Bruce Springsteen and Justin Bieber fans slam 'disgraceful' ticket prices for Irish gigs

Bruce Springsteen and Justin Bieber's Irish fans have hit out at the "disgraceful" prices for their concert tickets.

Pop star Bieber will hit the stage at Dublin’s 3Arena on February 28, 2023, while Springsteen and The E Street Band will be performing in the RDS Arena in Dublin on May 5 and 7, 2023.

However, many fans have been voicing their shock online at the sheer cost of a general admission ticket.

For Justin Bieber fans hoping to get tickets to his gig in the 3Arena next February, they'll have to fork out between €86 and €126 for their seated ticket, or €99 for a standing ticket.

Meanwhile, Springsteen fans hoping to attend his two gigs in the RDS next May will have to pay between €96 and €156 for seated tickets while general admission is a whopping €131.

One outraged fan tagged both Justin Bieber and his manager, Scooter Braun in a post on Twitter and wrote: “You should be ashamed about the price you are charging for tickets for your Irish shows.”

Meanwhile, Springsteen fans also echoed their shock and disgust over the current ticket prices, with one writing: “Just checked the price for Dublin 131€ standing and 141€ 156€ seated per ticket. Far too much even for Bruce.”

A second fan said: “I've seen Bruce fifteen times but €130 for standing is a bit saucy now at this stage.

A third said: "Madness people are willing to pay so much for Bieber and Springsteen tickets, €130 for Springsteen and probably will have to pay €300/400 for one night in a hotel?!"
