Idolator

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]
