Miley Cyrus kicked off the first of three Hannah Montana concerts in the Garden State by performing to a sellout crowd at the Prudential Center Arena Saturday.

Cyrus is the first artist to sell out the new arena. Tickets have been hard to come by for many, and some of the lucky ones paid a high price for admission. Christine Ciannanna, a parent attending the performance, told News 12 New Jersey she spent $2000 on four tickets.

'Sopranos' star Steve Schirripa and former Governor Jim McGreevey are rumored to have been among the sellout crowd. Tickets to the remaining two shows are also sold out.
