Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Hannah Montana Tickets?
I had no idea that the Declaration of Independence (much less the Constitution) guaranteed a right to concert tickets. Gee, learn something new every day.
The City Council is looking into why the "Hannah Montana" concert at the Sprint Center sold out minutes after the tickets went on sale.
City leaders want Ticketmaster and the Sprint Center to explain how some brokers were selling tickets at higher prices and were advertising the tickets before they went on sale.
Dozens of upset parents contacted KMBC when they were ready to buy tickets at 10 a.m. Saturday but were told the event had already sold out.
"Hannah Montana" is a popular show on the Disney Channel starring Miley Cyrus. The concert is scheduled for Dec. 3.
Oh darn. Best part:
"I have a 10-year-old daughter — we wanted to go on a girl's night," mother Frances Lopez told KMBC. "And I was frustrated immediately."
Gee. We really are sorry about that. How awful to have to think of something else to do! This is a travesty! This is borderline child abuse! This is an excessive use of exclamation points!!!!! This is probably sounding pretty sarcastic, right?
Good. (Oh, and I'd like Ticketmaster to explain whether or not they were involved in covering up the real truth about Peruvian meteors. Why? No, we should ask: why not?)

The Arkansas Attorney General is investigating the issue. Apparently someone is selling a program to circumvent ticketmaster, technically cutting in line and having an unfair (illegal?) advantage over legitimate customers.
There is no RIGHT to have tickets, but there should be a reasonable expectation of fairness in the process.
