“Hannah Montana Bill” Aimed At A Different Kind Of Online Predator Than You Probably Expected From The Name
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]
