Days after he announced his now 13 date comeback at London’s O2 arena, today 100,000 tickets for the concert initially went on pre-sale today for some lucky fiends. Unfortunately, the website has now crashed after getting about 2 million visitors in the first hour…sounds like a typical day at the.LIFE Files offices……………..
According to UK’s Daily Mail:
Concert organizers, AEG Live, then announced on Jackson’s website that further shows would be added to the tour, releasing more tickets. At first, only two new shows were announced, but that soon grew to four, then six and then nine, and finally 13. By 9am, all pre-sale tickets for the This Is It tour – 190,000 in total – had been sold. Within minutes of the first tickets going on sale they were appearing on auction website eBay. By 4pm 2,200 buyers had posted their tickets for sale, at inflated prices of up to £10,000 [about $14,000] for a front row seat. A source told the London Evening Standard that AEG was prepared to add up to 20 extra dates today and up to 20 more from Friday when they go on sale to the general public.
