Any so-called 'parent' who would shell out the bucks demanded to either type of seller is going to have way more trouble with their 'princess' down the line than just the current raid on the champaign-and-brie fund. When working class parents tell their kids "No" to this sort of extortion, they build character instead of consumerism.
Bah humbug...didn’t you ever go to a concert when you were young? Parents would rather shell out hundreds of dollars so their children can see wholesome entertainment than pay less to see scantily clad women hump men on the stage.
