OMG, like for real, thousands of screaming tweeners will be taking over the American Airlines Arena tonight when the sensation known as Hannah Montana takes to the stage. On the Disney Channel, Miley Cyrus, the daughter of country crooner Billy Ray, plays a mild-mannered student who transforms into a superstar rocker simply by donning a blond wig. Well, that little show sparked a pop culture phenomenon that will grace the Magic City tonight. Concert tickets, which sold out within minutes of going on sale were ranging in price from $23.25 to $63.25, but have been being scalped for way more than that. We’ve seen them going for thousands of dollars. Local radio station Y-100 even held a special contest where they stuck a bunch of parents in a van parked outside the station. It was cramped quarters, but the one who held out the longest was rewarded with a pair of front row tickets. Oh, what parents will do for their kids.
