Tickets for Michael Jackon’s summer residency at London’s O2 Arena have gone on sale.
Fans can by tickets for all 50 dates, which commence on July 8th.
The first 30 dates will run until September. After a short break, Jackson will return to the UK for twenty dates in January and February.
Over 360,000 tickets were sold during a pre-sale on Wednesday and Thursday, at a rate of 33 per minute.
In total, Jackson’s 50 shows will see him perform to over one million people.
Tickets for the initial dates began appearing on eBay on Wednesday morning for as much as £10,000 a pair.
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.
