twitterResort adds 2nd Streisand millennium show
Thursday, Nov. 18, 1999 | 11:16 a.m.
The Las Vegas Strip's MGM Grand hotel-casino said Barbara Streisand agreed to follow her New Year's Eve concert there with a second performance on the evening of Jan. 1.
Richard Sturm, president of entertainment and sports at MGM Grand Inc., said the Dec. 31 concert was essentially sold out in five hours last May, setting a Ticketmaster one-day record for a single event.
"This is truly a by-popular-demand decision, since the public refused to accept that they could not obtain tickets for what may be the final United States concert engagement by the most popular performing artist of our time" Sturm said in a statement.
Tickets for the Jan. 1 show go on sale Monday at 9 a.m. by calling Ticketmaster. As with the New Year's Eve performances, tickets will be priced at $500, $750, $1,500 and $2,500.
