Bruce Springsteen fans are preparing to tackle the inevitable scramble for tickets to his 2016 tour.
The Boss is bringing his E Street Band to London, Manchester, Glasgow and Coventry this summer, with tickets going on general sale at 9am on Thursday 25 February.
The UK gigs were confirmed after Springsteen enjoyed huge demand for The River Tour in Europe. The “Born to Run” rocker recently promised a “richer experience” than his glory days because there is “so much material to draw from”.
“That shared history you have with people makes the night very full, very beautiful,” he told Rolling Stone.

Got sweaty palms already? Check out our handy tips for dealing with the demand:
1) Make sure you are ready and waiting with the web page up at least five minutes before 9am.
2) Do not let your computer, phone or whatever device holds the key to your happiness run out of battery.
3) Register your details with the website you are booking from in advance, if you can, but don’t panic if you haven’t left enough time as your tickets will be held while you fill out your information.
4) Check how many tickets you are allowed to buy in one purchase. If you try to buy more than the limited number, your booking may be cancelled without notice, meaning no-one gets to go.
5) Get your friends to try too, but stay in contact in case you all succeed and end up with a bunch of tickets you didn’t want. If you do need to sell any on, do so at face value. No-one likes a tout.
6) Be patient and avoid refreshing or switching between browsers. Stick with one tab and have some faith! Be prepared to wait for an hour to get tickets.
