The high prices were for me the reason why I did not see Springsteen on Broadway. So I had to wait a couple of years to finally see the man I love for his music. Now again the prices made me decide not to buy tickets in the U.S., simply since I cannot afford them (including the trip to the U.S. from The Netherlands). I, as a fan accept this decision. I do not see that the blame is entirely to Bruce, Bruce Inc., or Ticketmaster, it's market.
Am I bumbed not to see Bruce in his home State; DEFINATELY. Do I accept it; FOR SURE. I, luckily, get to see him perform 6 times in Europe, and if I find the money and time, I may add a few more (in Europe). I even think prices in Europe are extremely high, but so it seems for other bigger acts. I remember once, me skipping buying tickets for U2's Zooropa tour because they would cost me a 100, guilders at the time. Now I am paying 150,00 Eur. for just 1 ticket. I must be nuts too.
One thing made clear to me. Too many of Springsteen fans idolized Bruce, and projected themselves to the characters he described in the music. To me, he never claimed to be those characters. Will I be enjoying his music, and the performance of them any less? HELL NO.
I am sure, if you guys wait a little longer, cheaper tickets for the shows will emerge. And if not, than all these WAY TOO Expensive tickets appearantly have been bought by fools. I would never pay $4000,00 for a show, not even for Bruce.
