MCD to pay out €671,000 over Streisand debacle

CONCERT promoter MCD was last night facing a bill as high as €671,000 to compensate fans after July’s Barbra Streisand spectacular turned into a rain-sodden farce.

A two-month internal inquiry concluded yesterday that poor seating arrangements, badly behaved fans, the artist’s management and MCD were to blame for the chaos at Co Kildare’s Castletown House.

Concert-goers paid as much as €551.75 to see the US singer perform her hits but were unable to find their seats while car parking was thrown in chaos by poor signing and bad weather.
