FANS sent souvenir tickets, after refusing refunds for Michael Jackson’s ill-fated London concerts, were cashing in by selling them on auction websites.
Bosses at AEG Live, which was promoting the 50 This Is It gigs at the O2, said they were treating fans with the “same reverence” as Jackson did by offering refunds or specially-designed hologram tickets last week.
But, as dozens of the tickets appeared on Ebay, some sellers were asking prices of £170 each – up to £100 above their original price.
Thousands of fans were left anxiously waiting to see if they would get their money back after the singer’s death.
They had originally sold at a rate of 11 per second, 657 per minute and nearly 40,000 an hour, with face prices of £50 to £75.
