Ticket Brokers Under Fire

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?

Young Woman

Patricia Bullwinkel,
Beer Distributor
"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."

Young Man

Anthony Sylvain,
Systems Analyst
"If kids could get Hannah Montana tickets anytime they wanted them, how would they learn the value of crushing disappointment?"

Black Man

Gilberto Arstaud,
Shoe Salesman
"Thank goodness. Being denied access to the Hannah Montana concert was the poisoned icing on my horrible cupcake of a year."
