StubHub, the world's largest ticket marketplace, has recognized the unparalleled demand for teen idol
Hannah Montana's upcoming nationwide tour, and in light of immediate sell-outs, is offering parents useful tips on finding tickets to her shows. Many fans have been recently disappointed when, despite logging online the minute an on-sale begins, no tickets were available for purchase. It's an unfortunate reality of the primary distribution of tickets today, with Internet access inviting more buyers than ever before and
limited numbers of tickets being made available to the general public. Despite quick sell-outs, good news remains, as plenty of seats are being offered on StubHub's ticket marketplace by those who were able to buy, some for as low as $65. The national average selling price for a Hannah Montana ticket on StubHub is an astounding $214. Her tour is currently the hottest selling tour of 2007 based on the dollar volume of tickets transacted through StubHub, outselling the likes of
Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake and
Van Halen to date.
Find Hannah Montana Concert Tickets on StubhubStubHub's Tips for Parents -- Remain patient, check
StubHub daily for more reasonably priced
tickets and wait for the market to adjust.
-- Sometimes waiting until a week before a show will yield the very
best bargains and maybe a surprise for the little one who thought
the show was sold out.
-- Set a price point that's comfortable and within your budget. As the
show approaches, keep your eyes peeled for price and location. If
it appears, grab it before it's gone. Sellers adjust prices daily
on
StubHub.
-- Consider attending shows in surrounding areas or on different
dates. Ex. On StubHub, the average selling ticket price at the
Times Union Center in Albany, NY to date is just
$109, but the
average price for the show at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY on
12/27 is
$406. In some cases, it may be worth the drive for parents to save cash.
-- Other markets currently with more affordable price offers include:
--
Minneapolis, MN -- San Diego, CA
-- Columbus, OH -- Tampa, FL
-- Anaheim, CA -- Sunrise, FL
-- Los Angeles, CA -- Charlotte, NC-- Only use reputable sites like
StubHub which has a FanProtect(TM)
Guarantee, doesn't share your credit card information with sellers
and is recommended by the Better Business Bureau.
-- Hannah Montana Tickets also make great holiday presents for kids, since she has a slew of concert dates in late December and January.

"The market driven prices for Hannah Montana's wildly popular tour are skewing high currently, not unlike a company whose stock price soars after a positive earnings announcement. Although some people are purchasing, sellers will eventually have to adjust their prices to attract buyers," said StubHub spokesperson, Sean Pate. "Thankfully there are hundreds of tickets available for her shows across the country so the access and choice remains for fans."
StubHub manages an online ticket marketplace for the fans, but doesn't purchase or own any tickets for resale itself. Tickets listed on StubHub are being priced by the general public and asking
prices vary from the reasonable to occasionally the insane. Hannah Montana Resale Pricing Trends
StubHub has reviewed the top ten Hannah Montana shows with the highest average selling price and found that nine of these shows will go on sale to the general public this Saturday. Sellers who have early access to tickets will typically list higher prices early on but as more tickets are listed onto the site after a general on sale, supply increases and asking prices decrease.
