    Pricey. And the RDS too..probably the worst venue i have seen him in. Will still go if i can get a ticket, the price might put a lot of people off...but may become a potential Christmas present.

    I was hoping for Slane, guess that's not happening next year. :(
    Aviva wasn't an option or?

    I'm disappointed it's in the RDS yet again. Every other city, he plays one big stadium gig. Sure, because it's a small arena (in relative terms), it means we usually get multiple shows (three on the Magic tour, two for Working on a Dream), but I would have preferred Croke Park or the Aviva this time around.

    I am a bit confused as to why I was told Croke Park by my source who was adamant. I doubt that a Tuesday night will be the only gig announced, more to follow I think.

    The second show more than compensated for the first night.

    The ticket price is 25c cheaper than the last RDS shows in 2009, and yes they are very expensive, but even being very expensive you at least get your moneys worth with Bruce......

    as for the venue - well I have the same issues as others with the RDS, but I'd much prefer it than Slane and both the Aviva and Croker have similar sound problems, so I'll live with it.....would have been nice for him to do a bit of a residency in the O2

    Only went on Saturday. Started out wet but brightened up around half way through and it was a brilliant show. Think the weather actually added to it.

    The Sunday show, by all accounts, was legendary. Was bulling I missed it. Won't make that mistake again.

    At 86 quid I'm a lot more tempted by Hard Rock Calling now if I can get a ticket, on sale on Saturday so if I miss out then I can have this as a backup.

    Worst night of the week and worst venue of all those rumoured.. annoying.

    Anyone know if there is going to be a second night? I would prefer Wednesday, I wish they'd just announce two instead of this "by phenomenal demand" stuff.. can't take the chance on a gamble though so if I don't know by next Thursday morning I'll have a ticket for the Tuesday either way

    Any of you with a ufirst account with Ulster Bank can save 25% off the tickets if you're that worried about cost! Link

    Any idea what the German tickets are likely to cost? And will he be touring thru the US at all?

    My guess is 55 to 65 euros. Tickets for sale in 48 hours.

    Cheers Lola, is there a general date when the European tickets go on sale?. On brucespringsteen.net there is still only the UK dates listed. Might make a weekend away of it. Wonder if he'd sell out in German as quickly as the RDS. No mention as yet on the german version of ticketmaster.

    Fukin RDS AGAIN? This will be the 6th and likely 7th time he plays the RDS in a row. It's getting like U2 and Croke Park at this stage. The predictability is becoming annoying. The issue of the price is causing a lot of negativity, and was among the headlines of the news on Newstalk Lunchtime and will be discussed shortly. Someone need to tell The Boss, that there is a huge difference with regard to the economy here compared to 08/09. The country is in receivership and it's really taking the piss to be charging us 25 quid more than the UK and other European countries. During the boom it was somewhat acceptable but to still be doing it really is frustrating. I mean at least hold the gig in a better venue like Croker or Landsdown to justify the prices.

    I'll still be going obviously as Bruce is the best live performer on the planet in my view having seem loads of legends live who charge a lot such as Clapton, Elton, Rod, Macca etc - Bruce is without question worth it considering the epic show he puts on. My only issue is us being charged so much more than the UK when there is no longer an excuse, and the venue being a kip. I can see from Bruce's point of view though - he's going to sell out regardless where it is and the RDS would be a hell of a lot cheaper to hire for a gig than Croker and Landsdown. It's just a shame that he is'nt branching out and playing Slane this year though.

    1st point: You don't have to go if you don't want to. 2nd point: Slane is a kip - the venue, not the village. Also, you complain about it, but still say you're going to go??? :confused: Seems a bit contradictory imo.....?

    Well, in that link in my previous post it says the first tickets go on sale in 48 hours (Germany). That's all I know for now but nothing officially yet.
    Milan tickets, on the other hand, going on sale today at 4 pm (eastern european time). Florence and Trieste on December 1st.
