Few Bruce Springsteen tours in the last five years have solidified The Boss' longevity as well as his current tour, The River Tour, has. Since Springsteen announced the celebratory trek in honor of his landmark 1980 album, The River, fans have flocked to the resale ticket market to get tickets to the increasingly sold out tour. The River 2016 Tour launched on January 16 and was originally intended to last for just two months in the U.S. and Canada. Due to overwhelming demand (and limited ticket availability), The Boss extended the tour into late April, adding 14 additional shows, including back-to-back nights at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

Even with the additional dates, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band tickets, especially in the New York City area, are increasingly hard to come by. Across all scheduled performances, Bruce Springsteen tickets are averaging $296, with high price points in Philadelphia and Rochester, New York. The most expensive date to see The River Tour is currently the band's February 12 stop at Wells Fargo Center in Philly, where resale tickets averaged $832, with the cheapest ticket priced at a whopping $323. The band's March 28 performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City (which was rescheduled following Winter Storm Jonas) is currently the second priciest date, with tickets averaging $783, with the cheapest ticket available for $277.
Springsteen & Co's April 23 stop in Brooklyn isn't too far behind the MSG's expense, as tickets at Barclays Center are currently averaging $456, with a get-in price of $157, according to data provided by TiqIQ. The tour will make its cheapest stop on April 7 in Kansas City at the Sprint Center, where a ticket can be purchased for as low as $59. Fans driving to the Sprint Center can save money on Kansas City parking through ParkWhiz.com, where rates begin as low as $15.
Recently, Springsteen announced that he will be releasing an autobiography, Born to Run, on September 27. According to a report from Rolling Stone, Springsteen began working on the memoir in 2009 after performing at the Super Bowl halftime show with the E Street Band.
