Hannah Montana Ticket Crisis
Children’s parents everywhere are throwing fits due to the fact that they can’t get a hold of Hannah Montana tickets. Hannah Montana is a television show based on a teenage girl, Miley Stewart, who lives a double life. She has a secret identity at night as a pop superstar, Hannah Montana. Miley/Hannah is played by Miley Cyrus, who is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus (whose claim to fame is the song and album Achy Breaky Heart). Billy Ray Cyrus also plays Miley’s dad/manager on the show.
The show has become so popular that Disney, the owner of the show, has created a whole line of Hannah Montana products. Miley Cryus is even going on tour now, where she will perform half of her songs as herself, and the other half as her alter-ego, Hannah Montana. Ticket prices for the concert have gone through the roof, due to some companies buying all the tickets and reselling them for big profit, as you can read in this article. Ticketmaster is even suing one of the companies, and parents are getting angrier than ever because they can’t make their kids happy.
This so called “crisis” doesn’t make sense to me at all. I thought our society was supposed to worry about more important things, like I don’t know, maybe the war in Iraq or the ever-increasing gas prices. Of course, I can understand why people are getting upset. It’s not fair that these big corporations have bought out all these tickets and are reselling them for unbelievable prices. I would be pretty upset myself if I couldn’t get tickets for something that I really wanted to see. But for crying out loud, this is Hannah Montana. This girl isn’t even real! It’s Miley Cyrus in a blonde wig lip-syncing a bunch of songs about who knows what.
I think that these parents should suck it up and tell their kids to get over it. Maybe they shouldn’t spoil their kids so badly that they’re used to getting everything they want. I don’t think that their children will die or not turn out normal if they don’t get to see the Hannah Montana concert. Besides, she’s not even that good at lip-syncing.
I completely agree with miss g4rubber on this subject. The prices are indeed a tad bit too high, and yada yada yada, shame on those companies. Get real though! It’s absolutely ridiculous that this is making world news, and is creating the hysteria that it is. Come on people, it’s Hannah Montana, a Disney star. The bigger problem is that she’s just a teenager who sings and makes millions. That money that parents are spending to let their child see a concert should maybe be put towards something important, like lets say college for example. Yes, it is ridiculous that the prices are so high, but your child will probably be begging for a pony or something else next week, and will have completely have forgotten about the “can’t miss, once in a lifetime” Hannah Montana concert.
