I Sold My Daughter's Christmas Present for $1,500

I was going to give my daughter this ticket for Hannah Montana. Can you believe  what

scalpers were getting for this? She will also play the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ this weekend.  I could have sold it for $1,500 but come on, how many times does a 15 year old marketing machine come to town. Needless to say I am not a cold, money hungry Dad. I actually took all 3 of my kids and my wife to this extravaganza. For those of you who don't know Hannah Montana, it is the equivalent of not knowing what text messaging is. Seems that all the kids from teenagers down to some 3 year olds are into her. Hannah Montana is the alter ego of Miley Cyrus. The concert was quite entertaining, the Jonas Brothers opened up. They are graduates of Eastern Christian, a christian school in Northern New Jersey. The concert was very high energy and really family friendly. Hannah Montana is only 15 years old. It was really a sight to see all these little teeny boppers that knew every word to every song. I have to admit, with 3 kids in the house I knew quite a few as well. The things we do as parents. Overall the concert wasn't that loud, but the screaming of all the teenage girls dwarfed the sound system many times. My children had a great time and then we went out for ice cream. My oldest said it was the best day of her life. Those are the moments that we cherish as parents. Has anyone else foregone a financial windfall and sacrificed to make a memory for their children? I'm sure you have, I would love to hear about them.
