It’s Official, Miley Cyrus has announced her 2009 North American Tour. The opening act will be Metro Station featuring Trace Cyrus.
This tour will serve as the first test for Ticketmaster’s new paperless ticketing system. Basically, you will be required to purchase tickets with a credit card. To gain admittance to the venue, you will have to show your ID and the credit card you used to purchase tickets. Then you will be given a seat locator slip and your group must enter together.
As always, where there’s a will there’s a way. Although Ticketmaster is stating Gift Credit Cards will not be accepted… it could be challenged by potential buyers. Finally, scalping may for the first time come with a new feature - an escort to take you with two other guest to your seat. That will be interesting?
Ultimately, who wins here? Nobody. It’s going to be a hassle, long lines and delays will cause many to miss the opening act, and the shows will sellout leaving people upset that they couldn’t get tickets. Here are the dates:
