Concert ticket prices…

Thought I’d treat myself to Bruce Springsteen concert tickets for the upcoming show in April til I saw the price for 2 tickets. Almost $2k for upper mezzanine 😞. Everything is becoming so unattainable.

Is that the venue or Springsteen's management charging so much though?

They'll end up wondering why they have dwindling audiences if they carry on like that.....

Upper circle. I have never really understood the attraction of circle seats, because they are so far from and so high above, the stage. Boxes are even worse, giving a very strange viewing angle from well away to the sides of the auditorium. That whether for a music or drama performance.

@ArishMell it was thru ticketmaster. Anything below mezzanine was $5-8k for 2 tickets! I have to think that these prices are approved by the artists.

@WhereGraceBegins I must admit I'd not trust an agency not to put on massive middle-men fees; and would ask why the venue is not selling tickets directly. Or if it does, what it charges for the same seats.

The artists might not have much say in the matter, but I don't know if that is the case here.
