DENVER (KDVR) – Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band have at long last announced their return to the road with a tour that’ll bring fans, who have been waitin’ on a sunny day out of the dark where they’ve been dancing since the American icon was last here half a decade ago.
Bruce Springsteen puns aside, the born-to-run New Jersey native announced a worldwide tour on Tuesday and among the list of cities scheduled to be graced by his denim-fueled presence is Ball Arena here in the Mile High City.
Tickets to the March 2 show can be snagged through Ticketmaster starting at a later date. Ticketmaster is using a program called Verified Fan in an effort to reduce the number of bots buying tickets. You can learn more about Ticketmaster Verified Fan here.
