Ticketmaster Addresses Bruce Springsteen Ticket Price Controversy

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter

Ticketmaster has addressed the pricing structure controversy around tickets for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s 2023 U.S. Tour that has led to some tickets being priced upwards of $5,000.

As reported by multiple outlets — including Variety and Asbury Park Press — the ticketing giant clarified the going price for most of the tickets being sold stating the average ticket price for Springsteen’s tour was $202 with the pricing range running from $59.50 to $399 before fees. About 88% of the tickets sold fall under this pricing.

As for the outrageously expensive tickets that led to all of the backlash, Ticketmaster says 11.8% of tickets fell under their “dynamic pricing” program where pricing fluctuates based on ticket demand, and only 1.3% of those tickets sold for over $1,000.

Neither Springsteen nor anyone from his camp has yet to comment about this issue.

    When @CrowdedHouseHQ learned about “in-demand” and “premium” tickets being sold for their recent tour, they acted. Over to you, @springsteen! 🎟 https://t.co/N0u06xEJo5

    £442 for a Bruce Springsteen ticket? "Dynamic pricing" is disgusting. @Ticketmaster, @LiveNationUK et al should all be boycotted until they stop this nonsense. pic.twitter.com/gwwkRiwcxn

    Bruce Springsteen sold his catalogue for $550m which curiously makes him the only person who can afford tickets to his own shows.

    bruce springsteen should write a song about a working man refinancing his car and home to purchase bruce springsteen tickets.

    "i got a sixty-nine chevy
    with a three-ninety-six
    fuelie heads
    and a hurst on the floor
    i had to sell it to go see the Boss at the Wells-Fargo Center"

    Seeing the prices of Bruce Springsteen tickets on this tour I’m actually offended. Upper deck seats for $200-300 each. $450-525 for lower level seats and $1k plus for floor seats. Our liberal hero is behaving like a Republican. $3-5 million dollars for a night in St Paul???
