After receiving a letter from eleven-year-old fan Ladonna Jones, in which she accuses the Jacksons and the promoters of being 'selfish and just out for money,' Michael Jackson held a press conference to announce changes in the Tour's organization and also to announce that his share of the proceeds from the Tour would be donated to charity. Ladonna Jones later received VIP treatment at the Jacksons concert in Dallas, Texas.
The following is Michael's speech at a press conference on July 5, 1984, the day before the tour began:
"We're beginning our tour tomorrow and I wanted to talk to you about something of great concern to me. We've worked a long time to make this show the best it can be. But we know a lot of kids are having trouble getting tickets. The other day I got a letter from a girl in Texas named Ladonna Jones. She'd been saving her money from odd jobs to buy a ticket, but with the current tour system, she'd have to buy four tickets and she couldn't afford that. So, I've asked our promoter to work out a new way of distributing tickets, a way that no longer requires a $120.00 money order. There has also been a lot of talk about the promoter holding money for tickets that didn't sell. I've asked our promoter to end the mail order ticket system as soon as possible so that no one will pay money unless they get a ticket. Finally, and most importantly, there's something else I am going to announce today. I want you to know that when I first agreed to tour, I decided to donate all the money I make from our performances to charity."
