More than 1,000 tickets for the first United States concert tour of Barbra Streisand in more than a decade have been invalidated because they were bought with stolen credit card information, The Associated Press reported yesterday.
Organizers announced that the tickets, bought through Ticketmaster, turned up on various Internet resale sites. With tickets priced at $100 to $750, the 19-performance tour is to begin in Philadelphia on Oct. 4. (Performances in Madison Square Garden are scheduled for Oct. 9 and 11.)
The national promoter, Michael Cohl, and Ms. Streisand’s manager, Martin Erlichman, warned that no one holding the invalidated tickets would be admitted.

I did not realize people who steal credit cards are such huge fans of Babs.

Only proper tickets, you know, the ones with all the misspellings, will be honored.

This is about the eighth post I've seen about this.
It's to bad for Bab's that she accepted tainted payment for tickets, but her agent issued the tickets and if she denies entry to anyone, I would think she would face huge legal problems.

So, when are they going to invalidate Babs Striving-in-the-sand as an invalid traitorous and therefore former citizen?
