With ticket sales for the E Street Band tour underway, I thought it would be a good time to check in. This morning, Belfast tickets sold out in 8 minutes [read the BBC story], breaking Oasis' record at the venue. London was also a frenzy; Oslo reportedly sold out in six minutes; Copenhagen in 15. European sales continue, and the first U.S. onsales begin this Saturday. We'll continue to keep our Tour/Ticket Info page current with the latest information and links. I've also added a Tour FAQ to that page -- just the very basics at the moment, but we're asked these questions frequently, and we'll update the list with pertinent info as the tour goes along.
The most Frequently Asked Question we're hearing this week is, "What's the deal with general admission?" Most of us, understandably, would love to know what we're getting ourselves into before we buy a ticket. So we reached out to the tour powers-that-be, and while they're not ready to make an official statement just yet -- "our intent here is to have info from all the venues before we announce anything" -- we've got some informal comments to pass along that offer more insight into what to expect.
The general deal with general admission
On the Rising tour, Springsteen concerts began regularly featuring a general admission floor (meaning the floor was standing-only, and unreserved), usually partitioned into a smaller G.A. section by the stage ("the pit") with a larger G.A. section behind it. Look for the same basic setup on this tour; seating charts from the individual venues typically show G.A. floors, with reserved seating on the sides and back.
Over the course of the Rising tour, the "rules" for the G.A. line (and specifically for entry into the pit) lacked consistency and organization, causing plenty of frustration. This time out, a tour source tells us that they are working to standardize the system as much as possible.
By the time the Rising tour reached the 2003 stadium leg, a pit lottery system was in place that offered G.A. ticketholders a fair shot at the pit without the need to stand in line all day; it worked. While there's no guarantee that the Magic system will be indentical, we're told:
Yes, in most cases the wristband lottery mode later in the day worked best, as it gave more people an equal chance. The other thing we're asking the venues is if we can give information out earlier where people can congregrate, as we know also a part of coming early is meeting other common friends you'd only see at these shows. We're hoping to arrange this so it at least seems a little more organized (and more importantly, safer) for the fans who come early to just hang with each other. But ultimately, the goal is not to have a situation where people think they're ahead of the game by coming way early or camping out.
If and when there's an official G.A. entry policy announced, we'll spread the news right away. In the meantime, hopefully this will help you figure out what to go for as you gear up for the ticket rush.
The week ahead in onsales
Saturday, September 8: Hartford, Philadelphia*, Chicago*, Albany, Arnhem, Antwerp
Monday, September 10: East Rutherford, New York, Milan
*There's a distinct possibility that second shows will be added in Philly and Chicago. No guarantees, but stay alert as the first show sells, a second show just might pop up.

Man, I really needed to take a LEAK today. Luckily I found somewhere to take a LEAK. If you guys want to know where to take a LEAK you can contact the RIAA and ask them why they and the people they represent are such greedy fucks.
Man, I really needed to take a LEAK today. Luckily I found somewhere to take a LEAK. If you guys want to know where to take a LEAK you can pm me
I am in the process of taking a LEAK myself, and I still have about 15 minutes before I am finished. Needless to say, I am very excited that I will finally get to take a LEAK after about 4 years of waiting!!
The 21st Annual Bridge School Benefit Concert will be held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. This year's concert dates and times are as follows:
Saturday, October 27th at 5 pm and
Sunday, October 28th at 2 pm
Nobody said ED couldn't show up at BRUCE'S show for a song. hmmm
"Rock and roll is something that can't be quantified, sometimes it's not even something you hear, but FEEL!" - Bob Lefsetz
I read that the tickets for Philly will be $68 and $98 each. That's pretty steep, even for the Boss, but it could be worse I guess.
Here's to hoping for a pair of tickets for me and my ol' man!
It's basically $98 for every seat in the house except the upper level last 8 rows or so.
good luck.. and keep an eye out for a 2nd show going on sale after the 1st sells out quickly.
This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.

Social awareness does not equal political activism!
5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
are all the tickets except Philly going to be sold through ticketbastard? (particularly the DC show?) i see ticketbastard is only showing the minnesota and hartford shows.
funny when people complain about prices for Bruce, and especially with ESB .
historically has always had lower price ranges for all his shows--
the guy leaves it all on the table, every night ,
gives 125 % , every night .
--ranging from 2 1/2 hour shows up to 4 hours ( who does that anymore )
--different setlists -from a vast catalogue-- every night .
--the songs are american rock and roll classics .
IMO also one of the most underestimated guitarists and overall musicianship as well, and we all know about the lyrics.

If tickets are available day of sale at outlets, this should help.
Announced last week, Macys has opened an additional 38 TM outlets at Macys in the Northeast. Chances are, not many people are aware of these outlets. I'm sure that people here heard this also and am a little surprised, (well not really) that this was not mentioned.
Do your legwork & see how they will handle this since they are new outlets(random, lineup, bracelets etc.) Good Luck, here they are.

We sit in the car outside your house
I can feel the heat coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you
and you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
well you let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes
I'm goin down
We get dressed up and we go out, baby, for the night
We come home early burning, burning in some fire fight
I'm sick and tired of you setting me up
Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a knock-a me down
I pull you close but when we kiss I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started
My kisses used to turn you inside out
I used to drive you to work in the morning
Friday night I'd drive you all around
You used to love to drive me wild
But lately girl you get your kicks from just driving me down
