Can somebody help me with this, I thought I remembered that he once (years ago) said something like 'I don't want my tickets to be out of reach for the average working man' in an interview. But with the recent developments it is hard to find by Googling. Does somebody remember something like this?
I don't remember that quote but this tour certainly qualifies under that promise.
I make less than the average working man. I am going to 3 shows on the first leg. Tickets are not out of reach for me. They are a bit expensive but easily affordable and worked into my budget at the sacrifice of other things.
Did you know the average working man often takes his family to the movies and drops over $100 in one night on a crappy 90 minute suckfest they could watch at home in a month? I don't EVER do that. That's insanity to me. So, every time the average worker shells out $100 to see a Kevin Hart film I put $100 in the Springsteen can.
How many movies has he taken them too since 2016 when I last saw Springsteen? That's a lot of ticket money this below average working man can afford. It's all about priorities. The working man can afford it if it's what the working man wants more than the billion other choices where he could spend his money.

All about choice, your choice as a buyer of tickets.
Not going to the movies with kids take away their joy in life (see a movie in the theatre adds a whole different experience than seeing it on the TV) to add to mine. Sounds a bit egoistic to me.
Let's face it............. there is no right or wrong here.............. only choice. Does one like a choice depends on the choice made.
I do agree that the discussion on the prices are bit painful to read. We think we are entitled to tickets, but be honest, we're not. Not even those that have been to shows more than ones (up to plenty shows).
Ticket-prices are business, and business is affected by supply and demand.
