Bruce Springsteen's Final Stretch of 'The River' Tour Dates Reflect His Cheapest 2016 Tickets

After touring extensively for most of 2016, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band will hit the road again at the end of this month to complete the final stretch of North American dates for The River tour. The final stretch will kick off with back-to-back performances on Aug. 23 and 24 in East Rutherford, New Jersey at MetLife Stadium and will conclude on Sept. 14 in Foxborough, Massachusetts at Gillette Stadium.

Since Springsteen announced the celebratory tour in honor of his landmark 1980 album, The River, fans have flocked to the resale ticket market to get tickets to the sold-out performances. The River Tour, which has commanded some of the priciest tickets of the year, originally kicked off on Jan. 16, with the intent to last just two months in the U.S. and Canada.

With huge demand, The Boss extended the tour into late April, adding 14 additional shows, and then again later in the summer to push the final dates in September.

Currently, tickets to see Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band are averaging a lofty $228 for all ten dates. The priciest date is scheduled to be his August 30 show at MetLife, where tickets are averaging $267, with the cheapest ticket priced at $62. His cheapest show will be his Sept. 9 performance at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, where tickets are averaging $187, with the most affordable ticket starting at $100, according to data provided by TiqIQ.

Although Springsteen & Co. are known for their pricey tickets, prices on the secondary market for the next-scheduled batch are considerably cheaper than the performances that launched earlier in the year. For example, back in February the band played a show at The Wells Fargo Center in Philly, and resale tickets averaged $832, with the cheapest ticket priced at a whopping $323. Bruce's March 28 date at Madison Square Garden averaged $738, with the cheapest ticket priced at $270.

For fans looking to see The Boss before the summer is up, tickets are the most reasonably priced they've been all year.
