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!!  www.filmsfilmsfilms.co.uk - The internet's best movie site! | |

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! | |

I really think that the "best seats" will go for $400 this time.For the Confessions tour,it was $350,so it seems likely to increase for the next tour. | |

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! 
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! 
But...I swear I read that the best tickets in Moscow were over $900 face price!  Do you know about that?"I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

Did you manage to get tickets for Bruce's O2 show? Not yet...might have to leave it until nearer the time as we have a holiday to the States coming up before then.
