Michael Jackson Concerts (Serious Question)

[Ernest]

Can anyone confirm that the Michael Jackson concerts at the O2 have been cancelled definitely ?

 

[Braders]

No they are going to wheel his dead corpse out onto the stage and play his tracks on a CD player.

The promoters must be gutted - there is no way the real Wacko was going to be performing anyway - it would have been the guy from that touring show 'Thriller' miming to Wacko's songs with Wacko coming on stage just at the beginning and the end to keep up the charade. They were also planning to have 'Whitey' from Me, Myself and Irene as a back up plan in case the Thriller guy got taken ill before any of the 50 shows.

Which guy from 'Thriller'?

I wonder if the tickets themselves will become collectors items in years to come.

Are the booking fees and service charges refundable? If they are the promoters are going to be out of pocket big time

I doubt it, there are just too many of them.

It's like in the past when things like this rocketed in price. I'd say abouyt 80% of people who have a ticket, will keep it safe in case the price does rise. Because of this the price won't rise..... unless of course you have to send them back for a refund. But the England game last week when the Tubes were on strike, the tickets are being refunded automatically. So I would guess most of these tickets will be refunded automatically.

Probably about as valuable as a 1983 FA cup final programme.

Ticketmaster must be well pissed off that Wacko snuffed it, they'll probably try and sue his estate for breach of contract or something. Never say never(land) and all that.

Er, the vast majority of people bought tickets online - and the tickets were never dispatched...
