$350 for nosebleeds at Mohegan. Yeah, not happening.
Oh well. Guess we’ll see what happens the closer we get to the actual shows.
In the wake of an ongoing furor over “dynamic pricing” for Bruce Springsteen’s tour, Ticketmaster took the unusual step Sunday afternoon of releasing some statistics about costs and percentages for the dates that went on sale last week. Downplaying the number of controversial “platinum” tickets with variable prices that reached as high as $5,000 apiece on the first day of on-sales, Ticketmaster says those represent only 11.2% of the overall tickets sold.
By the ticketing service’s calculations, that left the other 88.2% of tickets sold at fixed prices that ranged from from $59.50 to $399 before added service fees.
Ticketmaster further says that the average price of all tickets sold so far is $262, with 56% being sold for under $200 face value
Over the weekend, in an attempt to quiet things down, Mr. Springsteen’s camp gave Ticketmaster permission to release some numbers. Just 1.3 percent of Ticketmaster users paid more than $1,000 per ticket. Also, 88.2 percent of tickets were “sold at set prices,” according to Ticketmaster, though the remaining 11.8 percent are likely to represent more than 11.8 percent of the revenue per show, owing to their higher face value.

"Regardless of the commentary about a modest number of tickets costing $1,000 or more, our true average ticket price has been in the mid-$200 range. I believe that in today’s environment, that is a fair price to see someone universally regarded as among the very greatest artists of his generation.”

What absolute cunts
Even with inflation, that is absurdly high for an "average" ticket to see Bruce Springsteen, or any artist on the planet. I've never had to pay more than $200 to see a show, and our prices have always been like 20%-50% than Americans or Europeans regularly pay. Speaks of greed and nothing else.
There’s no way it was in the $200 price range on average. It certainly wasn’t for me.
I got a GA ticket for Kansas City! I got a GA ticket for Kansas City! Let's fucking go!!!
I paid the most money I've ever paid for a concert ticket but I don't care. I'm honestly doing alright financially at the moment, and this is an artist I've loved my entire life and have never seen in concert. And I decided I wanted to actually have a ticket in hand instead of waiting months and constantly checking StubHub and all that shit. Let's go.
Ohhhhhhhhh goooooood for you.How have you never seen him live? I've seen him four times.
I think you're going to love it, have a great time and take it all in.
The important thing is that the miss is being addressed. Congrats on the ticket grab!
I did GA in Hartford in 2012 and I'm fairly certain this was the policy.Thanks, I'm excited. I was going back and forth all day and am glad I finally got it done. Definitely something to look forward to. My first instinct is I might get there early and do the whole "Wait in line for good GA seats" thing. Which is also something I've never done. We'll see.
