High prices for Bruce Springsteen concert tickets irritate some fans
That’s because Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing” has seats reaching $4,000 to $5,000 per seat.
High prices don’t go down well.
“I’m sure you won’t see this @springsteen but you or your management need to have a word with the heinous criminals who run @Ticketmaster who charge exorbitant amounts to see you in concert”, one person tweeted. “Please listen to your fans, no one can afford these ridiculous ticket prices.”
Writer John Semley tweeted that Springsteen should “write a song about a worker who refinances his car and his house to buy tickets for Bruce Springsteen”.
“I got a sixty-nine chevy /with three-ninety-six fuel heads /and a hurst on the floor/had to sell it to go see the Boss at the Wells-Fargo Center,” said- he suggested as lyrics.
Stevie Van Zandt, star of ‘The Sopranos’ and member of Springsteen’s E Stret Band, responded to the uproar by tweeting in part “I have nothing to do with ticket prices.”
Tickets recently went on sale for Springsteen and his E Street Band’s international tour, which kicks off in February at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Prices started around $60 for some of the seats furthest from the stage.
CNN has contacted Ticketmaster for comment.
