Hey Springsteen friends, I’ve cancelled my Labor Day trip to NYC to save for The 2023 E Street Tour of Dreams & so have three Jason Isbell (NYC 9/1-2, Asbury 9/3) & 1 Southside (Asbury 9/4) to sell. Let me know if interested. Sad I can’t make such a great weekend but…priorities.

I learned a bit listening to this brief overview on how dynamic pricing will continue to impact more than just tickets. Not a good trend. Thx for including a sound byte from the dazed shell that was me last week. I have since rallied. 🙂
