Garth Brooks' take on dynamic pricing, from an interview with Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
What are your thoughts about the use of dynamic pricing on tickets? [Dynamic pricing, where the price of tickets for a show fluctuates depending on the demand for tickets, is being used by Ticketmaster ostensibly to prevent scalping, but has basically just made itself the scalper.]
GB: That’s a tough one. [Bruce] Springsteen is going through it right now. We’re all watching it. Here’s the bottom line for me, and I know this is silly, but I have screamed and screamed as long as you’ve known me: just knock out scalping. That’s it. Just make it illegal. That way, the price of the ticket is the price of the ticket. The same money is going to be exchanged when scalping tickets, it’s just now who gets the money, that’s the difference. The thing I hate about it, the hardest it’s on is the fan, the one who allows you to live your dream.
But if you go play Vegas, you do a residency, you’re going to do dynamic pricing. It’s going to be tough, so residencies are hard, but they always are because of the limited amount of seating anyway.

From Broadway Bruce to Soul Man Bruce?
Okay.
To blow off steam over his ticket price increases, over on BTX I've enjoyed using the "Tour Name?" thread, which quickly turned into parodies, with my own suggestions for tour names.
The guy set himself up for the blowback he's gotten, with all his decades of his bard of the common man stuff.
While the below certainly includes overkill -- the Stones rip us off too, as does Macca, etc etc -- like I say, Bruce set himself up with all his Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger posing. And, I find parody snarking fun. So, some of my 2023 tour name suggestions:
The We Take Care Of Our Own Fortune Tour
The River of Benjamins Tour
The What, You Believed All My Bullshit? Tour
The Ride Ain't Free (smirk) Tour
The Greasey Lake Tour

As we mentioned on the last episode about rumblings of a new
@springsteen release, those rumblings have gotten much louder and we expect Bruce to release a soul covers record this fall. A small number of shows to promote it are also expected. Count us as intrigued

The now ever present scandal of ticket pricing is always going to look a lot worse in connection with the biggest icon of "Blue collar Rock and Roll".
You'd think he might have made some comment ..
Maybe too embarrassed to know just what to say ?
[Nicer I suppose to think that than to believe he's a big "sell out" and doesn't give a sh*t ]

What can he say?
The only comment Bruce's camp has made on this matter was what Jon Landau Management said back in July.

The silence means he condones this and was designed by him and his management .Quote
