Fury over Streisand ticket prices
Italian consumer groups angered by the €900 top ticket price are calling for Barbra Streisand’s June 15 in Rome’s Stadio Flaminio to be banned.
"Organisers of the Streisand concert are charging more than three times what other big stars like the Rolling Stones and Justin Timberlake are,” complains Codacons spokesman Stefano Zerbi. “This is unfair towards the young and the less well off. “We wouldn't have a problem if the concert was taking place in a private building, but because the stadium is a publicly-owned structure, the city's officials are acting as accomplices to this form of discrimination.”
As previously revealed in Hot Press, premium tickets for the Irish leg of Babs’ European tour are being auctioned online, with the minimum bid an eyewatering €585.
Perhaps Eddie Hobbs may care to intervene.
