    Everything in Boston is now high-priced resale. Was hoping for a sudden second show announcement but none has come. Spent waaaay too much time on this today. 
    Doesn’t seem like they will do back to backs so they won’t happen, but I bet a lot on a Fenway or Gillette show next August or September happening.

    Does anyone have a presale code for St. Paul? Thanks!

    And now you can sit almost anywhere you want because so many tickets went to scalpers. This wasn't a great ticket buying experience, Bruce.

    Yes this was in Detroit for the reunion tour in 99 and whatever was being toured in 07.  In 99 I probably actually called ticketmaster and payed over the phone with the tickets being held at will call or something as I don't remember the internet being what it is now yet.  Anyways both shows the good seats with low prices were bought the day of or the day before.  I learned from my aunt who was a big Springsteen fan that he  has been know to do this so I gave it a shot.  I don't know if he still does this in the current world of platinum pricing and legalized scalping though.  I can't believe I haven't seen the Boss since 2007.  

    Edit:  I also used this method for the tom petty Mojo Tour and ended up with front row seats .  Probably my best score ever.

    Wow, that is a good score.  I saw that tour as well.  ZZTop opened and it was a great show.  ZZ was fantastic in their own right.

    Yeah there's no reason to buy tickets now if you aren't getting them directly from TM.  There are always reasonable tickets to be had in the hours right before the show.  I'd also join a Bruce ticket fb page.  

    I missed my window for the presale so now it will be a game time decision.

    I'm still trying to buy early because my wife and I are such homebodies. If we don't have a specific plan to do something we almost never make it happen at the last minute. We'll see come March, but a Monday night show is going to be easy to skip.

    Managed to grab a pair of upper deck tickets for the St. Paul show at the original list price of $75 a pop. $200 total after fees.

    I don't know who opened my friends and I got so high before the show we almost didn't make it in time for the opening song!   I just saw ZZ Top for the first time 3 weeks ago, with their new bass player.   It was a great show and Billy still has it.

    Those ticket prices are really funny. 400 beans+fees each for the last row upper deck. What a farce. Try my luck in the new year I guess

    It's  a shit show and many long time fans are sitting this one out.
    However, I'll be going to a handful of shows, mostly in the Midwest, and will get in the pit or good lowers for under $100 gauranteed.

    And for those that are curious here is face prices before "dynamic" pricing....

    Outside of the northeast you have a good chance of that. It's just the Bruce strongholds where there'll be real issues.
    This weekend we rock Portland
