Yeah Thanks Von for this one..u know and this story was for Tom Petty yet? Crazy isn't it? SO SO SO SO true!!!!!!!!! and so so so so SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope Cher is looking at the shirt (and book)Dave gave to her w/your site Susan and is reading this article too..Springsteeen rocks man like u said Gabrielle..he totally gets it huh? PS: see and in the NY area this is what it's like..cos in Long Island especially tons of outlets of ticketmaster here and Cher is NOT NOT NOT popular here this is not Manhattan..this is the island..we're always FIRST in line and get CRAP like 3rd level so I totally relate to this guy! Bigtime and see how when he couldn't get up close how first and close rows were sky high thru brokers..crazy..don't get how brokers are legal I really don't

I was thinking the same thing...this guy couldn't even get tickets to Tom Petty for gosh sake!!! I have asked myself over and over too Jan, how can brokers be legal? And this crap about not being able to sell them for more than they are worth...yeah, right...what planet are they living on!! Bruce Springsteen is way cool to notice what is going on and at least try to do something to fix the problem even if it is an inconvinence to get your ticket...like standing in line and then getting crap isn't! I do think that fan clubs and radio stations should get some tickets for the show...but than those tickets should be used by the FAN CLUB MEMBERS...BUT WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT GOES RIGHT!!! DEE

Oh forget if u knew my friends Dee who follow Celine Dion and Bon Jovi and Kiss u would die what they get thru fan clubs ! Just amazing Dee u have no idea..never once have they EVER camped out overnite for tkts all to get crap..Never once have ANY of them paid above base price..never once put up w/any crap NEVER ever..they cannot believe how bankrupt and frustrating it is for me over the Cher thing and although they all hate Cher here in LI they feel for me cos they know how much it means to me!!!!!! Awful:( Sad isn't it..? I know I totally commend Springsteen man...!!!!!! Awesome! Always loved that boy! I'd still have all my Cher / Sonny and Cher shrine if this was all Celine Dion my friend told me!

WOW! I feel really lucky and blessed that we were able to get some good seats for many Farewell shows here in New England at the window on the day of sale for base price... anywhere from 12th row to 3rd row.... quite a few times! We must have had angels on our shoulders or something.

Ur very lucky Michael buddy..that just does NOT happen here in NY not even at box office and many times here they only sell em DAY after tkts on sale on ticketmaster..hate that! ALL reserved here in the BIG apple for the first 5 usually sometimes 1st 10..like Jones Beach and MSG and stuff..sucks! A lot..it's the press here..the radio..bigwigs..and ppl who think they're bigwigs U know the deal w/that one babe! Really sucks..I always said it's the one major disadvantage of living in the NYC area but honestly I love my town and don't think I could live outside it..but when there's a cher tour around I regret it cos I see what NON New Yorkers get..although Di recently could not get for Chicago and Vonni is midwest and went thru hell for Council Bluffs was ALL fixed like NY ..interesting..either way brokers suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and put everyone in debts..too bad Cher is not aware of all this..shame..really is..I agree w/Gaby it's nice Springsteen is aware his fans get screwed in this case..u should see what the Stones tickets are here..unfrigginbelievable! If I thought a close seat for CHER was bad..eek

I tried to get tickets for the chicago show and I could not believe what they wanted for far back tickets! You know me, Jan, I will settle for a cheaper seat farther back but the prices on those were outragious! Had to say in that respect I was happy the show was ending because I don't think I could have afford to seat even in the back! DEE

Yeah..that really sucked Janet...I couldn't believe I wasn't at Chicago....or Council Bluffs...and I should have been...but ticket prices were way out of my league as you well know..they were at NY prices!! So I feel for you..that was horrible...but Thank God we had a place with ETERNAL SUNSHINE to go to while she played...helped ease the sting!
