Hannah Montana Media Madness

I wrote about Hannah Montana a few weeks ago when her Target Center concert just hit the news, but in the last few weeks every local news station has covered a Hannah Montana story ranging from angry fan club members who didn’t get tickets to crying six year olds that stood outside of the Target Center the day they went on sale only to leave empty handed.

Everyone is wondering where all of the tickets went and this Target Center blogger is no exception. I know the secondary ticket market scooped up plenty of Hannah tickets. Checking sites like Ticket King Minnesota I see hundreds of seats for the 10/21 show, but I don’t see hundreds of really good seats. Where are all of the first 10 rows? If the fan club didn’t get them and the ticket brokers didn’t get them – who has them? Ticketmaster! Ticketmaster has Hannah Montana tickets locked up in the Premium Seats Auction section of their web site. Ticketmaster is becoming just like ticket brokers across the country and charging an arm and a leg for good Hannah Montana seats.

I know many little girls are hoping to win Hannah Montana tickets, but will there be oodles and oodles of radio contests days before her big Target Center performance to score floor seats? I guess we will have to wait and see. If you want to be guaranteed a seat, be ready to pay big bucks. Hannah Montana fever is all over the Twin Cities!
