Forget The Police, Justin Timberlake or Bruce Springsteen. The undisputed hottest concert ticket of the year is for 14-year-old pop star Miley Cyrus, star of the Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" TV show.So, what? Does this chick get naked or something?
Fans are so desperate for seats to her 54-date tour, kicking off later this month, that venues have sold out in as little as four minutes and scalpers are getting four to five times the face value — creating a torrent of complaints from frustrated parents.
About 12,000 seats for the Memphis show were gone in 8 minutes. It took 15 minutes in Columbus, Ohio, and swift sellouts have been reported across the country — Nashville, Miami, Lexington, Ky. The Kansas City Council is investigating the matter.
One ticket for the show in Charlotte, N.C., sold for $2,565. (H/T - Yahoo!)
These are the days I drop to my knees and thank God I do not have a girl - and pray to God that the missus is not currently carrying one. Do people realize that Led Zeppelin reunion tickets wouldn't go for this much. And they're Zeppelin!
Here's a barometer of what I would like to, but would not pay $2,565 for:
- Dinner with John Elway, Wayne Gretzky, Cal Ripken, and Jeff Gordon.
- A walk-on role during Battlestar Galactica - even if they let my fly a viper.
- A fully-functioning lightsaber.
