I’m a huge Springsteen fan. I really have no interest in seeing him in concert at this point. But enjoy the show!
I think tickets were available for a relatively cheap price for tonight’s show.

From 73 to 78, I was a Jazz club member and concert committee stage crew volunteer. I worked most of the concerts. Saw stringebean twice in Eisenhower Auditorium. Helped Bonnie Rait get seated on her stool, she was enjoying her bottle of Jack. Spent time in dressing room with Charlie Hayden, Dewey Redman, Keith Jarrett, and McCoy Tyner at Schwab. Concert Committee was an awesome extracurricular activity.
Tix ranged from $ 150.00 to over $ 1000.00. Tgar dropped $ 440.00 for two at the bottom of the lower upper deck. As someone mentioned, there were some expensive tixs available when doors opened.
Apparently, Springsteen bought up those seats and had ushers hand out upgrades to those of us in the cheap seats as we walked in. Yes, we sat in the club section, first level off the stage. A very nice treat from the Boss. Tgar was already up the escalator when he realized he was being yelled at to turn around.
From our vantage point, the upper bowl where our seats were originally was full.

Springsteen played in Eisenhower Auditorium in the mid 70s and they oversold the arena.
People were sitting in the aisles.
A friend invited me to the concert in 1975 as she was holding an extra ticket, didn't cost me a cent.. Nice night. Full house, everyone had fun.
