Video - Austin Mahone Mobbed in Chicago – Police Shut Down “Meet and Greet”

Mahone in a Chicago Hotel

It seems that becoming famous can be a hard job at times.

Fifteen-year-old singer Austin Mahone visited Chicago today to have a simple meet-and-greet with his fans when he was over-run by Mahomies.

Austin, who had been sending Keek’s all morning keeping his fans updated on his trip to Chicago, at first told his Mahomies NOT to meet him at Navy Pier because there were too many people expected.

After moving the event to “The Bean” sculpture in Millennium Park, thousands of Austin fans rushed to the area causing quite an influx of excited and hyperventilated young girls.



Police quickly whisked Austin and his mother away to a secure building next to the park until they could figure out what to do.

The meetup was eventually cancelled out of concern for the safety of Austin, his Mother, and his fans.

Police told the singer that if he plans to use the park in the future he needs his own security team and must notify the city several weeks in advance so they can plan for crowd control.

Mahone took to twitter to tell his fans that the event had been cancelled.

“Mahomies, it’s really hard for me to say this but i can’t do a meetup on this trip - the police won’t let me do it, I’m so sorry... Dont worry I’m okay and you didn’t do anything wrong!!”

Where was Kenny Hamilton when we really needed him?

Austin just released his first collaborated music video cover “NO AIR” by Chris Brown and Jordin Sparks.

Not bad for a kid who still goes to school and records all his covers in his bedroom with store bought recording equipment.

Let’s see… the last time that happened, it turned out to be - Justin Bieber.

Austin, if you need any bail money just let us know… we know a few people in Chicago.

Just saying…

Justin Bieber to Host Benefit Concert – Tickets Cost $40,000

Teen sensation Justin Bieber may have just completed his 150 show My World Concert Tour, but he still has one more show to do.

And it’s not your ordinary show…….

Bieber is scheduled to perform at the historic Mountain Winery in Saratoga California in support of the “College Track 2011 Benefit Concert Series”

College Track is an after-school, college preparatory program that works to increase high school graduation, college eligibility and enrollment, and college graduation rates in under-resourced communities.

And Mountain Winery is not your ordinary concert arena either…..

The Mountain Winery provides the most intimate of concert venues with a picturesque 2,500 seat amphitheater. They have hosted shows for some of the greatest like Tony Bennett, Ringo Starr, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, The Beach Boys, Carlos Santana, and Ella Fitzgerald.

The winery is a California Historical Landmark and is included on the National Register of Historic Places.

But the big news for this show is the ticket prices.

Are you sitting down?

No, really… sit down.

Fan level individual tickets range from $500 to $1500 and all offer great stage views.

Bieber Fever packages and individual tickets get you front and center and start at $2000.

True Belieber packages include a chance to meet Justin in person, and start at $3000.

And those are the CHEAP tickets. The VIP tickets which provide a private meet and greet reception and souvenirs get a little more expensive.

The Bieber Fever Sky Suite tickets will get you 10 seats in a luxury suite on the upper level and Includes lounge seating and beverage service. Price? - $20,000

“$20,000 supports one 9th grade student with four years of comprehensive support to ensure that he or she graduates from high school academically prepared, socially ready, and financially equipped to succeed in a four year university. Over the course of four years, support services at College Track amounts to the equivalent of one extra year of high school. "

But that’s not the most expensive option. If you really want to show your support then you need to be prepared to shell out the major bucks to see this show.

True Belieber Second Row VIP Group – Gets you 8 seats in the second row, center floor section. You also get a private reception with the Biebs, photos with the “Baby” maker, and a swag bag. Cost? - $30,000

But the big score is reserved for those true Beliebers where cost is no option, or your parents are really really rich.

True Belieber Luxury Box – Gets you 10 seats in a luxury box on the lower level. Includes lounge seating, beverage service, private reception with Justin, meet and greet and VIP swag bag. Cost? - $40,000

So kids, if you’re not doing anything on June 11th just ask your mom and dad if they have an extra $40,000 so you can go see a Justin Bieber concert. We’re sure they’ll understand.

On a serious note, we are familiar with College Track and know that it is a fantastic program. Most of these high end tickets will be purchased by celebrities and CEO’s of big companies in the name of charity.
