Still waiting on some half-assed, non-answer from blue collar Bruce. He doesn’t care, if he did, he could sell all tickets for $99 like Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam and Garth Brooks. It can be done, if it’s a priority.

TheGreekI know and you are dead 1000% right , but this was and is a personal journey that I must complete from the last time in 2016 which I attended the Bruce and the E Street Band show (same venue ) and now this will come full circle . This is a cathartic and healing process for me . The best way to describe this without divulging personal details would be to say I fell down and now I will get up and resume the journey .Quote

The fact that you'd go anywhere near $500 face is the problem right there by the way.
Good on ya
I didn't get the verified option.. saved some $$ perhaps as I know I would have picked up a couple tix.. now not likely to.
What venue?

Ticketmaster's so called "dynamic pricing" is leaving some fans out in the street!
There have been numerous occasions in which Ticketmaster has faced legal action for its methods, musicians accusing the company of employing underhand tactics to tighten its grip on the market in a way that can only be described as corporate greed. However, many were only alerted to what is perhaps their most unscrupulous tactic last week when the issue of their “dynamic pricing” was brought to the fore yet again by social media.

It's a partnership between the Artist and the Venue/ promoter . They are all in bed together to squeeze the scalper as Ticketmaster along with the Artist scalp there own tickets in real time as they are released and put on sale . None of this is done without the CONSENT of the Artist , who gets the highest percentage of the funds .
Please explain ?Quote

Yep - "the boss" is a complete phony.

A common man ? A long time ago in a distant far away galaxy . Today he is friends with President Obama , has had a long running show on Broadway (those tickets were not cheap either ) I certainly am not defending him in any way at all .

Years ago, he was a "common man".
Last year he was a cowboy.
What will he be this year?

...or wait it out and see if the prices (including resale prices) drop closer to show day. Playing the long game might not be a bad idea if you get shut out on day one.
Day one of ticket sales is sometimes amateur night.
