But the buzz isn\u2019t just about the music. Fans are grappling with eye-watering ticket prices, courtesy of Ticketmaster\u2019s opaque dynamic pricing algorithms. The frustration is real, but so is the admiration. The devotion to Springsteen is undiminished, and one video from a 2012 performance offers a perfect reminder why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the clip, Springsteen invites a young girl onstage to sing a few verses of Waitin\u2019 on a Sunny Day\u2014a gesture he reportedly made a habit of during his tours. The child\u2019s grandparents, posting under the handle Mfernkes, recall the moment with pride: \u201cWe were lucky that he picked our granddaughter and we were very proud of her performance.\u201d Rightly so\u2014what a defining childhood memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Concert<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another commenter, 42awww, captured the emotion perfectly: \u201cThis must be one of the most precious moments of your life!! When she looks back 20 years from now\u2026 and Bruce, the epic of class.\u201d Many others chimed in with praise for Springsteen\u2019s warmth, his generosity, and the deeply human connection he fosters with fans\u2014young and old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, the shine of those moments can\u2019t entirely mask the frustration surrounding ticket costs. The iconic Backstreets fanzine, a fan-driven publication that\u2019s been running since 1980, has shuttered in protest. While their parting words were clear\u2014Springsteen isn\u2019t the villain here\u2014the blame rests squarely on Ticketmaster\u2019s near-total grip on the live music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since merging with Live Nation in 2010, Ticketmaster has become the Goliath of event ticketing, controlling roughly 70% of the U.S. market, according to CNBC. With a stranglehold on both venues and ticket sales, the company can hike prices in lockstep with demand. For fans of mega-acts like Taylor Swift, Beyonc\u00e9, and Springsteen, the result is the same: heartbreak at the checkout page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adorable<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add in the post-pandemic hunger for live music, and it\u2019s a perfect storm\u2014one that artists and fans alike are struggling to weather. The good news? The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has Ticketmaster in its sights, holding hearings on the company\u2019s monopoly power. Whether real change follows remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But the buzz isn\u2019t just about the music.
