Ban Babs

The Italian Olympic Committee is being asked to can Barbra Streisand's Rome dates as the ticket prices are too high. Italian consumer groups Adusbef and Codacons are up in arms:

The 24,000-seat stadium "is public property and cannot be used for immoral deals that are shameful to a civilized country", Adusbef and Codacons said.

Which is a good point, but appealing to an Olympic Committee's better nature is a hiding to nothing - they're living in a world where money gets burned through to no good purpose every day, so they'd probably just suggest the fans who can't afford tickets get shirt sponsorship deals or something.
