If only all those who are declaring they were done with Springsteen weren't full of shit we could move back into theaters. Entitled and ignorant, the fan base never changes. I have not bought tickets. I will not buy over priced tickets. I'm not mad about 1st day sale. I have no fear of missing out. I will go to any show I want (Not trying for Hollywood that show is designed to be expensive). I will pay under $100 (likely $50). I am at complete peace with no tickets because I understand ticket sales and I know 1st day sale is idiots day.
I don't feel that entitlement to lock up dirt cheap front row or pit tickets 7 months in advance. Only an idiot would think that. And that is why BTX is in an uproar and band members wives are being harassed on Twitter. Because the fan base is mostly idiots.
Last tour they were mad that tickets sold out in 3 minutes. Now they are mad that tickets are available but expensive. The solution hasn't changed. STOP THINKING YOU ARE ENTITLED TO BARGAIN PRICES SEVEN MONTHS IN ADVANCE. That peace of mind is expensive.
So shove your open letters up your ignorant asses. Everyone is angry just as always with every initial on sale since the internet got us out of lines at record stores. But most of that anger is from their own ignorance. That NBTB podcast guy has been explaining dynamic pricing on the BTX board for months. It is not complicated. It is market driven. It is basic Supply and Demand economics.
Wait and get a decent price as prices level out or buy on day 1 and get gouged. If your peace of mind is worth 2 grand more power to you.
You are not entitled to the best seats 7 months in advance for bargain bin prices but that is exactly what all the crying is about.
