yeah right, that is some seriously psychological marketing technique.

Not really. I reckon they will become collectable in many years

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

thats probably true, but there are close to 1 million tickets dont forget, hardly limited edition. Its the way they are planting the seed in minds though, switching people from demanding refunds to thinking "Mmmm, maybe I'ld rather keep these...."

What a waste of money.

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

Quite likely they will become collectable in the future.

That isnt to say that AEG Live wont be doing everything in their power to encourage people not to claim their money back. They self insured many of those dates because no other insurance company would cover them.

You Mr Nunes De Santos are an idiot in the first place. It wasnt to much to pay to watch someone prancing about on stage either you dont think?

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

Imagine the ruckass you could cause in one of these discussions saying that a friend gave you some tickets for nothing as he doesn't want them, then offer them out :lol:

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

How can they become collectible with so many in circulation? There must be too many for them to be worth anything ever.

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

They must be really really bad..

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

If you could get a complete set of 50...........

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!

i cannot believe what the man is asking!! i checked the value about a year ago, worth about £30. if some mug pays i'm straight in the loft...erm...not thats where they are. erm. they're in a vault somewhere....

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

I've get a well used copy of Thriller, its a little dog eared and has a few scratches but surely its worth a fortune now?

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

*starts planning a night time assault on keiths loft*

No way, how does he work out that figure? bet he gets no bids at all.

Saying that some mug bid aver £5K on a 20p piece so anythings possible.

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

absolutely, completely ridiculous and if you look at some of the other prices for exactly the same product they're going for about £40-£50 ...

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

Indeed.

You're right though flymo - offering fans a chance to keep the tickets is quite a sneaky psychological ploy. However, some people may genuinely want to keep them as a way of holding onto MJ's memory? :smt017

I think original vinyls are more likely to be worth something in the future TBH. Ive actually got a mint copy of Thriller lurking about somewhere.

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

Maybe he meant £58.00 and put the decimal in the worng place then :lol:

either way hes a bit of an idiot if you ask me.

Re: Michael Jackson fans being offered chance to keep the tickets!
 

How generous of him.. free postage on an item worth £8,500+!
