Miley Cyrus: Actress, Pop Star, Defendant

Posted Nov 13th 2007 1:56PM by TMZ Staff

OMG! Hannah Montana is being sued by a fan! The charge facing tween star Miley Cyrus? Failure to make tickets available to upcoming concerts. Oh, what-ever!

Kerry Inman of Pennsville, New Jersey says she paid $29.95 to Cyrus' official website, MileyWorld.com, which promised to make seats available to members before they went on sale to the general public.

The $5 million class action lawsuit filed in Tennessee alleges that Interactive Media Marketing and Smiley Miley, Inc. were "unfair and deceptive" and "created a false impression that tickets would be available."

Clearly, there'll be no backstage passes for her!

UPDATE: Miley's rep issued the following statement to TMZ: "Among the many benefits of membership, Mileyworld members had an opportunity to purchase pre-sale tickets to the Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds concert tour and more than 70,000 Mileyworld members obtained concert tickets as a result of their membership in Mileyworld. The Mileyworld website expressly states that Mileyworld does not guarantee every member a concert ticket. Mileyworld members had far greater access to concert tickets than the general public and other fan clubs and the claim that the vast majority of Mileyworld members were unable to obtain concert tickets is simply false. Mileyworld will vigorously defend itself from the frivolous claims in the lawsuit."

2. Sweet Nibblets!!!

Ya'll just want them to fork over two tickets.

It's not Cyrus's fault that you couldnt get tickets. This is bull$hit.

7. I signed up for that web site also and it clearly stated that becoming a member does not guarantee tickets. I signed on early that morning and by 10:00 over 50 thousand people were on line. They only had 2,000 tickets. She should have been quicker. I got mine.

8. Its not Mileys fault! its the Ticket Agents that bought up all the tickets online. They are making 10 times as much as Miley is making off this concert tour, must be nice to be a middle man with no talent other than buying tickets then reselling them at 10 times the profit

10. it was a matter of time---dad is billy ray cyrus...hes not a lawyer. not sure where the mom is.

anyway, whatever happens to this girl, i hope she doesnt fall victim to fame like britney, etc. hope her dad can keep her on the straight and narrow. she's lucky to have a father who has been in the biz, lived thru it, and can help her on her way.

11. ok..................................i signed up for Miley World too and tryed to get tickets as soon as they were available and didnt get them! Why does Miley have anything to do with this??? Sue ticketmaster..............they are the ones whom these online ticket brokers bought up all the tickets!!! How is it Mileys fault???? In her website it stated that you needed to get tickets immediately when they went on sale b/c tickets would go fast! Of course............these online ticket brokers (with their sophisticated computers and software) beat a lt of parents to the punch!!! YES................THIS MAKES ME IRATE but its not Mileys fault!!!! I have been trying for over a month to get tickets...............I have bid atleast 10x's on ebay. Now..........instead of paying 40 bucks for a ticket its gonna cost me over 150.00!!!!! Its not fair, but dont blame Miley!

12. She will be fine, it is the company that is sued, not her.

13. This is actually a legitimate CLASS ACTION lawsuit. All the plaintiff has to do is prove that the website, and by association and endorsement Miley, INFERRED that seats (tickets) would be made available to the club members before the general public. The important issues that remain to be proven in court will be ADEQUATE number of tickets for MEMBERS. So if Amie's numbers are correct, i.e. 50,000 members and only 2000 tickets, I'm afraid Miley is in hot water legally over the language on her website.

14. How ridiculous. Actually, I signed my daughter up for the fan site just to have the chance to get presale tickets . . . however, you still have to go through Ticketmaster & can only get them if they're available. What a dumb ass!!

15. The site does state there is NO Guarantee of tickets.
I hit it before 10am and kept refreshing and got tickets but not the best seats. Our arena holds 16,000 and a huge portion sold to fan club!
Absurd lawsuit- nice try for some PR.
