It's unlikely this Asylum ed would ever find himself at a Britney Spears concert, but that doesn't mean we're not following the train wreck of a concert tour here in Australia. Things are getting pretty messy as the 'scandal' of high priced tickets and mimed performances hits the front pages.

Today there's reports of fans walking out on the concert, upset that they'd paid hundreds for a very lack lustre show. Britney's people hit back at the claim, along the lines of 'no they didn't', and then the reporter had her own lash back at the Britney camp, with an 'oh yes they did, are you calling me a liar?'. Handbags and ten paces, ladies!

There's even been talk of the Fair Trading Department getting involved, with suggestions it is unreasonable to pay for a concert if the star has no intention of performing live. When they want hundreds of dollars

Should we have to be told before the show? Don't people already pretty much assume unstable pop stars like Britney are just going to fake it? Is the live event just a chance to ogle the artist in the flesh, and lip syncing gives them a better chance to go nuts with the dance routines and costume changes?
