Everything you need to know about Bruce Springsteen at Citizens Bank Park

The Boss is — finally — coming back to the “Streets of Philadelphia.”

Following a sold-out show at the Wells Fargo Center, Bruce Springsteen was set to return to the City of Brotherly Love last August with two shows at Citizens Bank Park. However, hours ahead of the first show, Springsteen announced the postponement of his Philadelphia tour dates due to a peptic ulcer disease diagnosis.

Springsteen and the E Street Band are back in action, and Philadelphians will get to see them at Citizens Bank Park on Aug. 21 and Aug. 23.

The 2024 world tour began in Phoenix in March and will continue through 12 countries with 52 dates ending in Vancouver, Canada, on Nov. 22. Following the Philadelphia shows, Springsteen will make a hometown stop in Asbury Park, N.J., for a sold-out Sea.Hear.Now Festival show on Sept. 15.

The last time Springsteen and the E Street Band were in town, they delivered a memorable 25-song set, including “Thunder Road,” “Born To Run,” and “Glory Days,” for their first tour in seven years. And fans are ready for round two.

The upcoming shows at the home of the Phillies is the same venue where the band played for over four hours on one day in 2016, the longest show Springsteen has ever played in the U.S.

As Citizens Bank Park prepares for the Boss’ return, here’s everything you need to know to “dance just like a Casanova” at the ballpark.

Yes — all tickets from the postponed concerts will be valid for the new dates. Tickets for Aug. 16, 2023, will be accepted for the Aug. 21, 2024, show, and those for the Aug. 18, 2023, show will be valid for the Aug. 23, 2024, show.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will play two stadium shows at Citizens Bank Park on Aug. 21 and 23. Gates open 90 minutes before the show.

Before approaching the gates, be sure to have your ticket bar code(s) ready. Note: Screenshots of digital tickets are not accepted for entry.

GA PIT or Field/Floor ticket holders must enter through the Left Field Gate. There is also a no reentry policy — so once you’re in, you cannot leave and be readmitted to the concert.

Bags and backpacks are prohibited, but purses, clutches, and bags for medical needs 12 inch by 12 inch by 1 inch or smaller are allowed.

If you plan to send the Boss a message from your seat, signs can be 2 feet by 3 feet.

Banners and signs can only be made of cloth, paper, or other light, flexible materials. They cannot be comprised of or need support of wood, metal, or other hard materials. Do not attach or drape them over any part of the ballpark structure.

If your sign blocks a fellow fan’s view, you’ll be asked to take it down — because that’s just rude. Signs cannot have commercial messages, logos, or political endorsements.

Citizens Bank Park reserves the right to take down any banner or sign that does not follow these requirements.

Bags larger than 12 inch by 12 inch by 1 inch, including camera bags, are not allowed into the park, which means professional cameras with a large lens are prohibited.

Yes, you can bring your binoculars and periscopes — pros suggest bringing them along for the best experience.

Bags that don’t follow set requirements are not allowed; that means no camera bags, large purses, coolers, backpacks, or duffel bags.

Alcoholic beverages and food may not be brought into or taken out of Citizens Bank Park — bring your photo I.D. to purchase drinks. Food is available for purchase, too. You can bring a sealed water bottle (one per person). Leave your professional cameras, drones, selfie sticks, audio/video recording devices, tablets, fireworks, weapons, laser pointer devices, and projectiles at home.

Bring a coat if it’s raining — umbrellas are a no-no.

If you happen to bring a prohibited item, you may return it to your vehicle, or store it in a locker outside the Third Base Gate for a $10 fee. Lockers open at 5 p.m.
