Barbra Streisand Is Still The Oldest Diva

Despite their hefty price tag, tickets for Barbra Streisand's first UK gig in 13 years sold out in just 20 minutes today.

The music legend has now added a second date at London's O2 arena.

Streisand drew criticism over the price of the tickets as the cheapest seats at the venue, formerly known as the Millennium Dome, cost £100, whilst the most expensive are £500.

However, fans still raced to snap them up when they went on sale at 9am today.

They are already being advertised on online auction site eBay with one seller asking £2,499 for a pair, with the message: "Tickets for this show are like gold dust."

The original O2 gig on July 18 will now be followed by another on July 22.
