Today’s ticket sale was frentic. If you had a code, buying was very easy. Many fans, however, never got a code and were left on «standby». Despite Ticketmaster’s VerifiedTickets system, quite an amount of tickets showed up on the secondary market, with scalpers asking up to $9,900 for a single ticket.

The surprise has come when Ticketmaster has announced the Springsteen of Broadway series is expanding through February 8th, 2018, so many more fans will now have a chance to see Bruce in an intimate setting.

Ticketmaster is expected to announce the new dates later today. Check out their website or Twittter account.

It is an absolute honor and privilege to perform for them at the Closing Ceremony as a send-off to a week of competition in Toronto.»

 

We’re gonna boogaloo down Broadway… Springsteen confirms acoustic concert series

News /

«Springsteen on Broadway» is the name for a series of concerts that will take place at New York’s Walter Kerr Theatre from October 3rd to November 26th (official opening is Oct.12th, with preview shows since Oct. 3rd). The two-hour acoustic show will feature Bruce alone with his guitar and piano.

“I wanted to do some shows that were as personal and as intimate as possible. I chose Broadway for this project because it has the beautiful old theaters which seemed like the right setting for what I have in mind. In fact, with one or two exceptions, the 960 seats of the Walter Kerr Theatre is probably the smallest venue I’ve played in the last 40 years. My show is just me, the guitar, the piano and the words and music. Some of the show is spoken, some of it is sung. It loosely follows the arc of my life and my work. All of it together is in pursuit of my constant goal to provide an entertaining evening and to communicate something of value,” says Springsteen.

Show dates are:

OCTOBER
3-7, 10-11 (preview shows)
12 (Official opening)
13-14, 17-21, 24-28, 31

NOVEMBER
1-4, 7-11, 14-18, 21-22 & 24-26
