635.1New York, New YorkPOWDML::MILLERMon May 09 1994 12:425
    The closest Barbra is coming to New England is Madison Square Garden in
    New York.  Tickets went on sale a while back for lots of dollars.  Not
    sure there are any available, although your friendly neighborhood
    scalper usually has a few...
    
635.2CheapNACAD2::HERTZBERGHistory: Love it or Leave it!Mon May 09 1994 14:262
    Sold out in about 3 minutes.  They're going for about $400 each from
    ticket agencies.

     Yeah, it only takes a few minutes to sell the couple of rows you
     didn't block out for the agencies first.

635.4got em 4 retail !FXODEV::PONCELoRyderWed May 11 1994 16:588
    	I can't believe what they are asking/getting for these. My sister
    in law stood in line, got a bracelet, got six (6) tickets at regular
    box office price.....we are going into nyc for this, and plan to spend
    what we did not give to the 'scalpers' on a good dinner and a limo !
    
    feels good to only pay retail.........specially for barbra

    		Hi JP,
    
    		Can you tell me what you paid for the tickets and where you
    		purchased them. I never saw them advertised in the Boston
    		area.
    
    		Liz :)
635.8paid retail $125FXODEV::PONCELoRyderWed May 18 1994 20:468
    we got them in NY, actually in Ardsley...a suburb. We had a choice of
    $40, or $125...we took the $125's....figured if we are going that far
    might as well go for it.
    
    I think it will be worth the money.......especially now that I hear
    what people are paying....

    She canceled a show in Southern Cal. last night due to laryngitis, so
    apparently the tour is going to be a day-to-day propsition...

    Umm, as soon as Rush Limbaugh leaves? Seriously, I haven't a clue. At
    least that's what people keep telling me.

    Barbra's 5 shows in NYC sold out in less than an hour.  My tickets are
    for the 23rd.  She's also playing on the 20th, 26th and two other
    dates.

Read some article in a magazine last night about how Barbra was being
chauffered past a billboard advertising her concerts with a line about
them being "the event of a decade," and she said she thought they should
read "the event of a lifetime" ... gag ...
635.19LEDS::BURATIhuman crumple zoneThu Jun 02 1994 16:012
Maybe "the event of HER lifetime"

635.20ECRU::CLARKChairman of the BoredThu Jun 02 1994 16:301
Yeah, with all the money she's making, I expect it would be.
635.21No Gimmicks...WoW showFXODEV::PONCELoRyderFri Jul 01 1994 18:179
     Went last weekend  to her NY show. It was worth the $125 !!!! this was
    a 1st class act from beginning to end.....lighting/staging/orchestra
    etc. was perfect....Garden was all carpeted ! She sang for 2 hours and
    has a set of pipes that blow you away in person.
    
    This was/is NOT an electric light show with inflated animals and yahoo
    props.....the Lady sings..........

    You mean she's not doing that bit where her inflated ego floats out

635.24Humble No, just a singerFXODEV::PONCELoRyderWed Jul 06 1994 14:2912
     re -1  Nope, none of that, she sang..that was it. I'm no big Barbra
    fan BUT ya got to acknowledge the voice. She's pushin 50, hits notes
    that amaze.
    
    Plenty of bigger egos than hers out there without half the talent she
    displays.
    
    Worth the price of admission.......entertainment........
    
    Better than the last RUSH concert !!!!

    No doubt...I'd much rather see Streisand than Limbaugh...

    	RE: Jerry
    
    	Oh, I'd never debate her talent.  I happen to like her voice
    	alot, and have actually listened to at least one of her al-
    	bums.
    
    	She's got excellent range and "vocal stamina" [I can't think
    	of the word that I believe would replace "vocal stamina"].

                      "vocal stamina" = brass ovums?
    
    I like her, too.  In small doses...  I'd go to the concert if it was
    easy enough.

Well, I gotta give you credit for seeing Rush and Barbra in the same lifetime!

I've never seen Barbra, though I'd see her if someone gave me a ticket.  I've
seen Rush about 10 times, though, and they always pleased me (especially 7th
row center!)
