Springsteen announces tour ...damn it!!

This time last year I caught the concert going bug after seeing Madonna for the first time....the missus asked me then who else I'd like to see, and the top candidates were Prince and Bruce. Someone must have been listening; I was thrilled when Prince announced his 21 nights, but now Bruce is playing the O2 for one night (at the moment at least) on December 19th, to tour his new album.

This is really not good for my bank balance!!!!!

And Madge is rumoured to be touring again next year as well....looks like I need to work some overtime!! biggrin

Did you manage to get tickets for Bruce's O2 show?
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently

On the plus side for you, top ticket price is £57.50. So, this year, you can see two of the greatest live performers ever (Springsteen and Prince) at what is quite a bargain when you compare it to what other acts of their stature are charging.

P.S. It's almost a certainty that Bruce'll be back there in '08 to play (possibly a stadium date). On the last E Street Band tour, he did a second leg in Europe (including four UK dates) the summer after the initial jaunt.

P.S. If anyone has an extra ticket for London, one of my best friends is now living there and got shut-out during the on-sale. He may be able to provide accommodation!

In that case I don't wanna go again in Japan! The premium seats last time in Tokyo were 50,000 yen (about $446)...plus the closest seats were auctioned so they became even more expensive! shrug

I ended up paying $500 for my premium ticket (not one of the very best ones either) to the last show...of course I did only buy it 5 days before the show! wink

But...I swear I read that the best tickets in Moscow were over $900 face price! omfg Do you know about that?
