Soaring black market prices for tickets to see pop idol Hannah Montana have enraged parents
We have all seen the recent flurry about the rising ticket prices for our star, but wow, it’s getting quite out of control I would say. The secondary market has sky-rocketed for Hannah Montana tickets in recent weeks. The officially priced at $25-$65 for a show on Monday in Seattle were for sale on one major private on-line ticket brokerage for between $163-$393. The seats near the stage for the November 7, 2008 performance in Los Angeles were $2,427 each. This is absolutely amazing, and a bit sickening. If you have been able to get tickets, how much did you have to pay?
Your posting makes it sound like you’re actually proud of the fact that people across this country are being bilked “to see your star”. You want my comment, “Well, you make me sick”, and I came here planning to send a discrete e-mail about what I thought of the whole thing, but after reading “How much are you paying for your seats to see our star?” in the cavalier manner in which it is presented here, I realize that you and “your star” welcome the attention this fiasco is bringing you, and I hope other households choose to do what we are doing, which is blocking the Disney channel from our cable box, and removing Hanna Montana and all other Disney products from our Christmas shopping lists.
