It would be lovely if the Jacksons did a concert sometime in the future, when they feel able to 
Apparently Justin Timberlake will perform instead.

probably want them as a collectors item, might be worth a few quid one day?
But someone paid ÂĢ3,000 for a hospitality package this morning, and someone else paid ÂĢ2000! I could understand some people maybe wanting to get tickets as a collector's item, but none of the tickets have even been sent out yet!

It was just the same when Kurt Cobain died. Tickets were changing hands for way above the face value, because people were collecting them.
I had tickets for that tour and I took them back for a straight refund. I didn't want any part of that ghoulish circus - it was one of the things he offed himself to get away from!

No, was it good?
the thing is people bought tickets to see mj not anyone else or a tribute! a refund has to be offered or the promoters could be charged with fraud

I thought it was.
It was about grunge really but there was quite a bit on KC- it was called The Spirit of Grunge, might be on Listen again

Promoters are giving a full refund, including booking fee, the problem is if anyone bought tickets from a third party, ie: Ebay or a grey market ticket agents.
The seller doesn't have to give a refund, and can't be made to.

I've got 3 tickets ... This was going be my daughters first live concert ... but sadly, it was just not to be
I payed money in good faith, to see MJ ... Fair enough, if they want to offer an alternative, given the exceptional circumstances ... but I wouldn't have payed the amount I have, to see Justin Timberlake. I think it's only fair, to offer a refund.

Excellent news ... I believe it's only fair.
Thank goodness I bought mine from the official site.
I reckon there will be all sorts of stars signing up to do a tribute to him, its very likely some of these concerts will go ahead, just not sure everyone could do 50 nights or start in three week
Well the O2 people have 50 dates to fill now.
I wonder if the X factors are free?

Susan Boyle?
It would be a bit hard to do a concert when it revolves around Michael Jackson performing. I have heard from Sky News that fans who bought tickets can get refunds so I dont think there will be any tribute shows
