Streisand's New Year's Eve Concert Sets All-Time Box-Office Record10 January 2000Barbra Streisand's New Year's Eve concert production, "Timeless," at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas set an all-time single concert box-office record of $14,694,750. Richard Sturm, president of MGM Grand Entertainment (NYSE: MGG), announced the totals today on the sellout of the 12,477 tickets. The previous record gross, as tabulated by the industry's Pollstar Magazine, was $13.4 million achieved by Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti and Jose Carreras at Giant Stadium in New York on July 20, 1996. The concert also established another record last April when tickets were first made available via Ticketmaster, establishing the largest one-day sale for a single event, entertainment or sports, in Ticketmaster's 33 year existence. |
