Not that you asked but personaly i can't stand him...at any price. I wouldn't go to a free concert of his in the neighborhood except maybe to cut the power connection.

You know, I never liked Bruce either and I always felt bad about that because aren't people from NJ supposed to like Bruce? Girls from NJ, particularly? I had a boyfriend once sing me a few strains of "Jersey Girl" and it gave the word "strains" in that sentence new meaning. But I managed a smile...it's the thought that counts!

I don't know that I'd pay to see anyone's rehearsal; for some people, it would probably be huge, and the opportunity of a lifetime. To each his or her own.

if you don't like the price don't go!

the rehearsals are usually a great time to see him. If I go to one of the rehearsal shows I don't bother with the real show.

Here's a tip, if he's doing them in asbury, you can just sit outside and hear the show, he usually has them open the doors, and if you're really nuts you can hang around and get into one of the rehearsals for the rehearsal show

I'm in FLA now so I haven't heard when the show are scheduled, do you know?

Not sure, in any case tix for this are sold out
was going to get them for my son as he seems to like the rehearsals but not at that price

In addition I can afford the $100.00 bucks but from what I see in concert prices, pro baseball prices et al it is almost becoming unaffordable for the average working Joe

Default as a Black person...um...here's my opinion..LOL

Well, I actually like Bruce, and Bon Jovi. They became symbols of Jersey, but honestly...I don't care too much about Bruce. I don't want him to go away either, but come on..I don't have an album. Concerts, no matter what, are getting out of hand. I think tickets should be no more than fifty bucks tops. But if we have to be real about a Bruce concert, people go for the experience. They may run into their friends from high school, and to have a few drinks.

I'm from Teaneck, so honestly I'm a big fan of the Isley Brother's, who are from Teaneck, NJ. If we really compiled a list of all the cool musicians from Jersey, that's a really decent chunk of American talent.

Musicians lost control of what it costs for the average person to see a concert years ago. Huge corporations like Ticketmaster and Livenation control the venues, the booking, and ultimately the musicians. On the other hand, I could see a lot of die-hard Springsteen fans paying a lot of money to see them rehearse. You're paying to see something that 90% of the time the public wouldn't be privy to. Seeing musicians like Springsteen and the rest of the E-Street band just jamming and having a good time is an experience that's totally different from a live show.
