AEG Live to Refund Michael Jackson Concert Tickets
AEG Live announced in a message on the Michael Jackson "This Is It" concert website that full refunds will be available to fans who purchased tickets through authorised agents for any of the 50 Michael Jackson "This Is It" concerts which were to take place at The O2 Arena in London. AEG Live says these refunds will include all ticket service charges.
Ticket holders requiring information about receiving a full refund should go to michaeljacksonlive.com from Wednesday, July 1, 2009. The refunds will be processed by each of the authorised ticket agencies (e.g. Ticketmaster, Viagogo, See or Ticketline).
The BBC says people can also keep the tickets if they forego a refund.
The tickets feature lenticular images, which give them a 3D moving effect.
Eight different versions of the tickets were printed and AEG Live said fans had been contacting authorised booking agencies to ask whether they could keep them.
The concert promoter didn't really have a choice but to offer a refund.
