Hannah Montana Fans Are Furious

Miley Cyrus' fans are furious at her and are actually suing her fan club in a potential class action lawsuit. The disgruntled fans say that they were promised that they would get priority in purchasing tickets to Miley's big concert tour if they joined the fan club. Thousands were unable to get tickets for the sold out tour. (In case you don't know any obsessed tweens, Miley is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus and stars in the hit TV show Hannah Montana.) In the concert, Miley spends half the show as herself and the other half in a blond wig portraying her pop star alter ego, Hannah Montana. Got all that?
Tickets for Cyrus' 54-date Best of Both Worlds tour sold out within minutes starting in August, sending desperate wannabe concertgoers-and scalpers-to the Internet, where sellers were asking for as much as $2,000 a pop for $63 seats. According to court documents filed on behalf of New Jersey resident Kerry Inman in U.S. District Court in Nashville, Interactive Media Marketing Inc. and Smiley Miley Inc. couldn't back up the promise of easier concert access in exchange for an annual $29.95 membership fee. The suit claims that tens of thousands of people like Inman could possibly join the suit, based on the popularity of the club's official Website, mileyworld.com. Inman states that she tried to get tickets to an Atlantic City show right when tickets went on sale, but came up empty-handed.

"They deceptively lured thousands of individuals into purchasing memberships, based on the understanding that by joining, they would be able to purchase tickets before they were offered for sale to the general public, and that's why we're suing," Inman's attorney, Rob Peirce, said in a statement. Peirce is based in Pittsburgh but filed the suit in Tennessee, where the defendants operate. "While the club and the Web site do not guarantee ticket availability, they explicitly state that members who log on shortly after tickets become available will have a good opportunity to get tickets," Peirce said. "In reality, the vast majority of club members, including those who logged on at the appointed time or shortly thereafter, were unable to obtain concert tickets."
Clearly, Miley has taken over for Hilary Duff and her fans are fierce.
