Springsteen ticket/seating questions

Will be arriving in New York City this coming Thursday for a few days and would really love to see the Springsteen on Broadway show. Seems complicated on how to get tickets for people that are not part of the verified fan club. I see tickets on stub hub anywhere from $600-$1500. I’d like to know if anybody had any luck getting same day tickets at the box office either early in the morning or in a cancellation line.
I was also wondering what the face value is of the tickets in the orchestra and mezzanine as someone told me that face value could be up to $800. Is that the entire orchestra or front mezzanine. Is it a very small venue where most seats are very good with no obstructions.If I bite the bullet and pay hundreds of dollars where would be the ideal section to enjoy the show. For those people having seen the show is it worth paying close to $1000 for a seat.! Any comments will be greatly appreciated!!

I saw the show from a $75 seat in the balcony that I bought in advance. I did enjoy it a lot, but I personally don't feel it's worth spending close to $1,000 for a seat!

Verified Fan is long out of the picture. That was only a thing when the tickets went on sale. They're long sold out at this point.

From what I recall from last fall, balcony seats are $75, lottery seats are $75, mezz seats are around $400, and center orchestra premium seats are $850.

My friend did cancellation and told me the first people in line managed to get $850 third row center orch and they were thrilled!!!

We sat in row G of the mezzanine to the side and we paid $200 plus fees during the onsale.  Seats had a good view and we were happy we didn't spend more to be a few rows closer.

I got seats through ticketmaster.  I was on house right and about 5 rows from back on 3 seats in from aisle - the aisle between orchestra center and orchestra right).  I paid $400 per  ticket (face value).  I am going again in August and paid (again through TM) $500 per ticket.  Just a few rows in front of where we were for $400.  The party sitting next to us got same day seats from box office due to a cancellation.  Paid the $500 - but they were seats 1 and 2 on aisle . So you never know.. it's worth a try to swing by the box office.  I have several friends who purchased via StubHub and paid a premium and said it was worth it.  All depends on how much you like Bruce.  We LOVED it!!

I paid $300 for Orch M 10 (showing up as $500 there, so I think mine was a fluke?)
