Bruce Springsteen faces growing criticism over sky-high ticket prices for anti-Trump democracy tour launch ($1k nosebleed - $7k floor)
Fox News ^ | 3/08/26 | Christina Dugan Ramirez

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.

I’ve always had floor seats (26 concerts of his)

How bad was his crime to deserve this?

Now that we know what Springsteen is, we can haggle over price.

Back in the 80’s friends would camp overnight at Ticketron to see this clown.
Back then a ticket might have been 20-30 bucks.
You couldn’t pay me then or now to see this guy..

Gimme Your Money, Please (with a few wee tweaks) —Bachman-Turner Overdrive

I was walking on down the alley
When a face I’ve never seen
Came up from so deep in the darkness
And his mouth came on real mean
And I saw that he’d been liquored
And he staggered up to, you know, he staggered up to his feet
And he said, “Boy, you’d better move real slow
And gimme your money, please”
He said, “Gimme your money, please”

Wasn’t that Bruce?
Wasn’t that Bruce Sprinsteen?
Wasn’t that Bruce?
Wasn’t that Bruce Springsteen?
He said, “Gimme your money, please”
He said, “Gimme your money, please”

Being born and raised in ‘Jersey
There ain’t nothing you won’t see
‘Cause the streets are filled with bad goings-on
And you know that’s no place to be
But my car broke down in the evening
You know it just stopped stone cold
Stopped stone cold in the street
And a dirty mean man with a guitar in his hand
He said, “Gimme your money, please”
He said, “Gimme your money, please”

Wasn’t that Bruce?
Wasn’t that Bruce Springsteen?
Wasn’t that Bruce?
Wasn’t that Bruce Springsteen?
He said, “Gimme your money, please”
He said, “Gimme your money, please”

Being born and raised in Jersey
There ain’t nothing you won’t see
‘Cause the streets are filled with bad goings-on
And you know that’s no place to be
But my car broke down in the evening
You know it just stopped stone cold
Stopped stone cold in the street
And a dirty mean man with the E-Street Gang
He said, “Gimme your money, please”
He said, “Gimme your money, please”

Wasn’t that Bruce?
Wasn’t that Bruce Springsteen?
Wasn’t that Bruce?
Wasn’t that Bruce Springsteen?
He said, “Gimme your money, please”
He said, “Gimme your money, please”

Many years ago I had the misfortune of being invited to a Springsteen concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Courtesy of my company's insurance provider in their executive suite, catered with goodies.

It was the most God awful concert I had ever attended, made worse because the suite was in direct line of the suspended, overhead speakers..

I should have filed a workers comp suit for loss of hearing.......
