Bruce Springsteen General Discussion Thread

im gonna hold off and head to Barcelona gig on 28th of April 2023 and make a weekend out of it.still be a lot cheaper than dublin

Was anyone able to get to get tickets using the TM app ?

I'd book the week off, have a feeling 2 or 3 Barca gigs will be added.

Got my OH to try as well on her work PC and the same thing happened. Luckily she got through with her AIB app and got 2 standing for the Tuesday night.

I need a lie down now.

Not massively if you consider his main demographic and touring fanbase.

Not a surprise at all, Bruce has given consistently, multiple incredible performances since his 1st gig here in 1985. Totally uniquely, he does 3 hour sets, and people know and like what they are getting, and he always delivers. He has a huge and loyal (and older)fanbase, and he doesn't “over tour” here.

He falls into a very rare breed of live acts - a sure bet.

Its in line with all big touring acts. Post covid feel good stuff.

Not at all, he has consistently sold well here, 2 Croke Park gigs were pre covid, and has done 2 to 3 RDS’s a few times on more recent outdoor tours.

1: it's 132 for a standing Bruce ticket, at least compare like for like

2: Bruce will probably play for at least twice as long as Bieber so it's better value

3:He just sold approx 90,000 at that price, which like it or not, justifies it.

don't be gutted.

As The Nal said few days ago, tickets will be back online again in a few weeks, could be months. But definately will be when we get closer to the gigs. It happens every time with Ticketmaster, and every time everyone buys into the hype.

And even if no more tickets are officially available, there will be dozens selling them in the week before the gigs when other issues arise for people - sickness, work etc. Remember to check sites such as adviets, donedeal, toutless. If you persevere hard enough during the week before the gig, I guarantee you will get tickets.

I had a look on toutless website there and there are people selling them already!!!!!!

The only gig that I am struggling with at the moment is Olivia Rodrigo. Kids want tickets but there are 28 posts on toutless - all looking for tickets.

Gun n Roses, Green Day. Red Hot Chilli peppers and so on - all sold out officially, but eventually people find out they cant go or have overbooked, and tickets start to become available. On the day of those gigs, tickets for these mentioned bands will be half-price.

My god, who is paying €120+ to go to the RDS on a Tuesday.

I am caught between wanting to see Springsteen while I still can, and not wanting to do these stadium concerts for €100+. I had kinda hoped he might have come down to playing in the Point level by now, but clearly that’s never happening.

Do you really think a Bruce Springsteen fan cares what day of the week he's playing once they get to see him?

Happy I got a ticket for the grandstand for a change. Didn't get the day I was hoping for but what can ya but a sunny Sunday could be a great atmosphere

Roll on next summer, always nice to have something to look forward too

I'd love to see an indoor Bruce show

I'm gutted.

Had no internet this morning so no ticket for me.

Had accommodation booked Monday when it was announced he's coming. So peed off.

In desperate need for 2 tix so please keep me in mind anyone who might sell!! Not going to cancel accommodation yet as I still have a bit of hope.
