Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band ticket packages to raise funds for cancer fight
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are coming back — are you ready?
The North American stadium and arena tour begins Wednesday, Aug. 9, at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Ticket packages for U.S. shows are being auctioned through Chartitybuzz.com for the benefit of the Kristen Ann Carr Fund, which raises money and awareness in the fight against sarcoma, a form of cancer.
Winners will get to choose where they want to sit, either the general admission pit or management-designated seats for two. The exact seat location of the seats will not be known until a week prior to the show. If there is an E Street Lounge at the show, the winners will receive passes.
Bids are currently in the $1,500 range for the shows, which are being released on a rolling basis. Ticketmaster resale tickets for the first Wrigley show start at $144 for the upper deck to $1,300 for field seats.
Carr, the daughter of long-time Springsteen co-manager Barbara Carr and rock journalist Dave Marsh, passed away of sarcoma in 1993 at the age of 21. The ticket packages are provided by Jon Landau, Springsteen's longtime manager.
