8. Yay!
According to the notice I got thru Facebook, the tickets just went on sale at 10 AM.

Did you get good seats? Man, I hate Giants Stadium. I paid a lot of $$ to see Bruce a few years ago and I was So Far Away!

10. Eh, guess it doesn't matter
They're all crappy unless you're right up front.

But you do get the MUSIC, and the crowd energy, and you get to see the band on TV :eyes:

15. Jesus Christ is touring with Bruce Springsteen?
Should be a great show, but it might be hard for Bruce to call himself "The Boss" when JC's around.

23. My friend wanted to get Bruce tickets this year but I said I wasn't really interested
Last year she went to a ticket broker last time and I agreed. This time I said if she couldn't get thru I wasn't really that interested.

24. Yeah, I got caught in the Ticketmaster scam last time
I was online the second they were available and was immediately redirected to that resale site. I was like fuck it. I couldn't afford it.

25. No she opted to go there
She decided about 3 weeks before the concert she wanted to see Bruce for her birthday. She had family members at the concert and wanted to go and they had an extra ticket.

I really do like Bruce Springsteen but seeing him once in concert it's like "Ok I can scratch that one off my list of Concerts to see before I die".
