London: More than 750,000 Michael Jackson fans can get full refunds for the pop star's cancelled 50-night "This is It" concert extravaganza - or opt to receive souvenir tickets instead, the promoters announced.
In a move that could help recoup some of its losses from the ill-fated tour, Los Angeles-based AEG Live said fans could choose to receive the actual tickets, which it said feature graphics "inspired and designed" by Jackson himself.Images of the tickets, complete with a 3-D effect, can be viewed on the Web site www.MichaelJacksonLive.com beginning today, AEG said in a statement. Fans have until August 14 to take the ticket offer.
For those opting for a refund, all service charges paid to authorised ticket sellers will be included, the statement said.
Fans spent more than $90 million (Dh330 million) on tickets, which were priced between $82 and $124, though some went for hundreds of dollars on internet auction sites.
