Both The Dead and Bruce Springsteen are sharing a similar fate in ticket sales. Prices have plummeted for a number of cities on the current tours and The Dead Tickets and Bruce Springsteen tickets can be purchased for well below face value in some cases.

Some of the venues for cheap Springsteen tickets include:Philips Arena, Greensboro Coliseum.For the Dead, great prices can be found for the Nassau Coliseum and the Xcel Center.

It may have more to do with the economy, but this is the second time that Bruce has toured in only a few years and the Dead raised their prices so much they probably out priced many of their fans. Maybe smaller venues should be on the bill for the next tours, just don’t raise the prices!
