There are still tickets. Is she still a big draw ?

Well she totally sold out Brooklyn in minutes and a 2nd show was added and also sold out immediately. Scalpers and ticket agencies are now selling tickets for 5k each. So you tell me, is she still a big draw??? Im going on Sat Oct 13 and can not wait!!! Surely one of the highlights of my Fall season.

So not true about her 2 Brooklyn dates selling out within minutes. The 2nd show was added and tickets were still available for the 1st date. Tickets for the 2nd date were still available for weeks afterwards. I guess the true (and original) Streisand fans are either dead or simply can not afford to buy tickets with their Social Security checks. Its quite obvious Streisand's concert madness ended with her 2006 tour. Love Barbra, though (not a hater here).

Well both Brooklyn shows are sold out and have been sold out for weeks now while the Philly show hasn't even gone on sale yet. So I'm having a hard time understanding the "She's no longer a draw" argument.

Neither Brooklyn Show is sold out. You can still get tickets (good seats) from Ticketmaster - not resellers, right now. The ticket $$ are crazy. You add the new "tour dates" which will not sell out, and now it is not special. Philly is opening night now for $ 500.00. The same show in Brooklyn is $650.00 - 3 days later. $$$$$$. Yes, I am going to all 3 - I am insane.

Got tickets to the Philly date through presale. The cheapest sections (still $90 a piece plus fees) were sold out, as well as the lower levels for the next cheapest sections ($175). So I got upper level tickets at $200 a pop when all is said and done.
