Barbra Streisand fans, there just weren't enough of you in the Detroit area to keep a local Streisand show on the schedule.
Because Detroit was the only city with a "lagging response," Streisand's national promoter Michael Cohl has removed the Oct. 18 performance at The Palace of Auburn Hills from the schedule and put a second Toronto concert on sale for that day.

Fans who bought tickets for the Metro Detroit show will get refunds and an exclusive chance at blocks of tickets set aside for them in Columbus, Ohio, on Oct. 6 or Toronto on Oct. 17. The promoter also will offer Detroiters who bought tickets an $85 credit toward transportation to either of those cities.

Ticketmaster will automatically refund the credit-card transactions, while those who bought tickets with cash can go to point of purchase for their refunds.

"We apologize to the dedicated Barbra Streisand fans in Detroit who had purchased tickets, but it was impossible not to accommodate the extraordinary demand in Toronto," said Cohl, whose Concert Productions International is presenting the tour. "… We are truly sorry for any inconvenience."
