NSW: Barry White tickets will go on sale

Managers for the Sydney SuperDome have lost their bid to stop a concert promoter from
selling tickets to BARRY WHITE shows at the rival Entertainment Centre.

Lawyers for the SuperDome went to the New South Wales Supreme Court yesterday to stop
PAUL DAINTY Consolidated Entertainment from selling tickets to the soul singer's shows.

They claim the promoter is in breach of a stipulation not to promote an act at the
other centre without giving the SuperDome the right of first refusal.

They also argued BARRY WHITE'S November 23 and 25 shows should be held at their venue
and not at the Entertainment Centre at all.

The promoter's lawyers countered that the SuperDome, with its 20,000 set capacity,
was too big for the BARRY WHITE's style of show.

Justice WILLIAM WINDEYER, in ruling against the injunction, says the evidence shows
the smaller venue is more suitable for BARRY WHITE as it's unlikely more than 11,000 seats
will be sold.
