Parents' Survival Guide
Don’t forget your tickets:
It may sound obvious, but things are bound to be hectic as you pile your excited fan(s) into your car. Make sure your tickets are with you before you start your trek to the arena.
Parking:
Check your venue’s website early to learn about the parking situation. Have a plan for where to park instead of figuring it out once you are there.
Venue Restrictions:
Check with your venue to see what you are allowed to bring to the show. Different venues will have different restrictions on cameras, seat cushions, etc.
Dress Accordingly:
Dress your children accordingly. Even though they may want to be in full Hannah Montana gear, it could be a long walk from your parking spot or long wait in line, and depending on what part of the country you are in, the temperature could be very cold.
Earplugs:
The concerts tend to be very loud from the cheers of fans. Earplugs may be a welcomed addition amidst the sound of thousands of screaming ‘tween girls.
Hungry? Souvenirs?
It is generally a good idea to have cash on hand for parking, concessions and merchandise while at the show. Concert t-shirts start at around $30 and programs are about $20.
Set Rules:
Set ground rules while on the way to the show. It will be extremely crowded in and around the arena, so make sure your children and/or their friends work on the buddy system. It might also be a good idea to set a meeting point once at the arena just in case you get separated. Pick a very recognizable spot with a landmark children will remember.
Enjoy the Show!
Most importantly; have fun! The reviews of the show have been incredibly positive for both children and parents alike. Even if you don’t know the music, most parents have said they were very surprised at how entertaining the entire concert was. “Miley Cyrus works very hard for a young girl and it shows in her performance which was outstanding.” “This concert was incredible and my daughter had the time of her life!!!!!”

The Parents Lounge!
If you are not attending the show and want to stay near the arena, or if you do have a ticket but need a break from the energy in the stadium, most shows will have a parents lounge set up. Here you can check your email, read the paper, have a cup of coffee and socialize with other parents and chaperones at the concert. This area should be well marked if your venue does indeed have a parents lounge.
Hannah Montana Tour Bus
Some shows will feature Hannah Montana’s tour bus that will be available for fans to walk through before the show. If your venue will have the tour bus available, make sure you arrive early to ensure that your children get to walk through before the show starts. Also make sure that everyone is dressed very warmly since there will be a long line outside of the bus. Please check with your local venue to see if the Hannah Montana tour bus will be at your show.
Venue Map Information
Since it is a very good idea to arrive at the show early, you should know where you can go to wait for the doors to the arena to open so that you are not stuck in the cold. We have provided maps of every venue on the same page that our available tickets are listed. It will definitely come in handy to review these maps, and even have a copy on you when you go to the show, so that you can quickly get to your designated waiting spot and out of the cold. |
