Bruce Springsteen announced The Land of Hope and Dreams Tour on Tuesday, with a stop at San Francisco’s Chase Center right around the corner — on Monday, April 13. Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 20 at noon, Pacific Time.

Marketing materials for the tour with the E Street Band make Springsteen’s intent plain, with a tagline reading: “NO KINGS.”

Springsteen is currently riding a wave from a new anti-ICE protest song, “Streets of Minneapolis“; a recent box set of unreleased albums; and a live EP recorded in England with sharp between-song criticism of the Trump administration’s attack on democracy and civil rights. He was also recently the subject of a Hollywood film.

There are no special credit-card presales or phone-company presale codes for tickets to Bruce Springsteen’s San Francisco show — just a simple general onsale.

This may seem egalitarian, but consider that when Springsteen last played the Warriors’ home arena, with two back-to-back shows in 2024, his ticket sales were subject to “dynamic pricing,” and fluctuated by hundreds of dollars each in real time. (The backlash was so strong that after publishing for 43 years, the Bruce fan newsletter Backstreets shut down in protest.)

Whether dynamic pricing will be in effect on Friday remains to be seen. Notable is that there’s enough space on either side of his tour schedule to add another date, which could help with supply and demand.

Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 20, at noon Pacific time right here.
