From what I can tell that's for Springsteen on the Pre-sale for AMEX, which starts tomorrow.

I paid €135 for my golden circle in Amsterdam, you'd have to assume, this is largely dictated by BST, and not Springsteen.

I would've gone up to 135 for golden circle but not 200. Well, not twice anyway - sort of dragging the other half to this one so happy to pay, just not that amount.

Aye, Bruce's old golden circle system very much a great way to do it for the uber-faithful.

He does appear to be coin-hunting these days, but frankly, given the bang for the buck a general E Street Band show tends to deliver, can't find it in myself to get as mad as I might with other artists.

Two sides to it, I think. It makes the gold circle cheaper in terms of £ outlay, but then the queuing up for days thing can hit people in the pocket in less direct ways.

Yeah I mean, £95 is a lot but I know I'll be getting a top, top class show and often double the length of other acts.

Id imagine hes sick of seeing the same c**ts every show up front. Nasty weird fuckers queuing all night and attacking people who dare stand in front of them.

People will still do it though. Leaving shows early to go queue for the next one etc. Losers.

It’s the oddballs who spend their days teaching their  kids the lyrics to Sunny Day in the hope they’ll get lifted off their shoulders and onto the stage come showtime.

fucking hell. That's mental. I've gone over £100 for non-golden gigs circle twice, but that is the absolute upper limit and it has to be something big that I desperately want to see. That was for U2 in Singapore for standing so an absolute novelty and more than worth it, and at Twickenham for a lower tier unreserved seat - both Joshua Tree shows, and I only did the Twickenham one originally because it was good value for money to see Noel supporting too. 

Happy with the standing amount for Hyde Park as its a full day of music and he'll probably still tip 3 hours (though hopefully he comes on a tad earlier this time...), so its good value. But $400 for just one act on a standard ticket? Madness.

I feel like I'm prime to be someone who loves Bruce Springsteen.. and I do like him, but not sure where all the mass obsession to see multiple 3-hour sets comes from?! I can't even work out if it's worth me going to see him once (let alone 20 times!).. but I feel a bit of FOMO 😄

Springsteen fans are a strange bunch, they're like some sort of cult. The guy's not even that good.

Mainly as he is known to mix up the sets on different nights....and he takes requests.....so you rarely get the same show twice in a tour.

Might be his last outing so worth a look at least just the once.

A big part is that he really mixes up the set lists so catching multiple shows on the same run is worthwhile.

    • I mean I don't think EC and FFDP are borderline sub, they wouldn't be any lower now.   2025 is about as strong as Bloodstock gets yet this year only one headline would sub and the others would play 3rd down or lower.    Machine Head wouldn't sub at Download regardless of rarity, they don't sell enough tickets and I'm not sure Gojira would sub either. Their last UK tour was a mix of smaller arenas and academy dates. Ally Pally being the only London date, not even Wembley Arena. 
    • live music / main stage will generally end around 11pm but theres dj’s and late goings on right till 4am if you are so inclined.   Drinks are about £7.50 a pint probably and yes theres lots of mixed drinks / spirits / cocktails available to buy   wonderful festival, back for my third year in a row and 4th overall
    • If anyone sees Lakefest this weekend on any sites please post here, I’ve got alerts set. Been on TFG in recent years and not sold out yet.
