Fans are turning their backs on Barbra Streisand's new tour because of
outrageous ticket prices, according to reports.
The diva is struggling to sell out concerts where tickets cost up to
$800 each and promoters are concerned, claims PageSix.
Fans are also annoyed the tour comes six years after her official
'farewell tour' and frustrated by Streisand's reluctance to commit to
promised charity donations, which means ticket-buyers can't write off the
cost as a tax deduction.
A source tells PageSix, "Some cities (like) Detroit, where they
wanted to do two days, are less than 3,000 sold."
The site claims promoters are considering changing venues for the tour
- which kicks off in October (06) - and putting on shows in smaller
auditoriums.
Streisand's tour spokesman Ken Sunshine insists the reports are false,
blasting, "That is bulls**t. Tickets are going through the
moon."
Meanwhile, the 64-year-old is facing lawsuits from disgruntled fans who
bought tickets to her 2000 tour believing it to be her last.
