Ticket Takers

Hannah Montana

Anyone with a pre-teen daughter has heard of Hannah Montana. Her recent concert tour, and the attendant high-speed sellout of tickets, actually prompted investigations by the Attorneys General of Arkansas and Missouri. E! News has a good summary on its site. An article from the Los Angeles Times offers another in-depth look at the tour and the fallout over scarce tickets.

Several current tours are triggering similar fan angst, if not quite at the level the Hannah Montana one did. Try googling for “police tickets” and count the ads for ticket brokers.
