Kid Rock Shows How It’s Done as Outraged Fans Complain about Bruce Springsteen’s Ticket Prices

Fans are furious over the high price of tickets for Bruce Springsteen’s latest tour.

Seats for the “woke” New Jersey rocker’s coming concerts jumped to $4,000 due to Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing program.”

The soaring prices didn’t go down well with fans who let Springsteen have it on social media.

“Gotta get a 2nd mortgage to get a ticket,” one fan said.

“Waiting for the quote on selling my kidney to get nosebleed seats,” another added.

According to KHOU: “Ticket broker Kayla Ramsey with Midtown Premium Tickets said primary sellers like Ticketmaster and AXS are now doing exactly what ticket brokers do.”

“Many of these tickets are being priced on the primary market the same way scalpers price it on the secondary market, based on supply and demand,” said John Breyault of the National Consumers League.

“That means prices can change from minute to minute.

“Shoppers reported selecting $250 tickets only to see them climb to $700 by the time they checked out. Some tickets got up to $4,000 to $5,000,” KHOU reported.

“I don’t want to break you by coming to see me.

“I want to make as much money as I can, but I don’t need to drive around in a tinted-down Rolls-Royce or Maybach and hide from people because I felt like I ripped them off.

“If you give people a fair price, I think they’ll feel better about spending their money.

“They might spend just as much because they don’t feel like someone is trying to get one over on them.”

Kid Rock also tries to reserve the first two rows for die-hard fans only

“They are not for sale,” Rock declared.

“I’m tired of seeing the old rich guy in the front row with the hot girlfriend.

“And the hot girlfriend, you know, with her boobs hanging out, with her beer in the air, just screaming the whole time.

“The old rich guy is standing there like he couldn’t care less.

“It’s a very common theme at Kid Rock concerts,” he said.
