    fair point, I think the original question was valid but then we all started to get carried away! Shall I start a Jade thread - lol
    Well in the light of the fact that the OP was clearly a fan by means of having tickets - why not write the money off as a gesture of good will?
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Well that is like suggesting everyone sends a nice cheque to AEG

    Much as he had the biggest recording contract EVER, he still managed to rack up debts of around $400m!

    But to be fair with all the coverage (24hrs non stop on sky news) it does become a little tedious, he was only a singer after all - not like the Queen Mother or Princess Di now is it?

    Well, no - he had talent, they were famous for marrying royalty.

    Now I'm not bothered by MJ's death, not even a fan. But if you asked me which out of those three I want to mourn over, I think I know which two I wouldn't pick.

    He could have got onto a claims company and got it all written off if the agreement was pre 2007.

    of course the unused tickets will be collectable items
    Have tickets been issued then? Usually it is only a few weeks before the event
