SCOTT SIMON, host: This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon.</s>SPICE GIRLS (All-Female Pop Group): (Singing) Oh, say you'll be there.</s>SCOTT SIMON, host: Remember hearing stories about people who've camped out overnight or over a weekend to get tickets to see the Beatles, the Stones, even the Grateful Dead. People shared food, drink and the kind of brownies that left to buzz. They'd sing "All You Need is Love" or "Casey Jones." How many lifelong friendships were made, even if they were hard to remember the day after?</s>SCOTT SIMON, host: But these days, just click - but quickly. Tickets for most stops in the 54-day "Hannah Montana" concert tour are already gone in most places. Miley Cyrus plays the Disney channel character who's a student by day and rock star at night. Tickets sold out in Memphis in just eight minutes, just four minutes in Atlanta. Scalpers are now selling tickets for thousands of dollars to anxious parents.</s>SCOTT SIMON, host: But that's almost leisurely compared to the Spice Girls. Tickets to their December 15 reunion concert in London went on sale this week and sold out in just 38 seconds. And it's just about as long as Mr. Posh Spice, David Beckham, can play without tearing his medial collateral ligament.</s>SPICE GIRLS (All-Female Pop Group): (Singing) I give you everything. And all that I want from you is a promise you will be there…</s>SCOTT SIMON, host: Coming up, the posh sultry voice of Sophie Milman.
