biggrin.gif Ok I will start this thread out pretty late I might add in the month..LOL. Things here seem to be going fairly well unless of course like me you are trying to get tickets for a Hannah Montana concert..ugh I am soo peeved!! LOL. Earlier this month there was a concert and it sold out in 3 minutes. mad.gif Well, found out last week that she added another concert for our state because the first one sold out so fast, guess what waited all morning today to find this one sold out just as fast as the last one. Wanna know who the number one buyers were??? SCALPERS!! It makes me sick. Decent average incomed people cant try and do something special for their children who would die at their age to see their favorite actress/ singer in concert because some adult is looking to make fast cash selling tickets for 10 times their worth. Its pathetic. I have seen people from Virgina, Florida, Canada and all over the place selling these tickets, which in my opinion should only be available to the states people having the concert. Now I have 3 little girls that will have their hearts broken on Christmas because they are exspecting Santa to grant them their wish of seeing Hannah in concert. I wonder how people can be so cruel.

rolleyes.gif Ok I think I feel a little better. God it feels good to vent..LOL. mad.gif Ohh and can you believe I offer $500 for 4 tickets in the nosebleed section of where the concert is being held to numerous people and I still havent gotten a reply back cause my offer wasn't high enough..yup saw the tickets listed from Craigslist.com to Ebay. Pretty sad..... sad.gif

I am so sorry about that! I absolutly can not stand hannah but I don't want you to have sad little girls!!! It was the same in our state....i got so tired of it being on the news every hour. I know....the whole thing is pathetic....this concert is for kids! What aweful people to do that!

Nothing new has been going on for me....just busy with christmas things! (who isn't!!!)

That really sucks! I am sure the kids will get over it and life will be back to normal in about .. oh 20-30 days or so. Look on the bright side, you have $500 you would toss away on a 2 hour concert to make you kids happy. Lots of folks don't make that much in a week. Life is good, enjoy it and don't stress over the things that don't really matter!

great insight airscapes.....and venus think about it....no headache about keeping up with three little girls at a packed concert or constant noise for two hours....she will be yesterdays news in a while and they will be over her and onto someone else!

Venus we have that all the time over here too.

Actually our Cricket Association got stuck into scalpers (cricket over here is like baseball over there - our summer sport). We were playing the "Old Foe" England, and tickets were going to be hard to get - so they decided that any tickets that were sold on ebay etc (ticket numbers would be noted) would not be honoured at the gate. So the warning went out that they would prosecute those selling and not honour the tickets sold (to discourage people wasting their money). It took a while but people caught on pretty quick - no buyers ( 'cause they'd lose their money) meant scalpers were far less and the average punter could get a better chance at the tickets.

If I were you I would vent my spleen a little at Hannah's management (her Daddy) and suggest that they could be one of the first in the country to do something positive for working families. After all it doesn't benefit the performer or the person genuinely wanting the tickets. If they advertised that they would monitor ebay etc and not honour those tickets then the scalpers would learn that if they were serious they would have to get out of their loungeroom and travel to Michigan to make their money by selling in person. It won't stamp it out completely but might help.

And I agree a bit with airscapes that you have $500 you were willing to spend on the concert that you can spend on merchandise - a better CD player that they can Karaoke on, and some of her CD's - Hannah wigs or whatever is the flavour of the month. If they can't go they can get to feel like Hannah.

I have to say that that girl is well marketed.

Children are resillient - they'll survive but I'd tell them that Santa is trying to fight the evil elves who left the workshop & became scalpers tongue.gif .

Hey everyone!!!!!! Just a little update.

My wife had her first ultrasound yesterday. There is only one that we can see in there. But it is very healthy and given her syptoms of pregnancy, we will more than likely be having another girl.
