Score Tickets To See Bruce Springsteen at Giants Stadium For The Last Time
Its no surprise that hometown boy Bruce Springsteen holds the record as the number one selling artist at the Meadowlands and has sold out more than 50 concerts there with the E Street Band. The boss was scheduled to play three more shows at Giants Stadium on September 30th, October 2nd and October 3rd, but because the shows sold out so quickly, they have added two more dates on October 8th and October 9th. The high demand for tickets is, at least in part, due to the fact that Springsteen will be the last major act to play at the stadium before it is demolished.
If you want to see Bruce at Giants Stadium one last time, you better act fast. The additional show on October 9th is already sold out but, according to Ticketmaster, there are still tickets available for the October 8th concert. As of this morning, a search for the "best available" seats only returned seats in the upper-most level of the stadium for $65.

The Super Bowl Party Scene: Now With Fewer Parties
Even the Super Bowl—one of America's greatest standard bearers of extravagance and over-the-top commercialism—isn't immune from the recession blues.
No, they're not having any trouble selling those $3 million commercial slots, but it's looking like the week-long party in Tampa Bay is going to be a little less super than usual this year, with more than a few of the glitziest party planners giving it a pass.
The Washington Post reports Playboy and Sports Illustrated have both canceled their annual Super Bowl bashes while several talent agencies have done the same, and a celebrity golf tournament organized by two Tampa Bay Buccaneers players was canceled because of a lack of sponsors.
The NFL still expects 100,000 gridiron fans to make the trek to Tampa for Sunday's big game between Pittsburgh and Arizona. But don't expect any Britney/Justin bubble-era pop music at halftime—this year's show features the appropriately recession-friendly sounds of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
