I had a ticket for what was supposed to be the last show (Feb 24th) before he moved the first couple of dates to march... but unfortunately my mother was the purchaser, so I'm sure she'll just want to get her money back. Either that, or we'll keep the tickets and sell them on ebay for three million dollars.

Why not still go the gig and be unaware to the staff that he's dead?

Get the thriller outfit on and everything.

thats taking the piss... the actual piece of card ticket has NO value whatsoever and the company should be obliged to give a refund to people who have proof of purchase... they don't need the tickets back at all, I knew this would happen! haha

It would be great to have the ticket as a collectable.

I see it as one massive con myself, I mean AEG Live have surely lost millions on this? think about all the people that would of been employed for this tour (dancers,stage designers,security,backstage staff over 50 dates!) these would of all had contracts signed maybe? The whole sending the ticket back for a collectable is a way so they can keep your money

I imagine that a small percentage will do this but if you do the math of the number of people whom were to attend its looking like quids in for AEG.

Guess AEG Live dont have Insurance ;)

Wouldn't it be great if they still did 10 dates at the arena with the backdrop, dancers & stageshow et al but got famous folks to fill in and do a tribute show? Surely they must have thought of it by now.

I don't think you get what they're offering. They're not asking for tickets back, they haven't even been sent out yet. If you bought a ticket through an official ticket agency, you have two choices:

1) Send off for a refund and get full cost of the ticket back.
2) Pay the money and get the ticket to keep as a souvenir (or more likely, to sell in 5 years at 10 times what you paid for the original ticket).

So upsetting. It would've been so amazing. I like that song a lot too. God, I bet the setlist was amazing. When they release it, I'm going to be so bloody well upset.

Im suprised he sounds like that good. I remember when he "sang" We Are The World in London in 2004, and well, the words he did sing were kinda bad.
