Springsteen's Author Appearance In Freehold Already Sold Out

FREEHOLD, NJ — Bruce Springsteen's autobiography "Born to Run" is due out later this month, and the music icon will kick off his book tour right where he got started: his hometown of Freehold.

However, if you were hoping to see The Boss and get a pre-signed copy of his book during the stop, you're already out of luck.

The book will be available in bookstores beginning Sept. 27, according to Springsteen's website, and the singer will kick off his book tour with an appearance at the Barnes & Noble on Route 9 in Freehold.

Tickets are required for the event, and according to EventBrite, the ticket seller, the stop already is sold out.

Not only that, but section of the store where his appearance is being held will be closed to anyone who does not have a ticket while Springsteen is there: "Anyone without a ticket will not be permitted to line up nor will you be allowed in or near the event space," according to the site.

Springsteen's appearance begins at noon but those who purchased tickets will be able to purchase pre-signed copies of his book starting at 7 a.m. that day.

Springsteen also will be appearing in New York on Wednesday, Sept. 28; those tickets are already sold out as well.

Tickets have not yet gone on sale for his scheduled appearance in Philadelphia on Thursday, Sept. 29, according to the Free Library of Philadelphia, where Springteen will appear.

He also is scheduled to appear Oct. 7 at the New Yorker Festival, where he will do a 90-minute interview with reporter David Remick. Tickets for that appearance, at $85 apiece, go on sale Thursday, Sept. 14.
