Ed, something rotten is going on with Springsteen concert tickets. I was on the phone with Ticketmaster the minute tickets went on sale, and no matter what buttons I pushed to order tickets, nothing was available. It’s nice to know Springsteen lets in free 100 fans waiting in line the day of the concert rehearsal. But he’s only making ticket brokers wealthy by handling sales this way. A hundred-dollar ticket I guess will go for $400-$500, and nobody’s getting hundred-dollar tickets unless they had some insider information ahead of time. It really sounds a sour note on this All-American artist.

Not the Boss of Me

Meanwhile, when Hannah Montana tix are being scapled for thousands of dollars, you know the world’s going to the dogs.—Ed. Note
