    Hey pink

    Once the hysteria has died down you will probably be able to pick up tickets on ebay for not much above face value. I pity the fools who are paying £400+ for £75 tickets.

    Even the touts will take less than that 5 minutes before the show starts.

    I did this a few years ago at a Bon Jovi concert and paid £25 for £35 face value tickets at Wembley.

    Good luck

    Exactly, people without tickets should just remain patient.

    the trick was to get up early. I had everything set up by 5 to 7. I had the number for northern ireland O2 and dialled on that, had house phone set to London O2. Had son's laptop and house computer ready to go:rotfl:

    I found the Ireland number more efficient than London's which crashed, in fact that's how my daughter bought her tickets! So if he does release anymore date take note.

    AMD

    Which Northern Ireland O2 number did you use?? Was it one of these numbers:

    0818 719 300
    (01) 819 8888

    If it was one of those numbers, and more tickets became available, what would I dial?? Just thought that the numbers looked a bit short like the dialling code was missing.

    I can't believe the tickets are selling like hot cakes at £75+. Does no one feel the recession?
    Granted I don't have a lot of disposable income but I went to a concert last year with my favorite band, who has only played 3 times in 10 years and the 2 first times was in Japan. Price - £35. Honestly, I don't think I would have paid much more. I'm sure it wasn't as big and impressive as MJ but still....£75 is a lot of money - for me anyway.

    Sorry if this has been repeated loads of times now but I've only read this page (and don't intend to read all 79).

    My suspicion would be the only chance of him losing his voice is if the cd player backstage malfunctions.... ;)

    The idiot is trying to sell his tickets again, even after he has been told that it is not allowed. :rolleyes:
