Jackson sells out.

**Cujo** · 24-03-2009, 11:17 AM

All things considered I'm quite surprised.

LONDON, March 13 (UPI) -- Organizers of pop star Michael Jackson's shows at London's O2 Arena, set to begin in July, say all 50 scheduled concert dates are sold out. The BBC said more than 1 million tickets to Jackson's "This Is It" London concert series have been sold.
The 50-year-old U.S. recording artist, who last toured 12 years ago, initially announced plans for 10 London gigs, but more were added due to the overwhelming response from fans.
"We never thought '50 shows' and frankly based on the queues on Ticketmaster, plus the 300,000 registrants we still haven't issued codes to (for online ticket buyers,) we could spend two years here," AEG Live's Randy Phillips told BBC Radio 1's "Newsbeat" program.
"Mike asked me how long he would be in the United Kingdom for and I told him, probably long enough to get a British passport," Phillips added. "Michael's already pretty much put together a list of the dancers he wants. Michael's very engaged now."
The BBC said some tickets to the Jackson shows are being re-sold on eBay for thousands of dollars apiece.

Me too mate.

I suppose they have called it the MJ "Believe it or not tour".

Gome one.........come all and see the one and only child molesting "The Elephant Man".

Fookin talented performer though!

Shouldn't surprise anyone. How easily manipulated and indoctrinated that we are.

**Attilla the Hen** · 24-03-2009, 11:24 AM

Yes, surprised considering he peaked 25 years ago with Thriller.

No, but he will have a small boy beat it, he don't seem to much for girls.

I,m sure he won't fulfill his commitment 50 gigs is a lot of work for a fifty year old mental.

**Texpat** · 24-03-2009, 02:12 PM

Some people just can't get enough of those pedo prancing entertainers.

When is the Glitter Glam Show hitting the road again?

Where were these shows sold out?

Especially since he hasn't performed in years and years, and has cancelled many of his 'come back tours' in the past. Wasn't he in a wheel chair not long back? 50 shows!? that's wacko...

I liked the cereal commercial MJ filmed:

"The kid in me likes the frosted side but the grown up in me likes the kid in me."

**Attilla the Hen** · 24-03-2009, 06:26 PM

What's the betting that he'll faint on stage and cancel the rest of the shows because of "exhaustion"?

**impact** · 24-03-2009, 06:31 PM

In Thailand, due to instability, there is slim chance to see any big international acts due to cancellation which means they can't be insured. Rod Stewart earlier this month will probably be the last "big" one.

Yet MJ who has been seeing in a wheel chair quite recently is good to go?? Odd....

I assume he's doing FIFTY shows because he needs the money.

Otherwise it would be a handful of shows, to get him back on stage.

He's got financial problems, I hear.

**El Verdugo** · 24-03-2009, 08:26 PM

Most likely, 50%+ of the tickets were purchased by speculators/scalpers and will reappear shortly on eBay sporting a markup consistent with a show in such demand.

**Muadib** · 24-03-2009, 08:37 PM

He was quite entertaining when he was black... Now that he's white, he's just another pedo...

Perhaps he should re-kindle the Black and White Minstrels show, big deal in UK 40 years ago

**barbaro** · 25-03-2009, 02:43 AM

50 shows?

I bet the turnout will drop after the first 10. Even in London.

We'll see..........

**mad_dog** · 25-03-2009, 02:57 AM

Jackson has a good fan base; older women who are more likely to buy CDs and pay to go to a seating only concert and psycho
fans who obsses about him and buy limited edition CDs like "THRILLER PLATINUM" same songs shiney new box!!

black dog says:

**Jackson sold his bitch ass out back in 1983 when he started bleechun him skin and writing love songs that's wack That mutha fucka so sold out should call hisself Wollworths biatchhh
