The rocker known simply as The Boss, who forged a career singing about the hardscrabble life of the working man, will pair up with the Piano Man next month for a joint concert to benefit Barack Obama -- but don't expect a front-row seat if you're one of the people Bruce Springsteen sings about.

Tickets for the Springsteen-Billy Joel concert in New York City start at $500 and climb to $10,000.

Obama plans to attend the musical fundraiser at Hammerstein Ballroom on Oct. 16, the day after Obama's final debate with John McCain at Hofstra University, located several miles outside the city in Hempstead, N.Y.
