    Hi,

    I got tickets in block B1 this morning, so they are giving out some good ones.

    Out of interest, what is the capacity each night please? Anyone know?

    Cheers,
    Karen

    I thought Michael Jackson was only doing July dates only

    I think a lot of fans thought that, hence trying so hard to get tickets with our "pre-sale" code which was actually a great marketing ploy of conning fans to buy cack seats when the chances are he's going to have so many dates at the O2 that they will end up on bogof!

    i still cant get onto michael jackson webpage or ticketmaster any other ideas?

    Yep, wait until they go on general sale and get a decent seat for the price. I can't see how they are selling the dearest seats at the very top of the arena.

    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......

    Come on someone give her a code, she really was on here all day yesterday :)

    Pre-sale is a con these days anyway, especially for events at the O2.
    Once upon a time, the only way to get pre-sale was to be a fan club member of the artist performing.
    Nowadays it's as simple as being an O2 customer and responding to a text message.
    Really it's just a general sale being split into two segments.

    Additionally a pre-sale does not contain only the best seats. It contains a percentage of each type of seat.....

    Whilst I do agree that it's wrong that the promoters are gradually revealing more dates, it was known in advance that there were likely to be upto 50 performances.

    I've seen it happen before especially with "Last night of tour" performances.
    A few years ago Bon Jovi said that their Wembley Stadium performance on a Saturday night was going to be the last show in Europe.
    Lo and behold, it sold out and they added a Sunday night.... making that the last night of the tour (even though both shows were moved to Milton Keynes).
    Better still, they went and added a Monday night show in Hull!!!

    The whole thing does seem rather odd adding on so many dates over several months etc. It kind of takes the novelty off the tour. Can't imagine all of the dates being sold out and I feel that there'll be a lot of disappointed fans when the later shows may possibly get cancelled. Just my opinion ;) Hope I'm wrong though. I'm going to try tomorrow for July when they go on general release even though I got a presale code.
