^^I REALLY want to consider the 10/27 show...cuz it's on my birthday and it's a Saturday! Pittsburgh is 4.5 hrs away from MD where I go to school, but that drive is nothing new for me since it's around a 4.5 hour drive (on the short side) back home to NY! I hope logistics play out! :)

Hope you get to go! KC is about 8 hours from Dallas and that show is the day after the San Antonio Eddie show I was planning to go to so I would have to give up that for Bruce. I've seen Eddie 3 times already though and Bruce only once so it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I wonder if he will add a Texas show or two after the Arizona date. There's still room for it on the schedule.

Thanks! Would be a hell of a way to ring in 20. Hopefully everything works out for you, too! Good news is whether you pick Bruce or Eddie, it should be an incredible show!

Yep... I'm all over the Hartford tix when they go on sale. I still think he'll announce a series of additional MSG dates, too.

It wouldn't be a problem for me if I didn't have work at the time they go on sale.

I'll probably be working, too... with no internet access. But ticket drops a few days before the show are almost a guarantee and thats what I'll be banking on -- they're usually the best seats in the house to boot.

I actually got a pair of GA's for the April show in Albany from stubhub for face value, so I'll keep an eye on that, too.

good luck with the tickets fellas.

i'll be at least 1 Giants Stadium ( MetLife---whatever )

check rthis out from Helsinki Finlands show-
Bruce played an acoustic 5 songs set in the pit

When I arrived today at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, I didn’t expect to see a great five song acoustic set. Although there was no scheduled soundcheck, Bruce came out on stage at 6:15 pm, shortly after arriving. I assumed he was going up to check out the stage, and at first he really was, but minutes later, I heard the speakers come on and Bruce began to riff and sing “I’ll Work for Your Love.” I realized that Bruce, coming to the venue after two days away from the stage, could not suppress his desire to connect with us from the microphone. It was clear as the set progressed through “Leap of Faith” and “No Surrender” that this wasn’t Bruce warming up. He was hitting every note, and his voice was clarion clear. Closing out the set with “For You” and “Blinded by the Light,” Bruce made it clear that there was something else he had come out to do. At the end of “Blinded,” he climbed down to the audience, and he began a ten minute run of the barrier. Shaking a series of hands (and occasionally getting a peck on the cheek from young Helsinki women), he collected cardboard signs which would occupy his dressing room as he composed the set list. Each time he climbed the risers on his way to the left or right, completing a full lap of the stage, the crowd would erupt in a cheer, likewise when a young pink-haired fan gave him a hug, before he received her written request. Afterward he came back to the microphone to say, “Thanks to all you regulars and thanks for making it a lovely summer for us, and we’ll see you in a little while!” Huge applause. So don’t ever ask me what to expect at a Bruce concert, other than a great time and a great show, because there’s no way to know.

Doubtful I can swing Springsteen in Pittsburgh on my birthday now that I bought Made In America tix. But here's to hoping! If anything, maybe I'll try for a cheap ticket close to day of when they come to DC :)
