Had a wonderful night on Saturday. Took my wife to her first Bruce Springsteen show in Greensboro. It was my 20th. He and the E-Street Band continue to defy age. What an amazing show! Where does he get the energy at 73? Unreal.

I last saw him t Mohegan Sun in 2013. Faith hasn't so we are going to Wrigley in August. We looked at Boston Garden but wheelchair seats were listed at $1000. Since you have to check a box on ticketmaster. saying you are handicapped to buy them someone needs to be prosecuted.

Ticketmaster doesn’t set ticket prices. The Act playing does.

Ticketmaster doesn’t set ticket prices. The Act playing does. I have no problem with the original value. or even buying and selling a commodity. But ticketmaster allows resellers to buy and sellt hrough them like Stu Hub. But to pose as handicapped to gouge people who need to buy the 20 seats reserved out of 20,000 the authorities need to bring charges on the scalpers.

No curbs on the secondary market.

No curbs on the secondary market. The seats were not floor level. They were balcony. a hundred bucks or so going for as much as $1500 an hour after the public sale. People like us have no earning ability and are on fixed incomes at best( I got screwed by the social security system) The other thing is if you are not handicapped you don't belong there. I was at an event in Providence where a family of 6 saw seats a half hour before a show decided to turn it into a playground. When the ushers asked the walking advertisements for birth control to leave 1 10 year old decided I was a trampoline. No apologies and I ended up making a trip to the first aid station.

How did you get screwed by the social security system? My sister was a teacher and got hit by the Windfall Elimination Provision.

How did you get screwed by the social security system? My sister was a teacher and got hit by the Windfall Elimination Provision. After you turn 40 they deduct points if you don't work full time. When you go below the required level you have to work to build points back up. I had a business where i was walking and climbing when an auto mechanic messed up a brake job and caused my car to flip on the highway at 55 mph. My knee smashed against the steering column in 98. SS agreed and said I could work a sedentary job. I contacted rehab places for training and they said they would train me to bag groceries at price chopper. I have never seen anyone do that sitting down. As I worked part time my knee improved slowly. In feb 2017. I was assaulted by a road rage 21 year old. It was no accident. she ran car at me 3 times . My spine is ruined. ss says I need to work 40 credis (10 years) to qualify for disabilty. I'm 64. I managed tp pay my bills and taxesby hooking up with a good financial planner. But the dirty crooked city I live in is trying to steal my home by sending twenty somethings to my house to file phony reports taking me to court before a corrupt judge claiming It is a mess because I cant bend down reach drawers or cabinets. Hence stuff gets left on tables and chairs. They showed up at my house asked to come in and had hidden cameras and took pictures of me in my underwear. then doctored them to bring charges in front of a racist judge. I am currently selling to a flipper and closing on a home in a trailer park in the midwest. I am waiting for results of an arbitration hearing with the crooks at Liberty Mutual Theft. I had on Tuesday from the assault. The second idiot lawyer cancelled a court trial in November and now that the woman finally appeared and gave enough info to convict herself 6 years passed in february and the statute of limitations ran out . he let a lunatic continue to drive on our streets so not to lose his commision. if I walked into a courtroom people could see how f'ed up I am but the idiot arranged to meet on zoom so all she saw was my face.

I've seen him a half dozen times. Love the shows but not spending the money. True story. My in-laws lived in Freehold. Their back yards were adjacent. Bruce would play his guitar on the back porch and practice.

Don't know if it is still this way but, years ago, my daughter worked at a Record Bar and she ran the Ticketmaster in there. She used to get front row tickets at face value on the mornings of concert days because of the comps that got turned in. I saw quite a few primo shows that way when, night before, only nosebleed seats were available.

His prices are high. He sells out arenas in 5 minutes. And he is a billionaire. The system allows people to buy and resell at crazy prices . it needs to be changed so everyone has a chance without having to mortgage their house.

Happy Birthday (late) Massy...just my opinion, but people should just stop paying stupid ticket prices if they want to see the price come down. Same thing for sporting events. Supply and demand. It's simple economics.

Just for the record, I paid nothing for my seats. I won them off the radio.
