Desperately trying for Macca on behalf of a friend. Absolutely no coconut, and he's got a price limit too. 

I got majorly lucky, I hadn't worked out how to make the Co Op app work so missed out there, but someone sent me a mailing list presale code, I tried it mid afternoon and there were just randomly a couple of rows of floor seats left right in the middle! Same price as Springsteen today for a similar area. I think the only other one I'd pay that sort of price for from the older crowd is U2

I'm chasing Racing in the Street at this point in my Bruce going career. Fingers crossed for Anfield night 2 

The one classic I've never caught in 13 shows over 30 years is Backstreets. Has played it at every show on the current tour. No doubt will dropped next summer...

was VERY pleased to hear that one finally this year at Wembley. That was a great night, probably my joint favourite show with Manchester 2016. I keep listening back to it as I downloaded it from the store. Seeds and Youngstown were other highlights

 

Yeah - great show.  Helped by the fact that we had a great group and some Glastonbury leftovers on the go so we went a bit cray cray. Opened up a pit during Badlands.

Definitely been plenty of chances for that over the past couple of years.

What do you reckon the chance of tickets at a decent price nearer the time? Last minute, like.

As an FYI for future, in the Coop the floor seats are probably not as good as the ones on the side stands...visibility isn't any better, just more expensive...not pissing on yer chips - it will still be boss x

Decent, there is more than demand by the looks of things

Twickets had plenty of this years shows listed but the prices didn’t drop much

Its more the atmosphere for me, I like being surrounded by the crowd, and being in the middle of the sound if that makes sense. I'd 100% be standing if it was an option

Cheers guys. Would be happy with face value, just can't commit yet...

Might get lucky if City or United get to the FA Cup final, more than usual will be being offloaded then

The sound there is ace. We were rear middle for Eagles and was boss. In the gods for Macca and not worried in slightest, though I would be contemplating not going if that was the 02

We did Eagles there too, probably a couple of blocks to the side of you as we were on the corner. Such a good venue, though I'm out for any Saturday shows due to no later running trains and no guarantee of a 10.30 finish til the day. Means Keane are a no for me next week when I was planning to go, and looks like we'll have to sell our Kasabian tickets. Its just about possible, but stressful, and means we basically have to run back to the station and start leaving before the end.

I'm actually tempted to do a statistical analysis to find out how that's even possible.

 

I reckon I've seen it at more than 50% of the similar number of shows I've seen. And several of those weren't even ESB shows.

I’ve bought two seats without any confidence I can actually go, I’ll only be looking for face if I can get the ducks in a row. I’ll try and remember to give you a shout

Aye, had the presales and everything. Got through but every time you went to drop in the basket, somebody snaffled 'em first.

[NorthernSoul52]

Will say that those who haven't got a ticket now will be able to later on. Anfield #2 and the Manchester extra still seem to have plenty at the time of writing, and there will be a lot flung to Twickets and the like.

[NorthernSoul52]

As for a "hit-list", so to speak, my five never-heard chasers are:

 

I'm Goin' Down

Jungleland

Lucky Town

One Step Up

Radio Nowhere

 

The chance of landing any of those seems slim, but with three dates in the UK and the - current - tour closer in Milan, I may hopefully grab one.

 

As I've said before, very fortunate to be in this position.

13 miles. 

 

But more importantly, these are going to be my last ever big arena shows so I'm ending it with the Boss.

For whatever reason that may be, sending you the best.

Ah Radio Nowhere, Magic was out just as I was properly getting into Springsteen so good memories of that album. Lucky enough to see that song at Glastonbury of all places!

According to setlist.fm, played 612 times in 2936 shows. 

I don't know the maths to say what chances are of going to 13 shows and still missing it, but... slim. It's one of my favourites too, so here's hoping.

 

On the other hand, I got to witness TV Movie, which has only ever been performed once...

Probably the ultimate win though is seeing NYC Serenade with string section.

As a bare minimum Rosie needs to cross the pond next year.
