It's back, and it's bigger than ever.

The third onsale for "Springsteen on Broadway" tickets began 10 am. Tuesday for 70 shows, this time through the end of June.

Tickets for the 74 shows were sold out by 2:30 p.m.

Fans received notice of whether they would be able to purchase tickets, or if they were on the dreaded "standby" status, in the Ticketmaster "Verified Fan" system. As of late Monday, there were a lot of fans on "standby," according to social media postings.

"*sigh* Standby for the 3rd time. I give up," replied a fan to a Springsteen tweet about the onsale.

"The amount of people that are being told that they're on standby is staggering in relation to those notified that they will be getting a code along with an access window and a time in the morning," said Boss fan Pete Maimone of Howell. "We all thought that it would be a much more equitable distribution this time around given the fact that there's twice as many shows and a much smaller pool of buyers who have not been able to purchase tickets thus far."

There were no additional fan registrations for this round of tickets. The pool consists of those who received a code to purchase tickets and did not have the time to do so, or those who were previously on "standby" status.

If you are on "standby," it might be best to standby.

"There will be people who for whatever reason can't act on their code and that will give more chances to those who are ready and available," Maimone said.

The tickets come in two price ranges, $500 to $850 and $75 to $400, and there is a two ticket limit per customer.

The Verified Fan system seeks to differentiate real fans from software, or bots, used by scalpers. Bruce Springsteen is starring in "Springsteen on Broadway" at the Walter Kerr Theatre.

"The only question remaining is how many many tickets will show on Stub Hub and other scalper sites within minutes of the onsale," Maimone said. "But I'm also optimistic that as Bruce fans always do, we take care of our own and we will find a way to get the majority of the people in."
