Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert chronology |
The River Tour 2016 is a concert tour by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in support of Springsteen's 2015 The Ties That Bind: The River Collection box set.[1] The nine week tour was announced on December 4, 2015, with tickets going on sale on December 11, 2015. This marks the first tour in two years for Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Each night of the tour will be mixed for release on Live.BruceSpringsteen.net as high-quality downloads and CDs. Recordings will be available within days of each performance.
Background
Springsteen released The Ties That Bind: The River Collection on December 4, 2015. The extensive box set features the original 1980 The River album along with many outtakes from those sessions. Along with the full album performance, select outtakes are also expected to be performed live, some possibly for the first time.
Unlike the previous few tours, the touring lineup will be downsized and will not feature a full horn section or backing vocalists.[2] Each night of the tour will feature a full-length sequential performance of The River album, a practice that began during 2009's Working on a Dream Tour (albeit with other albums performed at different times).[3] This will be the first tour in which all dates will feature the same album performed in its entirety.
The original River Tour began in October 1980 and continued through September 1981. With sets that regularly approached the four-hour range, the 140-date international tour firmly established a reputation for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band as marathon performers.

Ticket scalping
Like with previous Springsteen tours, ticket scalpers were a major problem when it came to buying tickets. Tickets for Springsteen's New York shows began popping up on resale sites such as StubHub and eBay on December 7, 2015, four days before they went on sale to the public. Scaplers were re-selling tickets not yet available for as much as $5,000. This prompted the New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to launch an investigation into how this happened and wrote a letter forcing both companies to immediately remove any listings for ticket sales.[7]When tickets finally went on sale on December 11, many fans again were shut out from buying tickets as most venues sold out quickly and within minutes, tickets were appearing for hundreds to thousands of dollars more on resale sites.[8]According to reports, Springsteen's shows sold out in record time. Springsteen's show in Newark, NJ at the Prudential Center sold out in a few minutes. His previous 2012 show at the same venue took two hours to sell out.[9]
