Thank fuck for that. The less of those ego-trippers at shows the better (present company excepted as youre a real fan).

Its called equality. Apparently he doesnt believe in one section of his fanbase getting priority over the rest (in this case, based on wealth). Much fairer system, although personally I wish he did have some kind of fan club package (NOT like the Stones/Fan Asylum rip offs, which are a disgrace) which would cut down on some of the scalping and e-bay crap.

He's taken measures against that on previous tours, but on the last 2 ESB tours, its been GA on the floor so the issue of scalpers and brokers buying up front row floor seats doesnt really arise

and the problem with being fan friendly for a rock n roll audience is what, exactly?

Tickets for the US shows are $99. I think the Giants Stadium shows announced today also have some cheaper ones. Its funny reading on the Springsteen sites people complaining about how much his prices have gone up in recent years! LOL

Springsteen is worth like 200 million plus, so it's time to start realizing his audience is very affluent

Pearl Jam does the same thing, which to a point I like, but also I dislike that I usually end up in the first ten rows next to someone who inevitably vomits on himself.

You used to be my party doll
But now you say the partys over
You used to love to honky tonk
But now the honky tonkings over
Now life is a bitter thing, my sweet
Now life is a mystery to me
Loves pain, I aint buying
Loves strange. I keep trying, trying, trying

You used to be my party doll
But now you want to live in clover
You used to be my number one
But now those salad days are over

Times change but fascination stays
Love wins but the passion just fades
Ill drink to the dancing days
Ill drink to your crazy ways
Through the whiskey haze

Face the music, face the truth
Chase that fleet sweet bird of youth
Grow up sweetly, grow up strong
Hear the heartbeat, in my song

Loves pain, I aint buying
Loves strange. I keep trying, trying, trying

You used to be my party doll
But now you say the partys over
You used to love to honky tonk
But now those dancing days are over
You used to be my number one
But now you vanished in the ozone
