Who got tickets to Miley's party?

[Sleepless Knight]

I work in an accounting office and we were discussing this today. According to internal revenue code, in order for a contribution to be tax deductible, it must be made directly to a qualified charitable organization. Since tickets were purchased directly from Disney and not the charity, none of the $250 is deductible. Anybody who purchased tickets to this event will not be able to legally deduct it on their tax return.

Without a letter from the charity thanking you for the donation and noting the amount of your contribution, claiming this as a charitable contribution will not stand up in an audit.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I didn't purchase the tickets through Disney. Disney had an outside company handle the ticket sales.
Once you clicked on purchase tickets, it sent you to an outside ticket seller.

We're flying down from Edmonton for the Miley party...me, my wife and my sister...and none of us are teenagers!

Yay! It makes me happy that I'm not the only non-teenager who's going who doesn't have younger siblings to use as an excuse, hehe.

Maybe we could all meet up I will be attending without kids too. I wonder what surprise gifts they will give out and if the Jonas Brothers will make it. I also wouldn't be surprised if the cast for HSM3 is there, since this will be taped and aired later. HSM3 comes out in October-right? I can't wait!!!!
