Aussie MP blasts miming Britney gig

WENN

An Australian politican has urged ticket agencies to inform fans when artists are going to mime at their concerts.

Virginia Judge, the New South Wales Minister for Fair Trading, criticised Britney for charging high ticket prices for a show that was not performed live.

Describing Britney's gig as a "Mickey Mouse performance", she added: "Let's be clear - live means live. If you are spending up to 200 AUD (£110), I think you deserve better than a film clip.

"The NSW government would be happy to look at options, such as a disclaimer on a ticket which would warn consumers a performance is pre-recorded," Contactmusic quotes her as saying.

Britney kicks off the 14-date Australian leg of her 'The Circus Starring' tour in Perth tonight.
