First: Hearing Bruce Springsteen live in concert last week was fantastic, and I'd buy tickets again.I paid nearly $175 apiece, including fees, last July for semi-nosebleed seats at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., a few hours from where I live.Not bad, I thought at the time.And I got to see Mr. Springsteen, appearing fit and feisty, as he opened with No Surrender and then rocked his way through his catalog for about three hours.
