The Price You Pay

Light Of Day 2014

It only took less than a week for Jon Landau Management to hear the fans' passionate responses regarding the implementation of the overpriced USB wristbands to sell the upcoming Springsteen bootlegs, that they actually addressed the issue head on. Here's the good news everyone has been waiting for, courtesy of Backstreets:

Backstreets has just confirmed that, in addition to the USB wristband sales model, Springsteen will also be offering direct audio downloads through his official Live Nation online store following each show on the upcoming leg, with no physical purchase required. There will be two options for audio formats: MP3 (320 kbps) or FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec). Pricing will match Pearl Jam's, at $9.99 for MP3 or $14.99 for FLAC. Hard to say fairer than that. This plan is in place for at least each show on the South Africa/Australia/New Zealand leg. Support it, and it's hard to see why they'd stop there.
