TAMPA - Parents, get those speed dials and typing fingers ready.

A limited number of tickets for the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus "Best of Both Worlds Tour" are going on sale Monday at noon.

They are only available by phone or online at ticketmaster.com and can be picked up at will; call the night of the show.

The numbers to call: (813) 287-8844 or (727) 898-2100.

The tickets became available after "production for the tour became finalized" according to a release from the St. Pete Times Forum.

Meanwhile late Friday afternoon, 12 diehards were still clinging to their dream and the base of a 12-foot Hannah Montana statue in hopes of winning tickets to a sold-out concert.

Twenty contestants started the contest at about 8 a.m. Thursday morning at Clear Channel Communications on Gandy Boulevard.

The last person holding on to the replica of the Disney Channel character will win four tickets to the Best of Both Worlds concert tour, which features 14-year-old singer-actress Miley Cyrus as herself and performing as pop sensation Hannah Montana. The winner also will receive backstage passes and $5,000.

In the first 24 hours of the contest, fatigue, back ailments, sleep-induced errors and chilly temperatures – as low as 51 degrees – took its toll on the parents, aunts and uncles vying for tickets.

One contestant, Christy, dropped out at 3:30 p.m.

"I gave up," she said on the WFLZ, 93.3-FM Web site. "I just couldn't take the wind and the sand anymore. Plus, I miss my kids. I gave it a good shot."

The contest lasts until Nov. 18, the day before the show at the St. Pete Times Forum.

Tickets went on sale Aug. 10 and sold out in 18 minutes, according to Holly Brown, a Forum spokeswoman. Although ticket prices ranged from $30 to $70, some parents have shelled out thousands to ticket brokers to ensure their children are in the arena.
