The wait is over. The Boss is in town.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform at Albany’s MVP Arena Monday night at 7:30 p.m. If you’re starting to feel left out, don’t worry, tickets are still available.
More than 100 tickets were still up for grabs on resale site StubHub as of early Monday afternoon. Tickets in the upper levels are available for as low as $171, but could also set you back up to $10,000. For general admission pit tickets, the remaining ones are priced at $2,500.
To purchase directly from the arena, head to its website where you will be redirected to Ticketmaster and put in a virtual waiting room and queue.
