EY's Rants and Raves

Lots of turmoil and virtual ink over the scalping of "Hannah Montana" tickets. My state AG is getting involved and Ticketmaster is being called to task for selling to scalpers. Here's a thought: If you're paying upwards of $60 to see a 14 year old and her "band" perform, the scalpers aren't ripping you off. You're being ripped off already. I'm sure your tween is sure she won't live another day without seeing Billy "Achy Breaky Heart" Cyrus's daughter, but the truth is, she will. Don't want to be scalped (by Ticketmaster, Disney or scalpers)? Don't pay an outrageous amount to any outlet for a show you can watch on TV for free.
