American Voicesbusiness ISSUE 43•41 Oct 10, 2007

After a slew of instantaneous concert sell-outs, culminating with tween idol Hannah Montana, several states are looking into consumer protection lawsuits to stop ticket brokers from gathering them all up. What do you think?

  • “Paying out the nose for tickets from a broker sucks, but I do find comfort in the fact that I'm not giving my money to Ticketmaster.”

    Patricia Bullwinkel –
    Beer Distributor

  • “If kids could get Hannah Montana tickets anytime they wanted them, how would they learn the value of crushing disappointment?”

    Anthony Sylvain –
    Systems Analyst

  • “Thank goodness. Being denied access to the Hannah Montana concert was the poisoned icing on my horrible cupcake of a year.”

    Gilberto Arstaud –
