    Just saw this and was amazed at how many people said at the beginning that chances were he wouldn't perform.

    Are you all fortune tellers? :confused:

    No but the man hadn't been in good health for a while, only 18 months ago he was too frail too even walk and was using a wheelchair. I think even those that bought tickets (like my OH) thought they only had a 50:50 chance at best of Michael actually performing.

    It has been sad news though that MJ has died and our thoughts must stay with his children in particular but I hope everyone gets their money refunded as quickly and painlessly as possible.

    If the OP is still around, if you did sell them I hope you are now in a position to refund the buyer quickly as the advice now is to ask sellers for a refund or consider small claims.

    It was in the media for weeks he had problems with health and attending rehearsals. Didnt expect him unfortunately to pass away

    Insurance companies wouldn't to touch him think the boss at AEG paid 300 million to insure him as he was a fan

    Wouldn't feel too sorry for AEG, it was them with MJ's greedy mgt team who increased the concerts to 50 from the original 10 he thought he had signed up to plus with the souvenir ticket idea they will avoid some refunds.

    Also according to paper today, they have film of his last rehersals which they are planning to bring out on DVD, this contrary to all the bad health press shows him at closer to his best than most people would expect.

    shady shady management. his manager need to be up before the courts. their 'actions' were disgusting. i guess thats what happens when the people u hire to keep things in order, just do whatever to secure their paycheck.

    I think that since it's MJ he might not perform anyway so I'd wait untill you get the tickets in hand and then put them on a 5 or 7 day auction on ebay.
    I think you will find that you will make a tidy profit from them anyway so don't worry yourself too much

    and now for this week's lottery numbers please snowdrop? :p
