,500 Bruce Springsteen Pricing

I don't blame Springsteen for one second.
I don’t blame anybody. It does make a bit of a mockery of the man who sings songs complaining about bankers and whatnot. He sold his catalog for $500,000,000 so it’s not like he’s hurting for cash at this point.
Agreed. I DESPISE Ticketmaster. I hope they go bankrupt

We better get used to this. It is the new Ticketmaster model. You price the tickets high when they go on sale when demand is highest. If people want to pay it, great. If not, they will keep lowering prices until they do. Very few performers care about ticket prices. Thankfully there are a few like Dave Matthew and Pearl Jam that still sell good seats at face value directly to their fan clubs.
Personally, I don’t have any problem with it. But it breaks the facade of his “man if the people” image he worked hard to create for a long time.
He is a man of the people in terms of being very gracious when he meets fans in person and even just being out and about where he lives. Economically, he hasn't been a man of the people for long long time.
Right. Once you’ve bought your daughter a million dollar horse you’ve lost your blue collar cred.
I agree with you 99%. Springsteen still has it and will put on a great show. You need to be careful. I'm a huge David Bromberg fan. I saw him last winter. He was good, but had to stop in the middle of one of his songs. He admitted to forgetting the words. He blamed long COVID.
Just went to see Garth Brooks in Charlotte a couple of weekends ago. He was playing at Bank of America Stadium (where the Panthers play). When tickets went on sale all seats were 1 price. I think it was $89 (I really don't remember because I bought them a long time ago), but that was the price for every ticket. I assume he did this for all of his shows on the tour, but I only went to this one. He could have charged as much as he wanted to. I know he doesn't need the money but he could have made a lot more on that show.
C’mon man.
