Got tix for Portland, I'm tempted to swing up to Seattle the next day but the only tickets left are behind the stage way up in the second level AND they are $95 before fees and taxes.

i have had rearstage ( lower lodge or mezzanine )for this tour and suprisingly it was still awesome, just a different vantage point, and of course depending on the venue / acoustics, you should be okay.

Its also nice when you do go to back to back nights , that you can be pretty sure that youll get a differtent setlist each night . Sure , youll get the same 12-13 maybe 14 songs, but those 6 or 7 others really can differ .

enjoy the show(s) .

so far theyve only announced 3 Giants Stadium / Meadowlands shows- but we can all be sure they'll be adding a bunch more.

Yeah but the person I'm going to Portland with doesn't want to pay $115 to sit behind the stage. If it was the only way I could see him then, yes.

***UPDATE*** all that's left is scattered singles.

trust me rearstage isnt bad at all.

Bruce, Stevie, Nils , even Gary, all play to the back , youll still love it, guaranteed.


enjoy !

December 10 / Stockholm, SWE / Globe Arena
Notes: While everyone had a great show tonight, and Steve was very into it, clowning around even more than usual, there was no denying this was the Big Man's night. With "She's the One," the crowd began bowing "we're not worthy!"-style during Clarence's solo, and they kept it up for his turn in "Working on the Highway" and onward. By "Dancing in the Dark," Bruce and Steve were doing it too! "Dancing" also featured Clarence's son Christopher on acoustic, and during the band intros Bruce proclaimed Clarence "The Godfather of Swedish Soul!"

"The River" came out for the second show in a row -- as in Copenhagen, this was a tight, album-style version of the song, as opposed to the drawn-out version of tours previous. It's a spare rendition, too, with no electric guitar: Bruce on just harp and vocals, Steve on acoustic, and Nils on pedal steel. Oh -- and plus the vocal stylings of about 15,000 fans.

Yes, a tremendous Swedish audience as we've come to expect, with great energy -- everyone into the show, singing along in all the right places. And not in the wrong ones -- when Bruce went to shush the crowd as usual before "Reason to Believe," they went pin-drop silent before he even finished his request. And you better believe Bruce took notice, saying in the encore, "It's an incredible audience out there tonight," and granting an enormous banner's request of "Jungleland," dedicating it to the crowd. "Jungeland" was played in place of the setlisted "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town"... but a few songs later, Bruce decided to keep the show going after "American Land" for the first time, adding "Santa" to cap the show as a bonus track (the way it should be, we think), with a merry "God jul from the E Street Band!"

A. Ticket limit is 8 per show with a maximum of 4 GA tickets per show.

A. The field will have both a General Admission (GA) section and Reserved Seating.

Q. Where is the seating chart?
A. The seating chart for this event has been posted on this page and on ticketmaster.com. Please note that the 2 small section behind the GA section on the field are section 2A (next to section 2) and section 3A (next to section 3). Both these sections are reserved seating.

So that there is no confusion, this is not the same seating chart that was used for the 2003 shows at Giants Stadium. The sections on the field are numbered differently.

Q. Where is my seat located within a section?
A. The best way to explain it is "Higher numbered seat is closer to higher numbered section." So, if you have seat 1 in section 111, you are on the aisle next to section 110 and seats 2, 3, 4, etc. will be going towards section 112. If you have seat 1 in section 222, you are on the aisle next to section 221 and seats 2, 3, 4, etc. will be going towards section 223. For field seating, same rule applies.

Q. Where is the stage located?
A. The stage is in the west endzone (section 101 end.)
