Michael Jackson Comeback Tickets Fetching Thousands On eBay

From this morning's pre-sale...

Tickets for Michael Jackson's summer comeback gigs in London are already exchanging hands for thousands of pounds online.

Prices on auction site eBay currently range from £150 for two tickets to £8,500 for two hospitality packages.

The pre-sale for Jackson's O2 Arena concerts, which will be his last ever performances in London, opened this morning at 7am.

Primary tickets range from £50 to £75 for floor seating. These are now being sold by fans on secondary market ticket websites for inflated prices.

In order to match demand, organsiers have added an additional 15 dates, extending Jackson's residency to 25 shows.

Over a million people have registered for the chance to buy tickets to the concerts, which get under way on July 8th.

Jackson, now 50, has not performed a full concert since he was cleared of child molestation charges in 2005. His last full tour, entitled HIStory, took place in 1996 and '97.

In total, the singer is expected to earn upwards of $400m for his comeback, which also includes a 3D film deal.

The remaining tickets for Jackson's gigs will go on general sale on March 13th at 7am.

  • They should have made people register for tickets like they do for Glasto,then everyone would get a fair chance at tickets,at the right price and without the touts getting hold of them.
