Hannah Montana-gate

This whole Hannah Montana ticket thing is absolutely blowing up.

People around here aren't the only ones distressed by their inabiilty to buy concert tickets, even after waiting in line early in the morning at the Greensboro Coliseum box office.

Fans are mad all over at the instant sellouts created by scalpers buyng up huge blocks of tickets on the Internet.

Your source for Hannah Montana news, The Wall Street Journal, reports that Ticketmaster is hoping to strike back with technology.

Shhh! We're trying to keep the girls from finding out that HM/MC is even coming to town. High School Musical gave us our fill of high-pitched screams and cackles.

some parents were paying over a thousand dollars to send their daughter to that concert...
we went to the ticket window at the entrance about half an hour before the show - and got three tickets, at $56 each....right behind the sound booth. And they still had more after i left.
so i'm thinking that "sold out" just means that they want higher prices for the tickets and want to generate some serious hype about the concert. NOT that there aren't any tickets to be had.
