Bruce Springsteen fans have been bowled over by the price of the singer’s 2023 arena tour. Logging in to Ticketmaster, some found that face value prices for mid-range floor tickets came to a whopping $4k to $5k.
Apparently, it’s all because of Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing” system, which has been in operation since 2018. It works in a similar way to Uber’s surge pricing or airline tickets, in that as demand grows for the “platinum tickets” – which despite the name don’t offer any extra concert privileges – the price rushes up.
