In case The Boss' return and the holidays make you want to hear his classic "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town," here's the version that is played most on the radio:

I was looking for that version and couldn't find it!  Thanks!  "Everybody out there been good, or what?"

The Boss is doing 2 concerts here in Sweden. Both at The Ullevi arena on July 27, 28.  150 000 fans in two days! I was lucky, me and my friends are going the 27th!  ;D

Lucky!  Have fun!

Its looking as thought he will be skipping Scotland on this tour. Im not too bothered if the rumoured Irish tix prices are true. I wouldnt pay that to see him. In the past 5 yrs or so...bog standard ticket prices seem to have about doubled for "big" artists

Just another greedy bstard.  He doesn’t even have the decency to play arenas.

But then, I suppose, he has to pay for his daughter’s gymkhanas, which ain’t cheap.

Dublin 1 has already sold out and there’s no room at the inn at the Clarence for that night.

Makes me wonder if the economic situation in Ireland is really as bad as the media like to make out.

His GA prices make U2's look pretty resonable.

Bruce's 2012 prices are in almost every case the same as they were in 2009. And I'm not sure that we can judge Ireland's economic situation well by its Bruce Springsteen ticket sales.

I'd bet money that very few of those tickets/rooms were sold to people in Ireland.

U2's GA ticket prices are downright cheap compared to other acts. I paid almost twice as much to see The Boss from the pit as I paid for U2.

Ticket prices for this Springsteen tour at the City of Manchester stadium and Sunderland's Stadium of Light are priced at £66 and £61 for seating and standing respectively.  U2 charged £30, £55, £75, and £150 for tickets to their 360 Sheffield show at Don Valley stadium.
