‘Hannah Montana’ Ticket Software Bill

Hannah Montana’s last concert tour The Best of Both Worlds caused lots of conflict and ugliness concerning ticket sales. It seemed no one was prepared for the number of fans Miley had and tickets sold lightening fast disappointing lots of families. In fact I was one of those people logged into Ticketmaster 10 minutes early. Refreshing my page every minute just waiting on them to be released and was still not able to land a set of tickets. It appears Minnesota is fighting back. They are close to outlawing ticket-buying software that moves users to the front of the Internet line to grab seats for popular events. Anyone know what this software is called and how you get it? I didn’t even know such software existed, but that would explain a lot, and I would think be unfair. Apparently this software is what caused many of us honest fans to not be able to buy tickets outright. Says that resellers were using this software and then charging an arm and a leg for the tickets they had purchased. Way to go Minnesota and good luck in passing and finding a way to enforce this law.
