What is the world coming to? $ 2,395.00 US for a Hannah Montana concert ticket?

What is this phenomenon called Miley/Hannah that can cause Hannah Montana concert tickets to skyrocket to Pluto (planet or not) and make parents shell out this much, despite of themselves? This is a mania! This is as close as anyone can get to being the Beatles of a generation ago. How did this come to be?

HANNAH MONTANA CONCERT FEVER

Check out how people go to some lengths to get these Hanna Montana concert tickets:

•   A mother of a six-year old girl concocts a story and makes it appear that her daughter wrote it so they can win Hannah Montana concert tickets.

Chicago-based Club Libby Lu sponsored an essay writing contest where the grand prize winner wins four tickets to the sold-out Albany, N.Y. leg of the Hannah Montana concert. Among the prizes are four airfare tickets, and a Hannah Montana make-over.

The winning essay tells of the young girl’s missing her Dad who died in Iraq. It turned out to be a hoax. Concert organizers promptly withdrew the prize and awarded it to another winner.

•    A radio station stages a Hannah Montana dress-alike contest—for Dads

The contest was held at a mall in Illinois to award free Hannah Montana concert tickets to the winner for the sold-out concert at the Allstate Arena. Dads, shaved donned sequined tops, mini skirts, high heels, and (goodness!) hairy legs! To win, they have to do all sorts of things to pretend they are the teen-age pop superstar. One contestant rode in on a limo and immediately shook hands to amused shoppers, signed autographs, and stood on top of a table and belted a Hannah Montana song.

One contestant, who is of Indian descent, virtually transformed himself into Hannah Montana by shaved off the beard he has grown for years, applied make-up for the first time in his life, applied nail polish. He was doing it for his niece who is recovering from an ailment. He won the Hannah Montana concert tickets.

•       More than 150 macho men wore high heels in St. Louise and dashed 50 yards just to win the concert tickets for their daughters, sisters, or nieces.
•       Dads in Grand Rapis, Mich., joined an egg race for the concert tickets
•       In Milwaukee, to win backstage passes to the Chicago leg of the concert, Dads sang Hannah Montana’s songs at a mall
•       In Tampa, a man held on to a Hannah Montana statue for six straight days to win Hannah Montana concert ticket

These are just some of the extreme things parents will do to show their love for their kids. In the face of what these Dads are doing to get Hannah Montana concert tickets, do you still think a $ 2,395.00 ticket is preposterous?
