Bruce Springsteen Edinburgh gig prices spark fury as Ticketmaster sells for £505

Ticketmaster is selling tickets on its own site for a shocking seven times the original asking price.

Campaigners say the Bruce Springsteen gig at Murrayfield is the perfect example of how the giant sales site is determined to “tout its own tickets” - now charging a minimum of £505 for basic briefs at the back of the stadium for The Boss. There are still tickets for sale at 25 separate sections of the Edinburgh ground, two months after they went on sale, at prices few fans could ever afford.

One well established tout told the Record that the Ticketmaster “dynamic pricing” and “platinum tickets” tactics, which are seducing more and more major global acts, are making sky high prices on tout sites like Viagogo look like a bargain.
