NASHVILLE (Billboard) - Barbra Streisand is in talks to launch a concert tour in the fall, her first since a brief "farewell" trek in 2000, her manager said Tuesday.

The possibility was first raised in a gossip column in Tuesday's issue of the New York Post, but its assertion that ticket prices would top out at $1,500 was incorrect, a source close to her camp told Billboard.com.

"A tour is being explored, but nothing has been finalized, including important aspects not entertained in the media speculation today," Streisand's manager Marty Erlichman told Billboard.com. "As soon as this is resolved one way or the other -- she may not go out -- the facts will be announced."

Sources say Rolling Stones promoter Michael Cohl is in talks to produce the Streisand tour. History shows that Streisand, who turns 64 next month, has not balked at exorbitant ticket prices, and that consumers have not balked at paying them.

Outside of a John Kerry fundraiser in 2004, Streisand's last public performances were September 27-28, 2000, at Madison Square Garden, two sellouts that grossed $14.4 million. Ticket prices for that show, billed as Streisand's farewell, were $2,500, $1,275, $375 and $150, according to Billboard Boxscore.

Streisand charged the same prices for September 20-21 shows that year at Staples Center, grossing $12.6 million. Millennium sellouts at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas grossed $18.2 million, with tickets topping out at $2,500.

Streisand has previously been credited with shattering the glass ceiling on concert prices with her 1993-94 tour, which sold out 22 dates with tickets as high as $350. That outing grossed nearly $60 million.
