Fastest internet speed going, I have never ever failed to get a ticket for anything that I was looking to go to. At 9 on the dot there was no tickets available. I got onto the queue to be told there was none available. Something very very fishy. Looks like a corporate gig. :mad: Im surprised at Springsteen.

its not.but there was something very strange going on alright. Queued from just before 6am in sligo and was first in line. still nervous that i wouldnt get any. 8.57am thinking it was minutes away the tickets started printing out. They were released three minutes early[ which is a disgrace], got my tickets. as did i think everyone else who was queuing [only 14 people, but even those who turned up at 8.45am yesterday got them as far as i know]. thus it sold out in "record time" and everyone who was clicking refresh at 8.59am didnt have much hope. i have little sympathy for people who rely on buying them online. If you want them you make sure you are first in line!. Ticketmaster is a joke though, we were just lucky. touts who bought them online are now selling them for at least €200 each sicken me. People will pay it[ i would if i didnt get them] and its exploitation that should have been stamped out a long time ago.

My own fault should have really refreshed the page a couple of mins before 9. :mad: Ah well, heard the album last night and not impressed with it. But his shows are much better than just listening to his albums. I'm staying in Belfast that night so I might go to the Odyssey to see of there is any tickets going before the gig at a reasonable price.

In the 80's Bruce was the most uncool act to like, all the bogmen with their fists pumping the air for "Born in the USA" . Everyone laughed at Bruuuce! fans What year did he become cool?

Nah, headbands, sleeveless lumberjack shirts and echo-drenched snare drum sing alongs = very uncool. I think you must have been brain-washed by your daddy.

Was of the same opinion until I saw him live. The best live act I have seen and I have seen a range of cracker shows in my time from The Buzzcocks, Muse ,Radiohead, Rage against the Machine, James, Dave Matthews Band and ............the Dixie Chicks :o:D They are all in my top 10 shows but Springsteen's shows are in a class of its own.
