    sorr @ bloaty! just a tad bit annoying when you spent 7 hours on the site yesterday and still no tickets.

    No need to apologise as we all understand and are very frustrated too.

    Just keep trying you never know. We have heard of some good successes lately and you or me could be next.

    Must go now or I'l be getting the SACK!

  • Has any one got a presale code I may use?
    I got sent a presale code yesterday & didn't know he was releasing more dates so I tried all I could with the code I had last night and now I'm at work with no access to emails because it's a banned site :(

    I can't believe it it's just one thing after another trying to get these tickets & I'm probably going to have to buy them off ebay at an extortinate price at this rate & I only want to go see Jacko for the 1st time in 23 years that I've been a fan......

    I am totally disgusted at how this concert has been promoted; yesterday my sis in law spent 5 hours trying to buy tickets for a concert that was promoted as being his last and would only be for a smallish amount of dates at the O2. We were given the code and finally after much frustration managed to purchase 3 tickets for July, these are not the greatest seats but yet we have been charged a stupid amount for them when in normal circumstances these would be the cheapest and no doubt the last to sell.

    Today I wake to find the Mr Jackson now has almost 40 dates and the tour is going on through next year, so it seems that all that's happened is he's conned his fans who have spent hours trying to go to a concert which they were led to believe would be his last and only a select amount of dates.

    Ticketmaster have only basically released the tickets that they probably would never have sold if we'd known how many dates were actually going to end up available and no doubt as I speak more will be added to the 40 already showing.

    The code was meant to be something that with some luck some of his fans would get their tickets in advance but all it's turned out to be is a nightmare and a whole load of genuine fans upset, angry and fed up and basically have been totally conned.

    If this is how Mr Jackson treats his fans then I am actually glad that it's his last tour and whilst I am extremely grateful to my brother for buying me a ticket as a present (and leaving himself short) it has left a very bitter taste in my mouth.

    3rd of feb now on sale

    just read this article ..............

    The number of people registered for tickets in France alone - 200,000 - are nearly enough to fill the 23,000 capacity O2 arena for all 10 nights.

    A source at Michael's website said: "We've had fans everywhere from Australia to Afghanistan applying for tickets, but the French have been especially keen. The tickets will be like gold dust."

    Last week, the pre-sale website crashed in under an hour due to overwhelming demand after fans were invited to register for the chance to get tickets.

    Michael is said to be performing every other night in order to ensure he gives his best performances possible.

    Another source said: "With space between each show, everyone involved can give 100 per cent each night."

    I haven't got tickets yet because the presale code was sent while I was at work for the presale that started at 7am, was sent yesterday at 11am obviously I cant access my email at work so tried the code at home had no joy all presale tickets sold to find out more dates added this morning & I've not got the code with me because I thought I'd missed my chance. One very disappointed fan & all I wanted to do was see him live for the 1st time ever :( it's obvious it's a scam/clever marketing to get rid of poor seats so I understand how you feel
