Nominate for Ticket Consideration
Know someone who fits in a category below?
1st Criteria
Fans who have never attended a Springsteen show (including Broadway) or who missed the 2023 tour.
2nd Criteria
Fans who meet the 1st criteria are given additional consideration regarding any temporary or long-term financial, medical, or personal challenges.
Rare Exceptions
Fans who have seen a show on the 2016 tour but who are shut out of 2023/24 tickets due to dynamic pricing or other circumstances, and who are prepared to discuss and share on social media.
Waitlists
Anyone can be added to the waitlist for a specific tour date for tickets that may be donated at the last moment. There's absolutely no guarantee that they will receive a ticket, and they will not care where that seat is located.
If you do know someone who fits the above criteria, you can nominate them. Read more below.
Campaigns
I create a campaign for the fan who would like to share their circumstances in hopes of receiving a ticket. I will post this campaign on social media, and I will discuss it on E Street Radio and on podcasts, and in media articles.
Waitlist
If they do not want a campaign created, I can place the fan at the top of the waitlist for the local show date(s). There's absolutely no guarantee that they will receive a ticket, and they will not care where that seat is located. Those on the waitlist are 2nd priority after those with campaigns.
There is no shame in asking for help if you're nominating yourself, and only continued despair in not asking. So there's no need to grovel or beg here.
Bruce Funds grew out of a deeply painful and personal endeavor to honor my mother. There was never a grand scheme for personal recognition nor did I realize so many other people would want to be involved.
The spirit of the E Street Nation worldwide is an amazing energy to experience, and I feel blessed to be a part of it.
Of course, as with any community, the more people involved, the greater the chance for things to go awry.
Please remember the grassroots foundation of Bruce Funds are random acts of kindness and paying it forward. In that spirit, Bruce Funds requires a few key elements to function smoothly: Honesty. Trust. Donations. Nominations. Participation.
Now you're finally ready to nominate someone. I look forward to hearing from you.

DISCLAIMER - Bruce Funds is not a charity; we're a community of fans around the world. Bruce Funds does not buy your tickets. (I can help someone offset the cost of their ticket purchase.) Bruce Funds does not sell tickets. Bruce Funds does not support purchasing live event tickets via any 3rd party reseller agent for anything priced above face value. Bruce Funds is not in any way associated with Mr. Bruce Springsteen or his management team. Bruce Funds is not employed by nor officially associated with SiriusXM or E Street Radio. Bruce Funds is not here to place judgement on your need for tickets, providing it is a legitimate need. (For example, seeking assistance to purchase your 4th ticket to the tour will not be considered legitimate and you may be privately judged as someone who should be donating instead, but we won't call you out on it.) Finally, Bruce Funds does not siphon your Springsteen knowledge nor your personal, private information for sale to any 3rd party.
