When Will There Be No One Left To Sue Over Hannah Montana Tickets?

Answer: Somewhere between the end of her sold-out 2007 tour and never, as “thousands of fans” have now decided to file a claim against the embattled Hannah’s fan club because of a “promise that joining would make it easier to get concert tickets from the teen star’s Web site” that (wait for it) never materialized.

The suit names Interactive Media Marketing Inc. and Smiley Miley Inc. as defendants and seeks triple damages for all members of the lawsuit and attorneys’ fees.

“They deceptively lured thousands of individual into purchasing memberships into the Miley Cyrus Fan Club,” plaintiffs’ attorney Rob Peirce said. His Pittsburgh firm and a Memphis firm filed the suit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Nashville.

“Thousands of people have joined the club based on the understanding that by joining they would be able to purchase Hannah Montana concert tickets before they were offered for sale to the general public,” Pierce said.

The price of membership? $29.95. Roughly the equivalent of five packs of cigarettes, 10 gallons of gas, or two-dozen Save-A-Lot frozen chimichangas. (At least here in N.J., where the lawsuit is originating from.) And unless we’re reading it wrong, it makes “triple damages” approximately $90 X “thousands of fans.” Which is still approximately 1/1,000,000,000th of the Cyrus’ clan’s yearly income for 2007.
