Ok – I started something. I ranted a little to let off some steam and it turned into something huge. My post on the Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana ticket scalping has risen to the top of the Hot Topic stack in just a matter of days. The article has been getting hit like crazy from angry parents across the US who bought into the Miley world fan club in order to get pre-sale tickets to the tour only to be told the shows were sold out just minutes. At this moment, the comments are about to top 100, so I just wanna add one little, tiny addendum to all this hoopla…
It’s not Miley’s fault. Let’s back up a second and think about this. She’s what…15? I’d be really surprised if she even knows that this is going on. And if she does know, I can almost guarantee she has NO control over it whatsoever. My college degree is in Music Business. I’ve studied the ins and outs of the entertainment industry from recording contracts to touring. I had one class that spent almost two-third of the semester just covering Disney and their way of doing things and how to handle a contract with Disney alone. That being said, I just want folks to give the girl a break.
Yes, my kids are disappointed that that they didn’t get tickets either, but we will still support Miley and her music. Please don’t overlook the fact that she is recording vibrant, positive music that promotes self-esteem, a much needed message among young girls these days. I would rather my pre-teen girls listen to Miley than some boy-crazy mush by other artists.
I do agree that something fishy is going on here with the tickets and only time will reveal the truth, but let’s not blame Miley for this mess. She has no control over this. She is just a girl caught in the middle.

I just wanted to say that some of you don’t realize how many of those seats were reserved for “special” people. Personally, I had a meet and greet pass and front seats. I got them because the studio I record at is the brother studio of HR. Some people don’t even realize how much pressure it is when people hate you for something you have no control over. The presale does exist. Her tickets are just demanded by so many children throughout the US.
Be sure to catch my new album August 24!
Also catch me guest starring on
the next season of Wizards Of Waverly Place.
Thanks!

For those of you who don’t know about the article that I’m refering to, go to WSJ.com(Hannah Montana Battles The Bots). Among other things, it states that up to 80% of tickets to some shows can be purchased by scalpers using software provided by RMG Tech. 80%???? That really explains a lot!!!

Thanks,Bill, for the info on the Tennessee BBB. Filed a comlaint this a.m. Also contacted RMG Tech and basically told them that many people had been alerted to their scam by the WSJ article. Received an email from Ed Garibay at ed@rmgtech.com stating that it was a shame that people believed the WSJ story and that Ticketmaster was “loving it”. I didn’t expect the truth or an apology, but to listen to him put down this newspaper made me really angry. I’m sure that they dug deep to figure out how this company was involved.
Go to petitiononline.com and type in Hannah Montana or Ticketmaster. Over 5000 signatures from unhappy consumers. That’s a Hell of a lot of people-and many more don’t know that these petitions exist so pass it on!!!!
