Celebs join frenzy for Hannah Montana Tickets

Miley Cyrus sure is a busy little bee. Her shows sell out in minutes and she shows no signs of slowing down by adding 14 more shows to her January 2008 schedule. Even celebrities like Nicole Richie and Steven Spielburg have gotten tickets for The Best of Both World's concerts. Last night, she did a pre-show interview in Canada much to the delight of her Canadian fans. Here is a synopsis of the interview as told by Victoria Ahearn of the Canadian Press.



Squeaky-clean Cyrus may have hottest tour of year, but still gets grounded
By Victoria Ahearn, THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Miley Cyrus, star of the Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" TV show, has trudged through a mess of controversy on her "Best of Both Worlds Tour," which lands in the city this weekend.

Shows have sold out in as little as four minutes, resulting in many disappointed tween admirers and their parents. Some members of the Miley Cyrus fan club even launched a class-action lawsuit, arguing they were supposed to get first dibs on tickets and didn't.

Then there was the pregnancy rumour and whispers of weight gain.

Through it all, the 15-year-old has remained remarkably down-to-earth. She still gets an allowance and has even been grounded by her father - "Achy Breaky Heart" singer Billy Ray Cyrus - while on tour.

"It was because I was being a smart aleck, I deserved it. I was smarting off," Cyrus said in an interview ahead of her Saturday show at the Air Canada Centre - her only Canadian stop.

Cyrus acknowledges that the hype surrounding the tour is "definitely stressful," but says she's surrounded by good people, including her famous dad.

"You know - you've got your manager, you've got your this, you've got your that, like, they all know so much more than you do and so I just try to stay out of it," she said in her trademark raspy voice.

The Nashville native with the big blue eyes and long chestnut hair became an overnight sensation a year and a half ago with the launch of the "Hannah Montana" show, which airs on Family Channel in Canada.

The popular series stars the spunky Cyrus as Miley Stewart, who leads a secret dual life as a high school student by day and the pop star Hannah Montana at night.

For the first half of her live shows, Cyrus is in character wearing the blond Hannah Montana wig and singing the breezy, sugary pop songs from the series' hit soundtracks.

She closes the show as herself, cranking out tunes from her own pop debut album "Meet Miley Cyrus," released with the "Hannah Montana 2" disc in June.

Her dad - who no longer sports his famous mullet - plays her father and manager on the show.

The tween queen, who has four siblings, said her parents have been very supportive of her decision to get into show biz.

"They basically just told me whatever I want to do, just to follow my dream," said Cyrus, who wore a purple sweater dress during the interview.

"My mom was super, super supportive and really was very into this, you know, me kind of finding my own thing to do."

Cyrus's squeaky-clean image is a refreshing contrast to some of the other scandal-plagued pop stars on the scene.

Her tour has been one of the hottest tickets of the year, attracting celebs including Nicole Richie, Heidi Klum, Steven Spielberg and Kobe Bryant.

And Cyrus, who was born Destiny Hope and now lives in Los Angeles, said she's doing what she can to help with the ticket demand.

She recently added more dates, but said it's impossible to make everyone happy, adding she'd have to tour "for months and months" to allow everyone to see her show.

Want Hannah Montana tickets: Here's How To get them

First you could enter a contest and win tickets. Those are a long short but people do win. In the latest most publicized contest a devoted father, whose inspiration was his 7 year old daughter Hannah, triumphed over 20 contestants to win four tickets to a sold out Hannah Montana concert.

Jody Powell, 35, spent six days hanging on to a twelve foot statue of "Hannah Montana" in the parking lot of radio station WFLZ-FM, the contest's sponsor to win the tickets to the sold out Hannah Montana concert starring the Disney Channel's Miley Cyrus. The concert will be held this week in Tampa, Florida.

The contest started Nov. 8. They were allowed 12-minute breaks every three hours and got catered meals, but weren't allowed books, cell phones or iPods according to the Associated Press.

Powell was declared the winner Wednesday afternoon when the other remaining contestant, Lara Padgett, became distracted and let go.

"I'm ecstatic. It's like a dream come true," said Powell, holding four tickets to the show and a photo of his fiancee with her 7-year-old daughter.

You could purchase tickets at resale prices.

"Hannah Montana tickets are obviously the hottest tickets around. The resale value is stagging.
According to Star reporter David Lidquist "the asking price for a second-row ticket is $1,840, with individual balcony seats in the neighborhood of $150. These tickets originally were sold for $56 and $26." It's quite a resale frenzy.

Parents who are desperate to make their children's dreams a reality are driven to tears by the high prices.

“Her initial response was to hold back tears, I think,” Messang said of her daughter's response to the sellout. “Then it was, ‘That's OK, Mom. It’s not the end of the world.’ ”

Ticket broker Harrison said “Hannah Montana” tickets will stay hot on the resale market as long as parents want their youngsters to attend.

Parents are being blamed for the tickets being so high because they are willing to shell out the cash for the tickets. Kids don't buy tickets parents do. It is quite unusual for a family event to be so extremely popular.

Anyone hoping to get tickets to the sold-out “Hannah Montana” concert Dec. 9 at Conseco Fieldhouse faces the prospect of paying big bucks to a broker.



You can bid for tickets.

Some of the money procured from the outrageously priced 'Hannah Montana' tickets is going toward more philantropic endeavors. Tickets are being auctioned off by radio stations for worthy causes. I guess this is to soothe guilty consciences about asking so much for a kid concert. Just making your child happy may not be enough to keep consciences at bay.

“The Bob and Tom Show” on radio station WFBQ-FM (94.7) auctioned off four tickets to the show, four backstage passes, an autographed Christmas ornament signed by “Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus and supporting act "The Jonas Brothers", limousine transportation to and from the concert and dinner for four before the show.The minimum bid is $1,000.

The Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent was the lucky recipient of some of this "Hannah Montana" Money. Proceeds will be used for educational and entertainment technology to help children and their families pass time together during chemotherapy sessions.

According to Renny Harrison of local brokerage company Circle City Tickets, consumer demand and prices set by his company are higher for the “Hannah Montana” show than for any other concert in Conseco Fieldhouse history.

Fewer than 8,000 tickets sold out within minutes in September when the Nov. 25 Greensboro show went on sale at the box office and Ticketmaster. Another 5,000 went to fan clubs. Tickets at much higher prices almost immediately appeared for sale at online broker sites.

Coliseum officials didn't know late Friday how many of the new tickets would be available. They had been asking promoters for more seats because of the local demand, coliseum Managing Director Matt Brown said.

And most, like Greensboro, are requiring the matching credit card and ID to fend off online brokers.

Greensboro attorney Jeffrey Peraldo represents his wife and another family who are suing online brokers. The extra tickets is "awesome" news, he said.

"I think that's fabulous," Peraldo said. "Because now it allows families to attend the concert at face value ... without paying these prices that these online scalpers are charging."

The only problem, he said, is that the online scalping continues. He hopes the courts will step in and demand online scalpers stop operating in North Carolina.
