Scalpers Ruin Hannah Montana Show At Alltel Arena In North Little Rock Arkansas
If you don’t have a youngster that’s a big fan of Miley Cyrus, (aka Hannah Montana), then you probably won’t care much for this post. Wait a minute…this post is about ticket scalping so you may find yourself in a similar situation some day! Read on…
My daughter, like so many other youngsters, is a huge fan of Hannah Montana. She would love nothing more than to go see the Hannah Montana concert on December 1st at Alltel Arena in North Little Rock Arkansas. Unfortunately, that won’t be possible because it seems that scalpers snatched up the majority of the tickets in a matter of minutes, and are now trying to sell them at outrageous prices. I love my daughter and I’d do most anything for her…but I won’t pay $200 or $300 for tickets that should be selling for $60! I watched a video interview with Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Cyrus’ father, and he stated that what had happened was beyond their control. He said that they were out to put on a good show for the fans, and whatever happened with regards to ticket sales is not something that they could do anything about. I would probably agree with that, and I’m sure they really don’t care because they’re getting their money for the ticket sales. They may suffer if not many people attend the concert and therefore aren’t purchasing t-shirts and souvenirs?
I’d love to see people fight back against these ridiculous prices and leave the scalpers holding a bunch of tickets they can’t get rid of! Of course there will be some people that can afford to pay “any” price to get the best seats in the arena, and I’m sure that ticket prices will drop as the concert gets closer, “if” the tickets aren’t selling. I doubt that the scalpers will lose any money on this concert, but I think it’s sad that they can manipulate an event like this and get away with it. In my opinion, it’s very wrong. But I suppose that price gouging doesn’t bother some business people, (if you want to call them business people)?
I’d enjoy hearing your comments.
