    I did. Section 429, row 3. Stage left, upper deck, looking straight down at it. Pretty good seats for the upper deck at Toyota Center. I got online at 20 seconds after 10AM and that's all that was left. Freaking show sold out in 10 minutes. All that's left now is behind the stage. But...Springsteen doesn't have another show after Houston until 4 days later, and nothing is scheduled for the Toyota Center for the next night (4/15) so I'll bet they add a second show.

    Oh MAN. I saw him back on the Rising tour. I REALLY want to go this time, but I can't afford tickets. My Dad grew up in south Philly, so you KNOW I grew up listening to the Boss.

    Springsteen is one of those acts I wouldn't go to if given a free ticket. I know he's talented, I heard he plays a great show, I've just never been into his music.

    My first time was the Darkness on the Edge of Town tour...December 1978 :eek: .

    At the megachurch formerly known as Compaq Center which was at the time known as the Summit. :D

    Sorry, Tex. Springstein is the most overrated singer in the history of overrated bands.

    I'd rather watch Poison than him.

    Springsteen is one of the greatest songwriters in history, just like Bob Dylan.

    It ain't about their voices, it's about their songs.

    Then write poetry.

    I need good music in my music, personally.

    Neither have ever been my type, and believe me, I've had to listen to both of them enough to know what I don't like.

    I know I get chided for my musical taste, but I've never understood the fascination with either.

    Like I said, it's all about the songs. And now I know why you get chided for your musical taste.

    I suggest you stick to Poison. Enjoy! :D

    I was trying to get a pair of tickets for my girlfriend for christmas, but they were a bit too pricey for me for where the seats were. Like $125 per ticket for upper deck. :(

    He put on a good show in Minnesota a few weeks ago. He is slowing down a bit. He only went 2 hours and 15 minutes. He is coming back in March.

    He must really be slowing down. I saw Stevie Wonder last week at Toyota Center and he went on close to 3 hours. I heard that he had a meet and greet after the show and played another 2 hours.

    Made a mistake trying for 4 together. Ended up getting 2 pairs, a pair of great lowers, and a pair of uppers on the far end. Aggravating to use the TC site, but happy to get the tickets.

    Me too, but I got pretty good for 4 uppers together. I'm just glad I got some tix for it, but I still think they will add a second show.
