Bruce Springsteen fans like to pay it forward: The Times looks at how it's dirt cheap to see the Boss. In fact, two fans that showed up at Giants Stadium were given a pair of $60 tickets for free, on the condition that they "return the favor to another Springsteen fan in the future." One of the fans explains, "Springsteen's going to attract that type of crowd. Because of the music and his own background, they're nicer in general and have more of that ethic and moral background." Way to diplomatically say "So don't expect that at your hip city clubs with your too-cool-for-school bands."
Boro 6 went to see the Boss.
