Selling your kidney on the black market for Hannah Montana tickets

Well, not quite, but if the secondary ticket market here is anything like Florida's, you might have to forfeit a year of Lil' Suzie's college tuition for a ticket to the sold-out Alltel show on Dec. 1.

Now desperate parents are at the mercy of brokers, who are already advertising on their websites that they've got the goods. The going rate on Saturday afternoon, according to several websites ranged from $65 to $3,700. The face value of the tickets ranges from $26 to $66.

For $15,860, Gotickets.com is offering a luxury suite that seats 20 people.

My wife and I. Her on the computer, and cell phone. Me on another cell phone and land line starting 5 minutes before 10 AM. Circuits busy and all tickets sold out online by 10:01.

Jesh, who are these maniacs? (Me)

Sorry sweetie. A semester of college will do you more good in life.

So is Radio Disney going to have contests for tickets?

The old Safeway store at the corner of 12th and Cedar Streets doesn't look like much these days - a peeling blue hulk of a building, marooned between the Willie Hinton Community Resource Center and the church on the next corner. /more/
