Doubtful. I would guess an hour and 45-2 hours. Anything over would be very surprising for them, simply because of age I would think. Unless there's an intermission or something so they could take a break. I think the pricing is just because they can milk it, not because it'll be a longer show.

I'm guessing it will run 1.5 - 1.75 hours with 17 songs.

Ummm No. Probably 18 songs 1:45 hours or less....

And Springsteen level setlist variation. Imagine how many songs could be played if each of the 4 shows was 3 hours and there were only like 6 songs that appeared at each one.

They'd call for ten hour shows at those prices.

If you think youre getting exceptionally long shows, dream on.

I'm not sure I'd want to sit through about 20 hours of material to justify the price of the ticket. Would there be pee breaks?

"Would there be pee breaks?"

The audience isnt getting any younger. The VIP package really should include a commode as the laughably-titled 'complimentary gift'

They'd just extend the set to allow the Corporate Fans to spend more at the Champagne bar....

Problem with Springsteen shows is that he sings Springsteen songs....no comparison to The Rolling Stones singing Rolling Stones songs"

They're not getting any younger. I think they will do as little as they think they'll get away with, my guess being 1.45.

That is a funny quote and I am in complete agreement, so what if you get 3 hours of Bruuuuce. However, before Gazza and all the others Springsteen fans jump - Bruce does provide a great value for HIS fans - I am not one. I do recognize value and if you are a fan of the Boss - his concerts are a bargain.

bs
wont be longer than 90 minutes.
then they run and count their f... money they made from the fans

It's not a longer show but the price paid per song based on the ticket prices(excluding ticketmaster fees). The price range goes from $4.75 to $37.50 with a 20 song setlist.

Granted in 5 years costs have risen but if this becomes Licks part 2 and they play Gloom and Doom and maybe 2 other rare songs think about what it's costing just to hear those songs.
