How To Save Money on Bruce Springsteen Tour Tickets: Insider Tricks & Verified Discount Codes
In case you missed it, Bruce Springsteen is back — and he's coming to a city near you. The musical icon has announced a 20-date arena tour across North America. The Land of Hopes and Dreams Tour will start on March 31 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and end on May 27 in Washington, D.C.
"We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming!” Springsteen said in a statement announcing the tour.
“We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream — all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C. Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome.”
The Land of Hopes and Dreams tour may be strictly no kings allowed, but many fans have reported having to pay like a king to acquire tickets, with reports of prices around $3,000 for a single person. With a few tips and tricks, however, you can save a pretty penny in the face of skyrocketing Ticketmaster prices.
How to Get Cheaper Tickets For Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s ‘Land of Hopes and Dreams’ Tour
The Land of Hopes and Dreams tour, when it first went on sale this week, tickets were subject to Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing scheme, where the cost of tickets surged according to demand, which is always highest when they first go on sale.
To avoid this, you should look at tickets slightly after they first go on sale, when dynamic pricing is less likely to surge. This is a riskier move, however, as they may be sold out. However, Ticketmaster does offer a resale scheme, where those who bought tickets and can no longer make it can put tickets back — and cannot make a profit from those tickets, in a bid to clamp down on ticket scalping.
Resale tickets often take more time to surface on the website, so be sure to check the Ticketmaster website on your desired date regularly, even several times a day if you're keen, in the lead-up to the concert date, to see if you can grab those resale tickets.

Alternatively, you can buy tickets from a third-party reseller site, namely Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, and TicketNetwork. Do be warned, however — ticket scalpers are more likely to appear on third-party sites. Always read up on the relevant website's guidelines on how to avoid being scammed before buying tickets.
It should also be mentioned that people will often resell tickets in an attempt to make a profit. This makes it more difficult to get a good deal on tickets, but it's a good way of acquiring them if you missed out. On the upside, these sites do offer discount codes to help you save when buying concert passes.
