Hi all - To anyone who's tried to change settings on what you want to get, this might be more helpful - Seems my first instructions were a bit confusing. I'll update them shortly. But, for now, sections are:
Next Draft (this is monthly newsletter)
Fiction/Book (articles about my books and eventually some fiction expanding on books)
Business of Writing (I'm creating this in a second)
Self-care/Spirit (themes within my writing)
Podcast (still sorting this out)
Other/Misc (general things that don't fit elsewhere I was moved to write)
I'm still a work-in-progress so apologies for any confusion!!
Hi, first I’d love to know how you got an affordable Bruce ticket and what you consider affordable. I’m a lifelong fan and have heard nothing but horror stories in the online fan group I belong to.
Second, I followed your advice about adjusting my subscription but the categories you listed weren’t included as options. I switched to just get the monthly edition but also want articles about self-improvement and writing. Just not LOA or book publishing articles. Is there a way to do that?
An re Bruce, I tend to have good Boss Karma. I'm not sure what city you were going for, but I'm in New Mexico now, so Denver is closest to me. That's going to be easier than a place like NYC. I got accepted for the presale and started out more than 2000 people deep in the queue. But it went pretty fast - when I got in, I just kept clicking around. I've sat behind stage and they're actually fantastic seats, and I've sat side stage - same. A bunch were 2 ticket minimum and I'm solo, so I just kept clicking on seats until I found one for $200 something that's 11 rows up side stage. Which for a Bruce ticket is cheap.... And he has almost no staging so everywhere is a good view.
Thanks, I’m going for Atlanta, which goes on sale in a couple of days, and am a verified fan approved for the presale. I’m solo too, so hopefully I’ll find one I can afford.
Just know that the verified fan seats - whatever the premium special whatever seats are 2 tix minimum are are expensive. You'd obviously be able to get rid of the other - I'm still new to NM so didn't want to have to worry about it. But once you're in the venue, you can click around on the seats. They'll be snapped up as you search but I was in there looking for 3 - 5 minutes and still got a good seat. A lot were gone though. - but the nosebleeds were only around $60. I think being 1 person actually helps. Good luck!! Let me know if you score!
Great news…I got one of the cheap nosebleed seats; total including fees was $85! Thanks again for your helpful tips! I shared them in Spring-Nuts, a wonderful worldwide Bruce fan group on FB I highly recommend!
YEAH!!!!!! So happy you scored. I’ll think about the group. I was a huge Who fan - published a fanzine on them in the day and got all involved. One of the things I like about Springsteen is that I just love the music. Don’t want to get caught up in fan stuff. Poor Pete Townshend had to deal with me chasing them around for 40 years..... many congrats!!!
Hi Wendi - So sorry about that. I just copy and pasted the substack info I had. I think they've made it easier since this option started. I just updated the section headings to make it more clear also. And if you want self improvement and writing stuff, that's everything except the misc section. I'm going to put instructions on how to change in a comment from me in case you have trouble getting in to the settings to make the changes. And let me know if that section headings are confusing. Oh, shoot, I see what you're saying about book publishing. give me an hour or two and I'll create a new section and separate book info from the process of writing. As you can see, it's constantly evolving. Thanks for the feedback!
ps - I've updated the section headings and separated out articles on the business of writing from my book and fiction writing. Let me know if that helps or if you're still confused. Re LOA - I include that in self-care/spirit. It's not a huge focus like I'd originally been thinking - it's just part of spirit.
Thanks. I appreciate this, and it’s also nice to meet someone who shares my love of Bruce Springsteen. I once flew from Maui (where I lived at the time) to CA for the sole purpose of seeing Bruce in concert. It was worth it - I was in the pit, a first for me!
My financial situation has changed dramatically, though, so I may not get to see him this time around and that breaks my heart. As you wrote, people who have never seen him perform life can’t understand. I’m glad you can!
I'm with you on the financial thing. I'd said no matter WHERE he plays when covid calms down, I'm going to be at the first show. It's Europe - and my business went under with covid - so there's no way. And I totally get the HI to CA for him - we both know it's worth it! His Broadway show SO blew me away that I flew out to the southwest 2 days after going to road trip in the desert for 10 days. I had to go drive and absorb and be on my own. Only Bruce folks can understand....
