DC Central Kitchen announced in an e-mail that they are auctioning off four tickets to Bruce Springsteen‘s May 18 show at the Verizon Center:

“DC Central Kitchen is auctioning four tickets to Bruce Springsteen’s May 18 show at the Verizon Center, complete with E Street Lounge Passes and the opportunity to meet Bruce himself! In addition to donating the tickets, Bruce has agreed to match your donation, up to $50,000.”

Is there a catch? Not really. You just need to have a lot money and a lot of love for Springsteen/Feeding the homeless.

Here’s the rub:

“A minimum bid of $10,000 (tax deductible after $385) for this package, gives you four seats in the lounge section (first tier above the floor) within the first five rows, and E Street Lounge passes that enable the auction winner to go backstage to relax in the lounge before the show, and a personal meet and greet with Bruce Springsteen.

Still really cool.
