well, the knoxville one sold out in 10 minutes so I didn't get any tickets! The people on the radio said that people were so mad!!!
I must really be going mad with this obsession I have about the selling and re-selling of these Miley Tickets. When I began to notice these brokers and scalpers selling tickets for way high and how they had bought lots and lots I begin to look into the legal aspect of all this (my DH is a investigator). I knew Tennessee had no re-sell laws but I wanted to see what other states where doing. And the results where off the wall. More and more states are letting the laws lapse when it comes to re-sell. They are saying that it is going to happen anyway, so people can buy tickets and sell them for what ever they want. (you know people are going to do drugs anyway also but we don't make them legal) Brokers (high paid scalpers) of course where overjoyed at this because they say Ticketmaster has had the hold long enough. (Ticketmaster was selling tickets for $53.00 not $253.00 like scalpers) The brokers and scalpers says this is free-trade.
Well if you happen to go to the Stub-Hub website (and a few others) they, yesterday, had tickets for sale to Hannah Montana concerts that had not even gone on sale to the pre-sale people yet. (I emailed them and asked them how this can be and as of this morning have not got an answer back but I did notice you can't them anymore. The only one who e-mailed me back was a guy from Rupp Arena in Ky and told me this was false that they where only offering what they hoped to have) And if you look at tickets for the Hartford, Connecticut show (at Stub-Hub), you and your kids can sit on the floor for $25,000.00 A TICKET. How is this free-trade? A $63.50 ticket is now being sold at 400 times the orginal price. ANd if the state laws are not going to do anything about this then the only ones who will suffer will be us poor and middle class who don't have the means of tying up ticket offices and grabbing up tickets like brokers and scalpers do and don't have the money to pay house payment prices on shows.
I am losing my mind on this I know. I just get so fired up about injustice that I want to start a boycott war and march to Washington.![]()

DD asked me yesterday how her friend had tickets if they weren't even on sale yet. I didn't have the answer. Turns out the mother bought them from a scalper who promises to deliver them in October. How can these scalpers promise certain seats?
My husband said it is because the brokers have contracts to purchase so many seats from each show. These contracts allow them to get their actual seats before they go on sale to the public.
Did anyone have any luck with the Minneapolis presale today? I tried for 12-15 minutes. The only thing that came up (after 4 or 5 attempts) was $66 tickets (when you include all the extra fees) in the NOSE BLEED section!! I can't/won't pay that price for the nosebleed section.
We are going to wait til Saturday for the regular sale & see if we have better luck.
Anyone have better luck?
I was able to get 4 tickets. I was on the site when it opened up. First time I put in my code it didn't work (didn't know they all had to be capital letters). Finally got it to work. I got section 133 - (Lower Level) Row L. Figured I best get them or I figured I might not get anything and I will be out of town on Saturday when the regular seats go on sale.

I was on immediately when they opened, also. Code worked just fine, but there was nothing available. We'll see what happens on Saturday.
For what it is worth, I was able to get tickets during the presale, but I couldn't get anything when the general public sale opened (not even single tickets). And I was online when the general public sale opened. This was for the Glendale (Phoenix) AZ show.
