CHEAP CONCERT TICKETS

Michael Jackson may have saved the tabloid news, magazine, and publishing industries. Records are not selling like they used to, Michael Jackson may have needed to tour in order to make up for lost record royalties. In death, Micheal Jackson may make up to twenty times in one year that he made in any year he lived and worked. In the aftermath of Michael Jackson’s death, MJ scored nine of the top ten tracks on iTunes and also held nine of the top 10 albums on iTunes. Word is that Michael Jackson has about 100 unreleased songs. Plus Jackson’s rehearsals at he Staples Center were video taped and may be released in the future.

In the future, there may be bigger celebrities that Michael Jackson, but there will never be another one with as much talent aura and odd behavior as Jackson. In some ways, his death reminds me of the death of Kurt Cobain, whose group Nirvana, pushed Michael Jackson’s Bad off the top spot of Billboard albums. Both artists seemed troubled, talented beyond belief, unable to cope with a comeback or acheive anything greater than they achieved in the past and are sorely missed.

AEG is offering a full refund including handling charges for the unused tickets for Jackson’s proposed 50 date London concert comeback. AEG is also offering purchasers to keep the ticket with out any refund. AEG may change its mind at some point and decide to offer the opportunity for Michael fans to keep their tickets as a momento for a nominal fee.
