Bruce Springsteen fans outraged over his up to $3K…
His “Glory Days” with some fans have handed him by.
Bruce Springsteen’s fans are livid over the legendary rocker’s astronomical ticket costs for his upcoming “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour, which critics argue are unaffordable for his “working class fanbase” and contradict his Man of the People image.
The woke New Jersey billionaire is pushing the anti-President Trump “No Kings” agenda in his promoting marketing campaign for the 20-date tour with his E Street Band — but is satirically charging costs match for royalty, at up to $3,000 a ticket.
“I couldn’t be more disappointed in the Boss … how do these outrageous ticket prices reflect the land of hopes and dreams? The hopes and dreams of poor people who can’t afford your tickets,” one outraged fan commented on Springsteen’s Instagram post saying the tour.
“You are also catering to upper middle class and the rich. Isn’t that what we’re fighting?”
“No Kings tour, but priced for a king. What a dbag,” another identified.
The 76-year-old musician, who launched the anti-ICE anthem “Streets of Minneapolis” on Jan. 28, made this assertion about the politically-charged tour:
“We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! … We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream — all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C. Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome …”

Many of his 2.2 million Instagram followers noticed the hypocrisy behind his phrases, given that Springsteen and his crew selected to have his tour tickets offered as Platinum ones on Ticketmaster, which suggests the costs get greater in real-time based on demand.
“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 of his irate followers said.
“Many of us are living paycheck to paycheck and can’t afford tickets for hundreds or thousands of dollars. I thought Bruce was better than that,” another added.
Tickets went on sale at Ticketmaster on Feb. 20 for the tour — which hasn’t offered out yet — that begins on March 31 in Minneapolis and makes local stops at Madison Square Garden, UBS Arena, the Barclays Center, and the Prudential Center, before ending in Washington, D.C. on May 27.
“Ha, ha only blue cities. No one else would buy the Obama bootlicker’s tickets,” another quipped.
“You have become a friggin woke joke,” another person added.
Fans identified that the stops on his tour are left-leaning cities. X
The least expensive ticket for the Boss’ Prudential Center show on April 20 was $279.63 on Ticketmaster, as of Saturday morning.
The lowest-priced ticket at UBS Arena for the May 5 live performance was $177.31, while the most affordable at his Barclays Center gig on May 14 was $244.35.
He is also taking part in two nights at MSG — May 11 and May 16 — with the most affordable price on Ticketmaster coming in at $326.60.
Others predicted the “Born in the U.S.A.” singer will undoubtedly lose followers with this left-leaning tour, since his fanbase goes past Democrats.
“Just remember, Bruce, Republicans buy concert tickets, too. At least they did until now,” one said.
“Grew up a huge fan of Bruce, now he is an out of touch loser. I actually am tossing all my Bruce music,” another agreed.

The fact that the 20-time Grammy winner has a web price of $1.2 billion was also not misplaced on fans, who have come to the conclusion Springsteen does have a “Hungry Heart” — for cold laborious money.
“As a billionaire, he should tour for FREE,” one said, while another added, “Bruce doesn’t care about his fans. All he cares about is the money.” Others steered he give his tour earnings to charity.
Some defended the sky-high live performance costs.
“It’s a huge production … Every member of the band, all the equipment, set ups, etc.,” one argued.
“I’m not going to bash Bruce. I don’t think he’s sitting in the back after the show counting cash,” another said.
Fans took to the remark part of Springsteen’s Instagram post saying the tour to voice their complaints. X
To add insult to injury, the “Born to Run” singer has run away from the pricing controversy, ignoring feedback from fans.
Springsteen didn’t return a request for remark.
The Boss truly addressed the steep pricetags on his tickets forward of his 2023 tour, when they reached $4,000 a piece.
“I know it was unpopular with some fans,” he told Rolling Stone.
“But if there’s any complaints on the way out, you can have your money back.”
