bruce springsteen 2023 tour dates

Boomers and Gen X, time to get on up and out for the boss! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have announced additional North American tour dates in 18 cities! Fans who would like to attend one of the newly announced show will need to register for ticket access through Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan program. Registration closes on Sunday, February 19th @ 11:59pm ET.

Springsteen’s newly-added shows will kick off with a performance at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, all the way through December 8 at San Francisco’s Chase Center. Multiple nights of Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have been scheduled for Los Angeles’ Kia Forum (December 4 and 6), along with Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium and Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena .

How To Get Bruce Springsteen Tickets


For many cities, the Bruce Springsteen tour will be using Verified Fan via Ticketmaster. Verified Fan is intended to make it easier for fans to get tickets, and harder for resellers and bots. Ever since the whole Taylor Swift fiasco, Verified Fan has made some major improvements that worked well with the Beyonce Renaissance Tour.

Basically, if you wanna see the boss, you gotta register now. The process takes less than a minute and is open now through Sunday February 19 at 11:59pm ET.

Once you have completed Verified Fan registration, you will receive a confirmation email confirming they’ve received you registration.

Please note: registration does not guarantee tickets! As with most concerts with Verified Fan registration, there will be more demand than there are tickets available. A lottery-style process will determine which registered Verified Fans will receive a unique access code and which will be put on the waitlist.

When Will I Receive The Bruce Springsteen Presale Code?


On the evening of Tuesday, February 21st, you’ll receive an email confirming whether you’ve been selected to participate in the Verified Fan Onsale according to the shows you selected during your registration process.

If you are selected, you will also receive a text with your personal access code the evening before your show goes on sale.

While “sharing is caring,” that trope goes out the window here. DO NOT share this access code as it is unique. If you share it with someone, you WILL lose your opportunity to buy Springsteen tickets.

When Do Bruce Springsteen Tickets Go On Sale?


Tickets for the newly added Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band concerts will go on sale over the course of the next two weeks depending on your city.

Starting Friday, February 17 at 10am CT, tickets will begin to go on sale in select venues for cities that don’t require Verified Fan (Chicago and Philadelphia). You can see the exact on sale time for your selected city below.

Beginning Wednesday, February 22 at 10am PT, the Verified Fan on sale will begin in select cities. You can see the exact Verified Fan sale time for your selected city below.

Pro Tips When Buying Your Tickets

First, on the day of the presale or general onsale (whichever you prefer), login to your Ticketmaster account (go to my account or sign in located on the upper right corner of the page) at least 15 minutes ahead of the sale time. If you don’t have one, create one now.

Be sure to add your billing info (aka credit card info) before jumping into the digital queue for a quick check-out. Once the presale starts, remain in the digital queue. Only use one browser window because using multiple browsers or devices and multiple accounts with the same phone number can result in errors. Trust, it’s happened to us before! Don’t refresh your page, do be patient, don’t leave your page, do get those tickets!

You don’t want to mess around too much here comparing ticket prices and seats. When you spend too much time doing that, you can and probably will lose tickets to another fan. Know your budget, and know which area you want to get seats or floor tickets

When it’s your turn to finally get tickets, you don’t want to mess around too much here comparing ticket prices and seats. When you spend too much time doing that, you can and probably will lose tickets to another fan. Know your budget, and know which area you want to get seats or floor tickets. We highly recommend you check out the seating chart / map for your selected venue to get a better idea of where you want to sit / stand. Just remember, the further the seats (aka nosebleed), the more “affordable.” The closer to the stage, the more expensive.

What Are Those Official Platinum Tickets?

If you’re seeing very expensive tickets that are not VIP, those are official platinum tickets. These tickets are very expensive and are offered well over the standard ticket prices. They’re the kind of ticket pricing that is unfair to fans. The Event Organizer(s) has priced these tickets according to their market value (aka dynamic pricing). In other words, ticket pricing can go up or down, and it usually goes up.

Artists can choose not to offer Official Platinum or limit the amount for charity purposes. The Cure, Pearl Jam and U2 have all been recognized as artists that don’t use these dynamic pricing tactics.

Official platinum tickets do not include VIP packages. The only positive thing about them is they make buying floor or front-row tickets to a high-demand concert very easy if you’re willing to shed the extra coin. They can be bought during a presale without a presale code (doesn’t always apply to Verified Fan). Availability and pricing for official platinum tickets are subject to change based on demand.

If money is not an object, you should definitely bank on the convenience of getting Official Platinum tickets.

What To Do If Tickets Are Sold Out?

If tickets sell out, your other option is to buy them via online resellers like VividSeats or StubHub. When all else fails, we prefer these resell options because both offer a 100% Guarantee. You can also purchase resell tickets through Ticketmaster’s resell program. Just search for the concert or event you want to attend, and see if they have any resell tickets available. We recommend you compare the three options and find out which works best for you.

Alternatively, you can hit it old school style and show up at the concert when the box office opens and wish upon a star that they release more tickets, or hopefully, another concert-goer has an extra ticket to sell at face-value or even giveaway for free. Trust, this happens more often than not! We’ve given away many tickets to sold-out shows simply because our +1 couldn’t make it.

Also, more standard tickets are often released via Ticketmaster 1-3 days leading up to the show date. We’ve seen it with Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Arctic Monkeys and many more! It’s a secret gatekeeped by many, but if you’re reading this, now you know! So be sure to set your calendar notifications!
