I couldn't pull the trigger on Camden Yards tix, field tix AND lowers were more per ticket than the lowers I have for Capital One. I'll wait until these dates gets closer, if I can get it cheap, I'll go, if not, I'm good.

I was able to get two pretty good uppers for Baltimore Arena when they went on sale for only $99 each so my older son and I could go in April. Recently my 10 year old asked me to take him to see Springsteen. The Camden yards field tickets were $299 each plus fees. I really hesitated before buying 3 tickets so I could take both boys. Bruce isn’t getting any younger and I didn’t want to regret not getting the tickets. Who knows when the next tour might be. I just wish my younger son had given me a heads up he was interested when I was buying the $99 seats. 😂 But I’m getting to see Bruce twice this year so I’m not going to complain too much.

If I hadn't seen the 2016 Nats Park show, which was PHENOMENAL, I might have been more willing to pull the trigger on show #2 on this run. I'm guessing I end up going anyway lol, hopefully at a reduced price but we'll see. Either way, it will be worth it, no question
I feel like this might be the only place that might understand the funny hatred / gripe I have for Dirty Water after the whole Dirty Frank tease back in 2018 at Fenway.
Anywho, I saw my first Bruce show on Monday! It was terrific!
2010 - Boston
2011 - Alpine 1 & 2 --- EV - Providence & Boston - Tres Mts - Boston
2012 - Missoula
2013 - Wrigley, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Worcester 1 & 2, Philly 1 & 2, Hartford
2014 - Detroit, Moline, St. Paul, Milwaukee
2016 - Greenville, Hampton, Columbia, New York City 1, Fenway 1 & 2, Wrigley 1
Was able to score a decent pair on the aisle in the upper deck. $240 all in fees. A Saturday night show in late August. Pretty pleased.
Enjoy. From the looks of the seat map, you might get upgraded like they did with the 2nd GnR show back in 2016. Gotta be 35-40,000 unsold seats at this point. Methinks someone overestimated the demand.
This weekend we rock Portland

I think the problem is if up your game (4 hour sets, varied setlists etc..), whenever you have to pull back from that (most likely due to age of band members), it's rough going backwards.
I mean we only have 3 hour+ sets from PJ from 13 to 18, so 5-6 years. They're still awesome, but do we miss it. Sure we do
saw the DC show, and what can you say other than he/they have still got it. Not nearly the marvel that was the 2016 Nats Park marathon, but still a spectacular arena show by one of the best to ever rock an arena. Probably wont see a ballpark show this Fall, could be my last Bruce show, who knows . If so, great way to go out. For those holding tix, get ready!
do they do posters for every show? I really hope there's one for the Vancouver show.
Yes... they're pretty much all the same, just some city specific embellishment on the pick guard.
And pricey... I'll probably pass. I did just get 2 tickets in section 104 row G for Baltimore. Got them for $400 out the door which isn't bad considering. I told myself I would wait until right before show on Friday to pull the trigger, but this price is pretty good. Small arena of 14k should make for a great show.

Awesome. Always looking for Non-PJ posters to hang up around the house to balance it out a bit more

We had to hustle it from the Orioles home opener this afternoon down to the arena to see Bruce. Seemed like half the stadium had the same plan. Long line to get in and I expected there to be no posters left but we were pleasantly surprised to find plenty and zero line at the merch stand. Made it to our seats about 10 minutes before Bruce came on stage. Amazing show as expected. There was a merch trailer we passed leaving the venue and they had posters for sale too. Crazy since there were only 300. If only PJ was that easy.
We’re making the trip back down from NJ in September to see him at Camden Yards. Fans were awesome at the game. Zero hassle for wearing our Yankees gear. Classy fans.

GREAT SHOW! He hasn't been playing Hungry Heart but I guess you're obligated when you're in Baltimore so that was great. The highlight for me was Kitty's Back, it had such great groove. Nightshift was a surprise.
I'm staying at the Hilton next to Camden and the whole scene was a nightmare. Chaos everywhere. My hotel was overrun by a convention of Church goers from Africa. There were a million people in the lobby. The whole downtown was chaos too. Like you, barely made the start.
So glad I went. Was the show unusually loud, specifically the crowd? This arena has a reputation of bad acoustics, but maybe it was fixed during the reno. I thought it sounded great.

The show definitely seemed loud but it’s the only show I’ve seen there besides PJ in 2013 so I don’t have a lot to compare. Crowd was really fantastic.

I got the Baltimore poster up on the wall in the garage above the mud room storage for all the kids coats and shoes. 🤘🏻
BTW, did they scan your tickets? They did not for me, nor anyone else around me. There was no scanning. Crazy.
It was a mob scene once we got thru the metal detector. There was one person trying to scan tickets and it was a free for all. We could have easily side stepped the ropes and gone in without being scanned. But we toughed it out and waited about 10 minutes before we could fight our way up to the front. Big problem I saw was a lot of older folks having no idea how to pull up their tickets on their phones and it was really slowing things down.

Love the wall but I think you are going to need to get a new sign to match the posters now.
Haha. So I ran out of room for posters on the walls in the home office and was looking for a spot to hang more. I suggested to my wife that I could remodel part of the garage and turn it into a mud room for the kids school gear, boots and jackets. She thought it was great idea. I built upper and lower storage cabinets and put up bead board and a chair rail. Amazingly… That gave me a ton of extra finished space to hang more posters. 🤣 I have another 5 or six between DMB and Gaslight Anthem out there too. The sign was a gift from a friend and it fits the spot between the upper cabinets and the posters pretty well. It’s like 6 feet long so it’s probably staying out there for now. 🤘🏻
