Springsteen in Concert in Asbury Park

Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Thursday for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's two benefit rehearsal concerts at Convention Hall in Asbury Park.

The concerts are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, both at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $100, available through Ticketmaster phone charge. Beneficiaries for the concerts have not yet been announced.

Springsteen's new album, "Magic," will be released Oct. 2, and his tour with the E Street Band begins that night in Hartford, Conn.

Bruce will be appearing in shows October 5 and 6 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Oct. 9 and 10 at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, and Oct. 17 and 18 at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.

Springsteen has a long history of rehearsing and performing at Convention Hall, on the boardwalk at 1300 Ocean Ave. and Fifth Avenue, before his albums are released and his tours begin.

Speakers have been set up outside Convention Hall with local programming drowning out the live music, so you can't here the practice sessions.
