Buyer Beware Miley Cyrus’s Birthday Tickets
24-Sep-2008
Written by: Alexandra Perich
Miley Cyrus fans are going crazy over Miley’s Sweet 16 birthday party at Disneyland, October 4. But ticket buyers beware; you may be in for a surprise when you arrive at the Hollywood-style red carpet event if you are not the original purchaser of the ticket.
The exclusive event featuring the Hannah Montana star sold out almost immediately. According to the LATimes.com, the general public snatched the 5,000 available tickets at $250 a pop. Wannabe moneymakers immediately put the prized “Miley Cyrus Sweet 16 Birthday Party” tickets up for sale on eBay with prices starting at $500 each.
However, the Anaheim theme park has put in effect strict anti-scalping procedures designed to prevent reselling of tickets at online auction sites such as eBay, the LATimes.com reported.
Such procedures include, according to the LATimes.com: issuing tickets the day of the event to the original purchaser after 2 p.m. at the main gate; the original purchaser must provide a confirmation letter, identification, and signature at the check-in booth in order to receive the tickets; everyone attending the event must be present when the tickets are issued; a Disneyland employee will escort the group into the theme park.
