    Yes they are. Thats awesome!!!! I had GA to a Bruce show three years ago and I got within 10 feet of the stage.
    Awesome! I want front row! They were expensive tickets but who cares...it's The Boss!!!!

    Its worth the price of admission. I know for the show I went to, they split the front and back GAs, and there was a lottery to see who got which section of GA. Not sure if your show will do the same.

    I'm not sure either. When I went to choose the tickets, it said GA and GA - No Chairs, so I chose that one. I hope they don't try to screw me and not have me in the No Chairs section.

    Nice!!!! Not a huge fan of GA but I would so do that for Bruce, I could see it being amazing!

    Still hoping something comes through in the fall, whether it be a last minute DC ticket, or coming home for one of the Jersey shows (the amount I've hinted at this to my mom and her bf...I think they know by now that I want us all to go, let's see if they come through :lol: ), or Pittsburgh on my birthday! Wish I had more money :?

    Yeah, I wouldn't have paid around $240 (bullshit fees, but I did donate $5 to the charity) for something, but this is Bruce and it will be totally worth it. No more big spending by me for a while.

    Nice work! I will be in the pit for the Gillette Stadium show 8/18. Can't wait. Even if you don't get in the first half of the pit via wristband lottery you still can get close to Bruce. I was back a bit behind the barrier for the March Boston show and bruce popped right up in front of me....then crowd surfed back to the stage. Unreal!

    To be honest, I would go in blind. Don't look at any of the tour setlists. Even though things change, some sections of the shows can be similar. Nice to not have any idea what is coming at you from the massive catalog! I hope they play some of the crazy set lengths they were playing in Europe. One show eclipsed 4 hours I think!

    And go nuts with your wishlist

    I've been a Bruce fan for at least 12-15 years and until last night I had never listened to all of Human Touch because of all the hatred it gets from fans. I just never thought it would be worth listening to. Well, I listened to it and it's not nearly as bad as I was expecting..I even liked several of the songs on it. Nowhere close to his best (or even his middle) of course, but it's still not a horrible record. Worst thing I would say about it is that it's a bit generic-pop sounding..and perhaps a bit too long. I've only listened to it once so I may end up hating it eventually :lol: Anyway, what are your thoughts on the 2 Black Sheep of the Springsteen catalog that never seem to get any love (Human Touch and Lucky Town)?

    If anyone is on a tight budget I've got 5 hard tickets for the Wednesday night show at Fenway (8/15). There are 4 stacked aisle seats right on the 3rd base dugout (F70 I think) and 1 single aisle seat in F64. Face plus fees for these tickets was about $125 but I'll sell them for $75 each. Send me a PM if you're interested -- I can meet you by Fenway on the day of the show and even walk into the show with you if you're worried they're fake. :lol:

    Got my tickets to the Gillette show Sat night. Does he have an opening band on this or previous legs of the Wrecking Ball Tour? Tix say 7:30 but I don't want to get in there and sit through an opening band. Also, being a Sat night and his habit of playing 3+ hr shows, I don't want to miss a note of his set.

    That's what I was thinking. So I will plan on being in the stadium by 7:30. Jeez, if he starts then, I can see it being a 3.5 hr show. One can only hope, right? His next show isn't until a week later in Toronto so why not? Plenty of time to rest up.

    Don't be disappointed if the shows aren't that long...I've read US shows are typically between 2.5 - 3 hours...maybe Still a GREAT show length.

    The shortest show I saw on the 2009 tour was at the Philly Spectrum... it was about 2h50m. The other 5 shows were 3 hours plus. I've seen two shows on the current tour and they were both 3 hours but were early in the tour. He's really ramped up the show lengths over the last 15 or so dates so I expect all the stadium shows to maintain that standard. Can't wait for Wednesday and Saturday!
