Who Can Afford to Love Miley Cyrus?

My daughter is 5. She has moved recently into different musical tastes. She is no longer interested in seeing Laurie Berkner or The Wiggles in concert. “Oh, yuck!” she exclaimed.
Nope, she recently informed me she wants to see The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus in concert.
*sigh*
Unless you have been living in the back woods without electricity lately, you know all about the last Miley Cyrus tour, the expense of the tickets and how in-demand they were. Tickets were expensive to begin with, but once they got bought up by bulk resellers and scalpers, they become positively unaffordable.
The fan base for Miley Cyrus is young girls. Their parents are the ones forking over the dough for the tickets. And, there is obviously disposable income left in this society, or entertainers would not be able to demand and get such high prices.
I had to tell my daughter I could not afford for her to see Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers in concert. She is 5. Her abstract reasoning has not kicked in yet. She just could not understand.
And now I am seeing how Cyrus is celebrating her 16th birthday at Disneyland out in California and tickets to the party will be a mere $250.
What?
They go on sale August 30 and the event is expected to sell out quickly.
Don’t people have food and gas to buy?
They are priced high, but at least some of the proceeds will be going to a charity that supports youth enrichment programs. It is good to see a young celebrity like Miley helping out.
I was unaware of that.
It is still out of the price range I woudl spend to take a fice-year-old to a concert or event.
