Bruce Springsteen at Xcel Energy Center

Bruce Springsteen will be back at the Xcel Energy Center for the sixth time on Sunday March 16th. If you are thinking "wasn’t Bruce Springsteen just here?" You are right. “The Boss” played to a sold out Xcel Energy Center on November 2nd, that’s less than 5 months ago. One of my friends is going to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, so I will have her write a blog entry next week about the show. Her Bruce Springsteen tickets are lower level reserved seats since the Xcel general admission floor will probably be a mess.

If you bought general admission tickets and you want to get into the front section of the floor, you need to be at Gate 1 at 2pm to get a wristband. You then need to be at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium at 5:15pm to line up for the lottery system. A select number of GA ticket holders will be selected to be in the front pit section. It will be an all day affair to get selected, but I am guessing the die hard Bruce Springsteen fans won’t mind.

Bon Jovi Rocks Xcel 3/18

Bon Jovi has announced a concert at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. The concert is scheduled for 3/18/2008. However, there is a rumor that he will actually play two shows. I don't think that Bon Jovi will sell out both shows even though they historically sell tons of tickets. It will also hurt the Bon Jovi demand that Bruce Springtseen Tickets have already gone on sale for the Xcel Energy Center and the show is 3/16/2008. There is definitely cross-over between the two groups of fans and there is only so much entertainment money to go around. My recommendation is to be picky about seat location and price for Bon Jovi because 36,000 Xcel Energy Center Tickets is a lot to sell.

Bruce Springsteen Coming Back

Bruce Springsteen announced another show at the Xcel Energy Center. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are set to come back to the Xcel on March 16th for an encore performance. He obviously loves the Twin Cities and the Xcel Energy Center because this show is the only announced show after his winter tour wraps up in a couple of days. My hunch is that the ticket demand won't be what it was for his last show. With only four months between shows, there will be a Bruce Springsteen "overdose" on the Twin Cities concert fans. My advice is that if you aren't picky about ticket location, don't pay too much for seats because there should be plenty of supply.
