Cyrus fanclub members win lawsuit

Miley Cyrus's fanclub operator has agreed to extend 700 Pennsylvanian members' memberships free and pay a $20,000 fine over ticket access complaints, while denying wrongdoing.

Ah, badly run fan clubs, I've run at least one of them in my time.

Miley Cyrus' fanclub has been ordered to extend the memberships of 700 Pennsylvanian fans free of charge as part of a settlement relating to complaints that they were not given priority access to tickets for a sold out show in Pittsburgh in January 2008, despite possibly being led to believe they would be. Nashville-based Interactive Marketing will also have to pay a $20,000 fine and put a notice on the fanclub's website explaining that paying for membership does not guarantee early access to tickets. Although it agreed to the settlement, the company maintains that it did nothing wrong.
