Hot Tickets

I know a small number of Hannah Montana tickets went on sale today at noon for the concert in Tampa later this month. Someone, the venue released additional tickets after the fact. More than 2,000 tickets went on sale and sold out in four minutes. The folks at the St. Pete Times Forum are under the impression this means 200 more people will get to see the concert. I think it just means more ticket sellers with higher prices and subsequently more empty sets in the long run. I saw someone selling a pair in the paper today for about $2000. Yikes.

I am looking for reports now to see if they had the same problem as before, which was that ticket re-sellers snapped up most of the inventory using software programs. The parents who simply want to buy two or three concert tickets never have a change in cases like that. There are sites online that specialize in hard to find concert tickets. I might hop over and see what kind of prices they have.
