Rock icon Bruce Springsteen and his legendary E Street Band will perform their rescheduled concert on Thursday, April 18. The concert is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. Concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early to avoid delays at entry and download their tickets to their mobile device prior to entry. Springsteen has no opening act and is anticipated to take the stage promptly at 7:30 p.m.
For those heading to the show, here is the know-before-you-go information to make your travel and concert experience as smooth as possible.
Cash is not accepted at any concession locations, the box office or merchandise stands. Major credit cards, debit cards and mobile payment (Apple Pay, Android Pay and Google Wallet) are accepted. For those who just can’t resist buying a tour poster or T-shirt, there will be an outdoor tent located outside of Gate N prior to the show selling artist merchandise. Once the show begins, additional merch booths will open inside the venue as concourse traffic eases.
As with all events at the JMA Dome, a clear bag policy will be enforced. Each fan is allowed one clear bag and one small clutch or purse, with exceptions for medically necessary items. Please visit the Clear Bag Policy webpage for additional information. Being aware of the policy ahead of time will help expedite entry into the venue.
For those who purchased a parking pass in advance for the Sept. 7 show, it is still valid for this show.
If you are a member of our campus community planning to attend the concert, your existing campus parking pass will be honored in University Avenue Garage, Comstock Avenue Garage, University Avenue North and South lots and the Irving Avenue Hill lot, as space allows.
All parking is cashless. Customers may pay via credit card (including tap and pay), or through Google Pay or Apple Pay. Have payment ready for the lot attendants, to ensure an efficient flow of traffic.
Pay parking is available at several locations around campus, including:
Those who haven’t purchased a parking permit in advance are encouraged to use the Brighton Avenue exit off 1-81 and take Ainsley Drive to the Skytop Lot.
Those “Born to Run,” “Born in the USA” or who simply want to do “The E Street Shuffle” for a couple of hours are in luck, as tickets are still available through Ticketmaster, starting at $60.50 including fees.
As a reminder, those who purchased tickets for the September 7, 2023 show are still valid for the April 18, 2024 show.
To avoid delays at the gate, make sure to download your mobile tickets before you arrive to campus.
For those with general admission tickets for the pit, please enter through Gate D.
Regular shuttles to South Campus and other campus and Centro shuttles will continue to run during and after the event, though arrivals and departures may be delayed due to the large amount of vehicular traffic in the University area.
Syracuse University’s Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) will make a temporary change to campus traffic patterns following the conclusion of the concert.
As the concert ends, PTS and the Syracuse Police Department will close Comstock Avenue to all traffic except parking shuttles, which will travel between the College Place bus stop, the Colvin Street and Comstock Avenue Lots and the Skytop Lot.
The concert is anticipated to end between 10:20 and 10:50 p.m., and at that time, PTS will direct all traffic away from Comstock Avenue between Waverly Avenue and East Colvin Street. As a significant crowd is expected for the concert, this will allow for the efficient exit and transportation of the concert attendees from the shuttle stop at College Place to their parking lots on South Campus. The road will reopen as soon as the concert shuttles are cleared. More information about parking is available on the Parking and Transportation Services website.
