To get a Good Seat
it may be High priced.
But also standard prices
to ensure every seat is taken.

Many fans from Asia
and Europe or America
may come over for this Rare event.
MJ needs the money
so I think he will do what he knows best
Good Music.


This is a Mega Deal.
Which could make him 50Million pounds.


I hope he trys some New songs
if he can without a Legal problem.

[arista]

It will be Live from 4PM
at the Docklands Arena this afternoon
MJ will be there


Live On SkyNews

You will find it will be
a Mega Event
the Only one in the World.



MJ is one of a kind.

Many are going to give him and his band a chance.

[andyman]

But he has many look-a-likes that could be used.. Singing will not be live.

It will be Live
with MJ and his band.


He is 50 years old
but still knows his music.

It could be the last Live gig he does
so many are going to it.

He has a lot more fans than Britney, and her stupid tour has been quite popular (I think), so his will be a lot bigger than hers.

o yeah of course its gonna be more popular than other artists.

I just dont think it will be one of them that sell out within a matter of seconds.

[arista]

Prince did so well
with his gigs at that Arena
making big money.

The Yank team that own this Arena
are driving there now with MJ

12 years we have not seen him Live
so many will want to see and enjoy his band.


The problem now is he is Late
and the X factor Live fans are not happy.
As their show stars soon,
but it is now after the MJ talk.

[arista]

He is on stage now Live



He looks well
July concerts
and this is his Final British Concerts.



He spoke Alone

'This Is It'


Wow he is ready.


Live on radio and TV news.

[supernoodles!]

well that wasn`t very helpful was it lol.

[arista]

He looked fit
and did well with the fans.
It was brief but needed

July Docklands 02 Arena ' This Is It' The Final London
gig of Michael Jackson

Are you high? Good luck trying to get tickets to that. MJ is one of those performers people put in their things to do before I die list. Watch a Michael Jackson concert. It will sell out before you blink.

[arista]

Bang On Right
Aint Mad Atcha



Just on SkyNews at that Arena
one promoter CEO Mr Hallet
said tickets are at £50 , £65 & £75.

I think it will sell fast.

It will be a sell out
Worldwide Fans are going.


They have put out a text number
but that does not ensure
you get a ticket.

It will be a Rush.


I would go there in person
to get a ticket
as I think many can be sold and resold fast.



http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/03/05/article-1159645-03BFE889000005DC-119_224x350.jpg

Randy Phillips of AEG who own that Arena
set this all up.

[MarkWaldorf]

I'm surprised he even got up for this. Last time I checked the man was wheel-chair bound.

I would love to see wacko jacko, that would be cool.

'I'll be performing the songs my fans want to hear,' he told them. 'This is it, I mean this is really it. The final curtain call and I'll see you in July. And... I love you. I really do. You have to know that. Really from the bottom of my heart.

Dream On.

In Front of World press
and a great deal of time driving to get there
he had to be quick as Dermot
was waiting to start the X Factor Live show.


Andyman
he has loads of folks that look like him
but the Man that is Funding (Randy Phillips) this
is not about to look like a con.



You are in a Dream world.



I am sure Sky News would have told us.


You are wrong.

[andyman]

The face was not the same, the movement was not the same, voice was not right... That guy was younger than the real jacko... I think the same double will be used on stage.

That guy was not 50... He is years away from that age! That was not the real jacko! And it is not for sky news to say it was a fake, sky report the news, they would report it if the truth came out because that would be news!!

Lets say the real jacko becomes ill during the tour, double steps in! It happens and many do that for pop videos, nothing new about it.

Yes he was 50

1. a wig
2. Make up.

Good point.

What would be the point in a look-a-like? :laugh:

[supernoodles!]

argh I`m so nervous about getting hold of tickets for this,I have to get them one way or another.Seriously Id do anything to get hold of a ticket.Can`t believe some people think they wont sell out straight away are you serious?

[Sod_James]

Arent they doing the same thing they done with the spice girls where u have to register for tickets?

[Annie]

I heard this on the radio today and apparently he only actually got to speak for like 15-20 seconds and just kept saying "I love you all" cos the crowd kept drowning him out by singing.

Its a shame that he needs to do this just to get some money though. And his LAST tour.. Its a great shame that hes needing to do his last tour only for money and not really the fans.

It is the Last Tour for London only.


He has great talent
and with a Top Band with him
he we will be cool.

Without that money
he has very little left now
so I think its good he is doing the 10 shows.


He had to be fast as Dermot was getting ready
for the X-Factor Live show.

I doubt that very much,
Lol I dont think your mum is a miracle worker, and thats a bit mean depriving someone else of a ticket when you dont even like MJ. But i doubt your magical mum will be able to get a ticket.

[arista]

Yes this Register scam
gets that arena group
able to send Spam Text for some time.


I would hope soon Tickets will be Sold
without this type of scam.

[Sod_James]

I think thats a bit of a waste of time and really annoying. why cant they just release for sale to the general public like they do with other concerts. They did it with the spice girls tour aswell i believe.

