As Hannah Montana Tickets Go For $3,000, Parents Go Nuts

Just say NO to any grossly overpriced entertainment or other nonessentials.

If indeed parents in unison all refused to buy the scalped tickets, I guarandamntee you that the second Hannah walked out to a room with a few hundred kids in it vs thousands, there would be a way made to make sure the real kids got tickets and not the scalpers.

BUT most parents don't care, they just want to please their little Ashley and Dylan no matter what the cost.

Idiots

Sorry an small mathmatical mistake, but the idea doesn't change

$3,000 in an average mutual fund
After 7 years = $6,000 in value
14= $12,000
21= $24,000
28= $48,000
35=$116,000
42=$332,000
49=$664,000
56=$1,028,000
63=$2,048,000

It doesn't take much to make your children rich without them working a single day in their lives. They'll thank you for it later. Most of us wish our parents would have saved that money for us when we were that age. None would worry about retirement or health care as we get older as we did out best to save for ourselves.

these parents, had they any common sense, would be wise to save the money for kiddy's college tuition. OR.....
save that money for Britney's Comeback Tour!
THAT will be worth losing the farm!

Parents seem to have lost their senses. Maybe kids may not know that $3,000 is an exorbitant price to pay for a ticket to a concert, but adults do.

And any parent who are unable to tell that to their child should have their parental licence yanked (if only there was such a thing...sigh.

I'm a parent, and do say similar things to my daughter on a regular basis.

tickets are a shame. its a con game the resellers play on the gullable public. Laws should be made across the nation. its a no brainer..... ticketmaster and ilk need wholesale reform. tickets must go to the public before any resellers get there greedy hands on them.

How about this:

Take the hundreds of $$$ you are willing to spend on a single ticket and along with your children take it down to the local soup kitchen/food pantry.

Don't feed your children to the gods of $$$$ when they are young. Let society do it naturally.

The market value is what people are willing to pay.

There should be a rule that you cannot purchase a large block of tickets only so sell at an exorbitant amount. But on the other hand, with a rule like that, E-bay would shut down.

What the hell is wrong with this country?The morons who are buying this tickets are in serious need of parenting classes.

this country is increasingly filled with dumbasses who think the way to raise a child is to buy and buy and buy because they have no idea how to teach values,morals or responsibility.The traditional role of the parent has been broken in the American family,and it might not be fixable.

I thought scalping tickets was illegal in most states. Anyway people are outraged, and pay anyway how is that going to help? If these scalpers buy 10 tickets and sell two they can burn the rest for all they care. The real solution is to not pay more then face value for the tickets. If the scalpers cannot sell a single ticket they would stop tomorrow.

Just heard the Minnesota Attorny General, Lori Swanson, is looking into this. Minnesota just passed a dumb law that legalizes ticket scalping.

The culprit here isn't Miley Cyrus, but the greedhead scalpers using what was perfectly legal software (until recently) to block buy all the good seats and resell them for huge premiums. These parasites should be put out of business yesterday.

Having said that, if Miley can get wealthy moronic parents to pony up 3G's for a ticket to her show, why shouldn't she? She should certainly be free to charge what she believes the market will bear, just as we're all free to not pay it if we don't want to.

STUPITY IS CATCHING, SOMEONE GET A NET.

That's crazy. Man, you can tell these kids are spoiled as hell. My mom wouldn't EVER pay $3000 for a damn concert ticket.

She sucks anyway..

Um,WHO THE FUCK IS HANNAH MONTANA!
I bet that the songs consist of saying the same word over and over,or the same sentence over and over for three minutes(like all the other "new" music I unfortunatly hear ever now and again)to a drum machine.WOW!Now thats talent,and damn sure worth $3 grand.
I believe that there is more talent in say one of Paul McCartneys farts or hell one of Ringos for that matter,than all the "top 40" acts COMBINED...ENJOY!:)

WHO has this kind of money to spend on concert tickets for thier child? Honestly HOW many parents can afford to do this? I would like to hear from some parents who are forking over these serious bucks for thier child.

You would have to be crazy to buy a ticket to see a manufactured jailbait singer for 3000 dollars.

Any parent who is stupid enough to pay even $300 let alone $3000 for a Montana ticket is beyond help and should be fitted with a strait jacket. What a waste of money!

Instead of enriching the scalpers, parents should invest the 3Gs for the little Heathers and their brothers to help offset the massive debts this administration is saddled upon them.

pathetic.

another reason why I'm glad I never had kids

Get real, if the parents don't cave, the kid will call her attorney.

Boycott the parents who will spend hundreds of $$$$ to buy a Hannah Montana concert ticket.

And it's not just the high $$$ parents who are doing this.

any parent who is so desperate to please Little Precious, the 12 y/o who holds the purse strings of an entire family, is an idiot.

Parents, Boycott this show
Boycott scalpers
if nothing else, think ahead to the precedent and relationship you are setting with your child.
Just go buy her the DVD box set or the album, or throw a HM party for her and her friends.
It's MADNESS
