What Would You Do For Hannah Montana
I’ve been amazed by the national crisis that has broken out over Hannah Montana tickets. The first time tour for this Disney character (who is really Miley Cirus) hit the news wires, it was due to the fact that tickets for her shows had sold out faster than most any show ever in most locations. It was revealed that a majority were snapped up by massive ticker resellers who were using software to hoard the inventory. Parents immediately began to complain about the prices they would need to pay if they wanted to take their kids to the concerts. What it amounted to for most parents was skipping the concert or pay a scalper.
I agree that the situation is sad. It may also mean that venues that are technically sold out will actually have empty seats come concert time.
Now I am hearing about contests all over the nation where parents are doing crazy stuff in order to win tickets for their children. Right here in the Tampa area, 20 parents are holding out to be the last one touching a 12-foot Hannah Montana in order to win four tickets to the Best of Both Worlds concert tour, backstage passes and $5,000. The concert is November 19 at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa.
The Hannah Monstrosity contest is being held by the “MJ Morning Show” on WFLZ. It began this morning at 7:57 and will last until Nov. 18, the day before concert. I’m seriously curious to see if parents will hold out that long. They get as 12-minute break every three hours.
Seems to me is all about bladder control and the ability to tune out the rest of the world. Might be a great time for some of the busy moms to get in some serious daydreaming.
I love my daughter. I do. I really do. But, I am pretty sure I would not endure such a contest simply for concert tickets. I want to teach Gigi to have a handle on priorities and what is a wise trade-off for something you want. I personally believe that no concert ticket is worth that much.
Come on, she sings well, it would be a great concert
– there’s no endurance there unless you want it to be. It’s best to just get used to it.