[arista]

Promoters that a part of the Deal want there Spam Text sent out
first.

I think when the Tickets come out they will be resold by many
sellers.

£75 for best seats
£65 for 2nd best
£50 up the back.

Are the Official prices.

[arista]

20,000 hits a minute (in todays papers)
the MJ show site is getting.

They should allow at least 70% for folks
in the UK first.

This is going to be a Bloodbath on the dancefloor
to try and get tickets.

[Lauren]

I'm so glad I'm not an MJ fan, I go mad when there's a rush for tickets I want. Good luck for those wanting tickets.

[Callum]

I want to go and my dad's a huge Jackson fan so I'll probably end up going. :hugesmile:

[Bigbrofanatic!]

Im so desperate for tickets, i will cry if i dont! Im a dedicated HUGE fan, so THIS IS IT for me to lol, ive gotta get them. Of course these tickets are gonna sell out quicker than any other artist. Its Michael Jackson for goodness sake! He is the BUSINESS! lol.

Im worried about getting tickets to, im so scared i wont get them. Ive been waiting for this for years... and its finally here- its all so nerveracking! Theres been such a big build up and you hear all these stories, oh man, this is big!

[arista]

I've heard they go on Sale at 7AM this Friday.
I assume thats the Arena, but not sure.

I hope there is not to many buying just for Profit

[letmein]

He isn't big in America, so this was a smart move.

With the tickets being so cheap, they're likely to be sold out quickly. There is talk that he'll do an additional 10 dates, making it somewhere around 20 or possibly more. He's contract is for a couple of years, and it is never ending where touring is concerned. He could continue with the tour for longer if the demand is high.

Remember though, this is Michael Jackson who will back out at the last minute and risk being thrown into prison for breach of contract. Hopefully, he'll do the shows.

[arista]

He will noy get chucked in prison over a contract
because he does not get paid in Full until after the event.
And AEG can refund anyone.


He wants these shows
as it is his last chance with a good Company AEG.

Reports he is having trouble sleeping
it would be best to get the Band to start
doing music tests with him.


Beware of Sites like this
http://www.aceticket.co.uk/mytickets.php?event_id=4961&category_id=3&sub_category_id=1078&currencycode=GBP

Tickets from the AEG Arena are £50 , £65 & £75
so it is worth going to them only.


They say average face value at £75
but then want 300 hundred pounds.
for a 50 pound ticket.

That above sites says
VIP Block £1,500.00
Front Third Lower Level £725.00
Front Third Upper Level £625.00
General Reserved Seats £295.00

Average Face Value: £75.00


That site is a Google tracked ad on this site.


This is why it is going to sell out fast.

[arista]

MJ is back in America working on how the shows
will work best for him.

Most Tickets have been Pre-Sold.
This is due to Worldwide demand.

[Harry!]

My mum is seeing him at the 02

[Fom]

I was looking at tickets before, couldn't find any below £100

[Dom:D]

My auntie is going!:bigsmile:

[arista]

30 dates
due 19 dates have sold out on pre-sale.

You can buy them direct in person at that arena
if you phone or text them it is a lucky dip.

This is the Problem
all these Worldwide people wanting tickets
the Arena pesold 19 dates.


The only way of getting a Ticket for sure
and not paying over
is from that arena.

[Sod_James]

I got my pre sale code this morning but i dunno if i can be arsed to go. i might just buy tickets then just sell them on ebay for shed laods more.

[MarkWaldorf]

I think many people have been mislead about this. They think it's his "final conert tour" ever, when really it's the last time he'll play in the UK.

[arista]

BBC London News

They also said beware
as there is 14 Illegal sites selling tickets that will not be valid.

FIFTY?

it is Now the Fastest Ever Selling Gigs

Every Ticket for the 50 gigs is Sold.
Online 6 a second went.


And due to other Acts at that AEG Arena
MJ's gigs are from July to next Feb.

Giving MJ a rest in the middle.

Randy Phillips of AEG
is clever.

LOL! I told you not to acknowledge the most laughable claim on this thread!

[Sod_James]

Yep i sure was. although at least im man enough to admit when im wrong.

[Bells]

I actually think they're all sold out, despite him extending this. Of course he's crazy, but he's also a legend. So many current stars of today have modelled themselves on him and I would say still can't touch him! A true entertainer. I'm worried if he's in a fit state to perform so much, but there are blatantly so many that want to see him. It's a shame this is his last tour (well, here anyway) - I really wish I could have seen him. :( I'm hoping it's not his last show EVER though. I hope it goes well - having looked back on old performances etc. on Youtube, it looks promising.

[Barbie]

Friends are telling me to sell my ticket.. yeah i will make as profit but i want to see his tour.. it might be the only chance i get... so would rather take it

Yes I would see him.

Making Money is fine
but catching a Rare Live Gig in London
with MJ is a so in demand
from real fans.
This is Good Music
with a Drummer keeping the beat.


And the Music Mag Press said it is
Wall to Wall Classics.

I like 1979's 'Get On The Floor'
DJ's in London remixed that
and added a Sax solo.
