Hannah Montana Takes On Ticket Scalpers

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 17:26:05 GMT

In case you didn't know, Miley Cyrus (a.k.a. Hannah Montana) is the biggest tour of the year. Yeah, I know. Kids get whatever they want. But anyway, her tour has gotten so big that it has inspired the state of Missouri to launch an investigation into ticket scalping.

Tickets for the Hannah Montana show are supposed to be $63, but they have been selling for upwards of $2,000 on various ticket scalping websites. Missouri's Attorney General Jay Nixon calls this a "blatant rip-off," and has filed a suit against several ticket-selling websites, including StubHub.com, TicketLiquidator.com and GoTickets.com. That's a ballsy move, Missouri. We knew they didn't call you the "Show Me State" for nothing.

It may be the year of the reunion, but the concert tickets that are going the fastest are for Miley Cyrus. Cyrus, best known as the TV character and pop singer Hannah Montana, announced a North American tour back in August. Now that tickets have gone on sale, they've been nearly impossible to get. Some of the venues -- and these are large venues we're talking about -- are selling out in as quickly as 4 minutes.

The VP of AEG Live, which is handling Cyrus' tour, compared it to the Beatles.
