    A jacko concert ticket is hardly a monthly outgoing that people need to figure out if they can commit too.

    People do still have money!

    I suspect most of these buyers are in fact curtain salesmen. Either that, or investors in silver.

    The recession and spending isn't all black and white

    Its bad, we all know its bad, but a lot of people, working day and night, will get home, look at the man in the mirror and say 'I can't help it, I need to burn this disco out take out the Lady in my Life' and then they'll beat it to the ticket office and spend their Money. Thats Human Nature, is it scary?

    Don't stop till you get enough.

    (Keep the faith, I'll be gone too soon,)

    Had a look at his last 'performance' on youtube in 2006, this tour is going to be awful :)

    I'm sure it will be great 'car crash' entertainment though, and what better way to realise how fortunate you are to be a sane, normal human being, than to go and watch wacko jacko perform.
