DEL.ICIO.USNeed Hannah Montana Tickets?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
S.B.’s going out on a limb here and predicting record attendance at this year’s March of Dimes Northeast Signature Chef’s auction, planned for Nov. 8 at Gwinnett Center.
The event will feature fab cuisine and benefits a great cause, but it’s the after-dinner auction we’re expecting will cause something of a stir.
On the block: four nearly impossible-to-get Hannah Montana tickets, along with a pre-concert dinner and a limo ride to the show.
Event organizers say the tickets were donated by a gracious (and, for the moment, anonymous) couple who hold box seats at the Gwinnett Arena and were therefore able to purchase the tickets.
As has been the case around the country, tickets for the the Nov. 28 show at the Gwinnett Arena were snapped up in nanoseconds, and are now commanding top dollar on sites like eBay (try nearly $1,900 for four).
The event is 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 8 in the Hughes Ballroom. Tickets are $150 per person, $800 for a table of four or $1,500 for a table of eight.
Providing the nibbles will be the 1818 Club, Carino’s Italian Grille, Flowery Branch Yacht Club, Fresh Market, Kurt’s, Little Gardens Restaurant, Loafing Leprechaun, Lowcountry Barbecue, Proof of the Pudding and Sugo.
Dessert will be prepared by Vagn Nielsen, honorary Corporate Executive Chef for Proof of the Pudding.
After dinner, paddles hit the air. Other auction items include tickets to see the Blue Man Group and the Wiggles; jewelry from Tara Jewelers; a “Patriotic Package” to Washington, including airline tickets, a tour of the White House and lunch with U.S. Rep. John Linder.
This year’s sponsors include Gwinnett Medical Center; Andersen, Tate, and Carr; Scientific Atlanta; Stiefel; YES Media; and Gwinnett Magazine.
For more information or tickets see www.marchofdimes.com/georgia or call 678-546-0023.
So, might you consider attending the March of Dimes bash just to bid on Hannah Montana tickets? Have you already snagged them for top dollar on eBay? Or do you think the Hannah frenzy is a bit much?
