Considering she has the same fans as the Dixie Twits, there aren't enough funds to go around. The rich bit2he$ need to coordinate their tours better.

Poor Babs,

If it don't work out, she can always go back to garage sales .... she probably has some furniture left from the last one.

Maybe she can do a double tour with the Dixie Chicks, they can play small college clubs, where their brand of idiocy is bound to be loved.

I've never gotten Streisand--even before her politics offended me. Her voice was always too histrionic and melodramatic for me. She's no Ella Fitzgerald, let's just say that.

As far as tix prices go--I've paid as much as $300 for Kiss (and will do $1K for a meet and greet next time), and about $200 for Alice Cooper (Front row, "We're not worthy!)

But even Madonna is seeing a drop off in ticket sales, isn't she? It's not just politics and ticket price, it's also the market place. Streisand is no longer pop, the core of her audience are now senior citizens. Kudos for her for touring, but she's no longer culturally relavant.

Streisand and her promoters could teach Madonna a few things or two

Good to see journalism schools are still turning out the competent, precision writers.

She pledged to funnel millions from her tour to - what else, the Streisand Foundation - to “combat dangerous climate changepay her lawn watering bill and her special bathroom outfitted coach she uses to shop on Rodeao Drive and other causes.

For that sum fit for a princess, you get a room at a five-star hotel, transportation to and from the arena, a pre-dinner reception and a souvenir to remember the night by.

The souvenir? Wish I could photoshop a pair of those Groucho glasses into one with a huge nose and crossed-eyes.

Did you ever see her website. It's full of insanely overpriced crappy trinkets.

She's like Mr. Haney with saggier boobs.

The public speaks and at some point these ticket prices get stupid,”

The prices aren't the only thing that has gotten stupid.

Well, this can't be possible. She already did her Farewell Tour 10 years ago.

The 64-year-old crooner

Babs was old news by the mid-1970s. Most of her loyal followers are probably in nursing homes.

These old hacks think they can dust off their songs from 3 decades ago and people will pay to see them.

Streisand is the most over-rated singer ever.

Wasn't it just ten years ago that Streisand burned off her nose?

I am happy to say I can't name a single song that she sings. Maybe I would recognize one if I heard it...

Even if tickets were only 50 cents I wouldn't waste my time going to hear this old bag of hot air.
