Jonas Brothers Start Selling Out Shows: Let the Scalping Begin
Moms, Dads: If you thought the crying was unbearable when little Samantha or Ashley was told there was no way to get Miley Cyrus concert tickets, well hold on.
Turns out the Jonas Brothers can sell ducats at potentially an even faster rate. In L.A., the Jonas Brothers set a new record for the fastest sell-out in the 36-year history of the Gibson, formerly Universal, Amphitheater. Two minutes. More than 5,000 seats sold.
The band immediately added two more shows and sold every ticket again. And this is in a town where many parents can tell their kids "I know a guy who knows a guy who can hook us up" and not the Midwest where the Cyrus dust-up originated.
But if you think that sell out was fast, how about the 203 postings that went up today on StubHub for the Jonas Brothers' Universal shows. Ducats are running from $69.95 apiece to $858 a ticket for four seats in the fourth row. Face value is $49.50 for the orchestra; $39.50 for the mezzanine. Then there are the 130 listings on eBay, including one that started at one dollar from the private party known as Mr. Best Available Seating.

i went to the san antonio (at the at&t center) concert last night. It was amazing in everyway possible.
I thank the lord that i could even be in the same room with them since there were only like 7 seats left for sale and i was kinda slow on the ticket wagon.
But none the less, these boys deserve every single fan they have. And im proud to say that im one of them.
