Sorry parents. Who knew when you purchased those IMAX tickets months ago that the 3-D Hannah Montana movie would soon be offered for free?

In hopes of giving your kids something to do this summer, the Disney Channel has chosen to dedicate a week in July to teen star Miley Cyrus. Only July 20, the cable channel will air a fresh episode of Hannah Montana. Six days later, a marathon of shows will lead up to the television debut of Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour.

Those unable to see the movie when it originally debuted can still get a bit of that 3-D experience at home. TV Guide will be offering glasses in its July 21 issue.

The Hannah Montana star has been selling tickets like hotcakes; many of her engagements have sold out within minutes.

It’s not uncommon for a Disney movie to outperform its competition—so should we be surprised that the hottest concert tour this year is being headlined by a Disney Channel star?

The Hannah Montana (a.k.a. Miley Cyrus) tour is so successful, scalpers are already selling her concert tickets at five times the face value.  Seats for all 54 stops have already sold out—and in several cases, in near record fashion.  (It took only four minutes in the Atlanta-area and eight minutes in Memphis.) According the Associated Press, her tour is outselling The Police, Bruce Springsteen and Justin Timberlake.
