Springsteen Tickets Going For Less Than A Soda At Some Venues
Trouble in the heartland: That darkness on the edge of town might just be empty seats during Bruce Springsteen's current tour. Ticket prices for Springsteen's Tuesday night Feb. 21 show with the E Street Band in Tulsa, Oklahoma, dropped as low as $6 each -- with fees -- as resellers found themselves forced to dump. His Valentine's Day shindig at the Toyota Center in Houston saw hundreds of tickets left at as little as 10 bucks and hundreds more between $25 and a C-note days before the big night.

With the Knicks returning to the playoffs for the first time in eight years, secondary-market ticket prices reportedly are higher for the team’s home games than for each of the last 10 NBA Finals.
