Streisand tickets cost more than Stones
Published Tuesday, May 1 2007, 11:50 BST | By Matthew Houghton
Tickets for a one-off Barbara Streisand concert are to cost more than the tickets for the Rolling Stones' A Bigger Bang tour.
The performer will charge fans up to £500 for tickets to the event, with the cheapest seats available for £100.
The show will be the singer's first UK show in 13 years and will take place at the new O2 Arena - formerly London's Millennium Dome.
The ticket prices dwarf the likes of Madonna and the Rolling Stones, who both charged around £150 for seats at their concerts.
However, a spokesperson for Streisand defended the decision saying, "If you think that FA Cup final tickets are going for £1,600, you get some sort of context."
