Premium Tickets is the best place online to purchase concert and events tickets for each of your favorite bands or shows. And we all know how much fun those events can be. As such, we thought you might appreciate some stories and firsthand accounts of great shows! Our first ‘fun facts’ series comes from Hector Saldaña, an Express-News Staff Writer, who reviewed the recent Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana concert:
Nearly 15,000 people — the vast majority girls ages 5 to 14 accompanied by at least one parent — filled the AT&T Center to experience Hannah Montana, aka 14-year-old Disney Channel actress/singer Miley Cyrus.
The squeaky-clean, "Best of Both Worlds" screamfest concert also featured Disney superstars-in-waiting Jonas Brothers, three talented siblings who rocked out on hits such as "Hold On" and "S.O.S.," and later with the split-personality headliner on "We Got the Party (With Us)."
It's a message thing, too.
Hannah Montana songs such as the upbeat "Life's What You Make It," "Just Like You" and "Nobody's Perfect" resonated here as loudly as the screams.
"It's cool to see someone close to our age be a star," said MacArthur freshman Rachel Perrine, 14, attending with friend Aubry Ware. "We love the show."
Twelve-year-old Danner McGill, a rare boy sighting here, put it this way: "It's all good."
Many of the 'tween fans were too young to articulate exactly what the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus magic is, but their moms usually had an answer.
"She's really down to earth. I like the relationship between her and her dad," said Valerie DeHoyas, who chaperoned her daughter, Nadia.
She was speaking, of course, of the art-imitating-life appeal of the Disney Channel's No. 1 show, "Hannah Montana," which stars country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus as his real-life daughter's on-screen dad.
Many parents echoed the sentiment. They like the wholesome image, the welcomed antithesis of the "Girls Gone Wild" era.
Jo Sansing and her 6-year-old daughter, Taylor, along with fellow mom Jennifer Fest and her daughter, Madison, sat near the front row.
Unlike many who were forced to buy tickets at highly inflated prices from ticket brokers, they paid face value for theirs.
"She has a very good message," Jennifer Fest said. "She says to feel good about yourself. She's not doing anything crazy like Britney (Spears)."
