Meet Bruce for charity

Bruce Springsteen returns to Ireland this July and you could be in with a chance of getting up close and personal with the New Jersey legend.

Springsteen has teamed up with charity auction site Charitybuzz to give one lucky fan (plus a pal) the opportunity to see his three sold out shows with VIP seats. Not only that, you then meet the man himself down in Cork.

The fans will get a choice of first tier or front "pit" section seats, as well as E Street Lounge passes. Additionally, they'll receive a two-night hotel stay in Limerick, Cork and Belfast.

Bidding on the experience, valued at $25,000, is open until May 22 at [link]www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/351934[/link].

Proceeds go to The Kristen Ann Carr Fund, a non-profit that provides grants for cancer research.
