I scored pretty good tickets for $100 on the presale. I wasn't going to spend more than that, so I lucked out. I wasn't going for the gucci seats at all & had success. There's 2 sides to this....
    I went online as soon as tickets went on sale and was put in a stupid que, by the time I could get tickets they were all gone and were being resold for hundreds/thousands of dollars. He doesn't care and didn't address the issue. I can't get just a single Boston ticket, have to spend like $600.00+ for two. Really pissed.

    Couple weeks ago I scored a last minute ticket for the KC date, had a great time even sitting behind the stage and in the nosebleeds. First time seeing Bruce and I was thoroughly pleased with the setlist.

    Didn’t really get deep into Bruce until I picked up the Live 1975-1985 box last year. I would highly recommend it as an affordable and in-depth presentation of his classic era. Also there is something about the live E Street band that brings energy to the material that is kinda lacking on some of the studio cuts, in my opinion.

    So far I’m a big fan of everything up until the 90’s, although I’m starting to warm up to a few specific tunes.

    I saw Bruce Monday night in Seattle. The show was great. This year is the 45th anniversary of the first time I saw him when I was in high school. I've seen him play better but this show was better than most. I can't see him doing huge tours like this much longer. He's 73 now & showed some signs of slowing down. The show was 27 songs & clocked in at 2 hours 45 minutes. When I got to the arena I found my tickets weren't ADA as advertised. I complained & the arena upgraded me for free. There was one jaw dropper at the show: he did Trapped which he hadn't played in years. If you can get some realistically priced tickets I'd recommend going.
