Henry reports from the ticket line for Barbra Streisand concerts at the San Jose Arena, where fans waited overnight only to be shut out. His opening is classic: "Would you believe these people just won the opportunity to spend big bucks?" The piece captures the frenzy — one woman "drove all the way from Portland, Oregon to get tickets" — and the frustration when seats sold out faster than expected.
