Few tween guardians were left unscarred by the great Hannah Montana tour bust of 2007 (at least until the 3-D concert movie somewhat democratized the Montana experience), whether hit in the pocket shelling out hundreds for hard-to-get Montana tickets in the secondary market or in the heart when failure to procure seats left the ingrates-in-training snubbing them for the rest of the year. But folks regularly dragged to family-friendly events within New York City limits may now have some recourse against sinister Internet-aided technology thanks to a local politico proposing another one of those pesky laws to potentially smack down ticket brokers. The most amazing takeaway from this story, however, is that people are actually paying $200 and up for tickets to see the My Little Ponies frolicking live on stage. Admittedly those are NYC prices, but then again, looking at pictures of the in-person Pony extravaganza, I’m not sure I wouldn’t pay that much in the ‘burbs. [NY TImes/Photo: AP]

I’d pay $200 to un-see that linked picture.
That’s why my concert experiences, these days, are limited to mostly unknown bands. I’m not paying $200 a ticket for bands I like, much less the stuff above!
Milly has a decent voice, and looks. She’ll make money for several decades, unless she goes all Britney on us. And if lip-synching didn’t ruin Ashlee Simpson’s career, the body-doubles and stuff in this girl’s act won’t matter, either.
Weeknights between 11:30 and 1:00 on the Disney Channel.
My favorite hour and a half in television.
If only I had the children to justify this.
And if people simply refused to pay StubHub prices for these tickets, as if there was some kind of physical need to attend these shows, ticket resellers would fold tomorrow and there’d be no need for legislation.
$200 for My Little Pony only tells half the story. Full sheets of acid aren’t cheap.
