Two weeks after announcing the launch of his "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour," Bruce Springsteen is catching some heat as fans are left outraged over astronomical ticket prices.
"If this concert is meant to be a political statement, dynamic pricing makes no sense... It feels contradictory to defend democracy while playing by pure free-market rules where money decides everything," one fan wrote on Springteen's Instagram post. "Big fan and I’m in for a reasonable price, but I can’t help thinking about those who can’t play this game."
"Unfortunately no one can afford to actually go.....," another wrote.
"It’s so sad for anyone that’s a huge fan of yours and wants so very badly to see you in concert @springsteen but just can’t afford these ticket prices ! Especially now when the economy is so bad," another added. "I thought that you if anyone would really understand what I’m saying because you yourself talk about making this world more affordable to live in."
"$1000 for upper seats," a longtime fan commented. "Really he was the one fighting this and now you cannot get tickets at a decent price. I’ve always had floor seats (26 concerts of his) and now floor seats are $7k. I don’t think I’m using a mortgage payment on seats."
Representatives for Springsteen did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

LOL. How stupid - or deranged- would you have to be to fork out that kind of money to this old POS? Gotta keep that daughter of his in the finest of equestrian gear!
“Born in the USSR!”
Money for nothin’
And your chicks for free
Workingman? Performing for the wealthiest. Woody Guthrie would be so proud.
Springsteen is a slob. He loves those big bucks.
I wouldn’t pay a dime for a Springsteen ticket.
Just a workin’ class boy from Asbury Park.
Stinking hypocrite.
Even Courteney Cox wouldn’t pay for that.
Communism in America coming to aging rock fans. Wonderful.
I wouldn’t pay those prices without the k’s.
Trash day is tomorrow in my neighborhood. If anyone wants to watch garbage come on by….. for free!!!!!
Never really liked Springsteen. But political issues had nothing to do with it.
Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen are the MOST overrated performers in history.
I completely agree. Been there Done that. moving on.
He’s released one song in his career that I find slightly entertaining. I wouldn’t walk across the street to see him...let alone pay $1,000.
Without the k’s is what I paid to see him in 1976. Seven bucks.
You’re right about Springsteen. You may not like Dylan’s voice but his influence on song writing and music is immense.
They couldn’t pay me to see him.
I couldn’t stand him in the 80’s, can’t stand him now.
