Special Code Required to Purchase Tickets to SPRINGSTEEN ON BROADWAY Today

Fans of 'The Boss' will require a special code to purchase tickets for the highly anticipated Springsteen on Broadway. Tickets for the show are set to go on sale at 10 a.m. today, August 30th. In an attempt to prevent ticket brokers and bots from profiting from the high demand for tickets, Ticketmaster is using Verified Fan, which will randomly select previously registered buyers to receive text messages with offer codes several hours before tickets go on sale.

As BWW reported earlier this month, Ticketmaster had issued a warning to those wishing to purchase tickets to the event. The ticketing website urged perspective audiences to avoid unverified resale. Since tickets have not yet gone on sale, anyone claiming to have tickets is selling 'speculative tickets'.

Bruce Springsteen will make his Broadway concert debut this fall with Springsteen on Broadway, a solo show at the Walter Kerr Theatre (219 West 48th Street). Performances for Springsteen on Broadway begin Tuesday, October 3, with an official opening on Thursday, October 12. Springsteen will perform five shows a week through November 26th.

The creative team for Springsteen on Broadway includes Heather Wolensky (scenic design), Natasha Katz (lighting design) and Brian Ronan (sound design).
