Springsteen 2023 tickets are a joke

[BarneysDad]

Tix went on sale this morning Mr Maverick & I had a go at purchasing from Ticketmaster but theres nothing seated (not standing up for 4-5 hours)
Seems Viagogo have hoovered up the lot & selling at 5x face value

There's some for Birmingham Steve. A mere £610 each. Or £394 if you don't mind being in the arse end of nowhere. The front standing tickets look like a real steal at £457.

Seriously? £457 for standing? Someone's having a laugh.

Much as I don't particularly mind the man, I wouldn't pay £610 a ticket to see the second f*****g coming, never mind a gig.

 

[Le Baron]

From what other artists have done in the past to make tickets more affordable for fans, nothing is stopping him stepping in to limit ticket costs. His so-called philosophy doesn't really sit well with the cost. Not that I'm blaming him for ticket tout b'stards, but they must know they're selling mass numbers of tickets to a single seller.

Ticket touts aren't the only shite-hawks in Ireland. Hotel owners are ripping people off too.

£6 in 1981 to see Springsteen, probably a lot better then as well. Prices are a joke now.

If he was coming to N.Wales, I'd like to thank him for the contribution he had made to popular music over the years, but that maybe an oversight in the prices "his team" wanted to charge would be (politely) taking the piss.
Furthermore, and speaking for the good people who have supported you for 50yrs .." Oi Springsteen NO !"

I went the night after that. I’ve got tickets for 5 shows this tour all at face value but it’s still going to cost me a fortune on travel etc.

What is the face value of the tickets?

 

[ziggy]

I have noticed that prices have risen considerably since Covid. Hardly surprising as no one buys the physical media any more and artists want to make up for lost revenue. Has put me off going to gigs. Eg I like Volbeat, but £88 and rip off priced drinks on top - no way.

What is the face value of the tickets?

$187.87 ,£101.9 ,€140 ,1005 DKK ,and 855 DKK all including fees. According to The Bank of England inflation calculator which goes to 2021 , £6 in goods and services 1981 would cost £18.21 in 2021.

I saw Bruce last on the wrecking ball tour when he headlined at the Isle of Wight festival a perfect summers evening and a cracking show played for about four hours straight. Noel Gallagher's High flying birds were on before.

The only way to deal with this in the long run is to boycott the concerts.

Same as not giving way to blackmail or kidnapping for ransom, to extinguish blackmailers.

Same here Richard bloody rip off

‘Takin’ the piss’ doesn’t even come close!

 

[Southeastern]

It'll be interesting how Bruce responds to this.

He claims to be a voice of the working man...

This could really affect my love for him if he dosent do anything...

McCartney played the Cheese & Grain in Frome 24th June 2022. £25 a ticket, that got to be a bargain! (well if you like McCartney it is)
