First of all I just want to say Hi because this is my first post on this forum
I just read this whole thread from the begining because I, like the rest of you am waiting for my souvenir tickets to come (August 26th) I was SO annoyed that's it's nearly the end of September and the tickets still hadn't come (I thought it was ridiculous in the first place that we had to pay for these tickets, they should have given them to us for free as they knew full well how devestated all his fans were about his death) but I was slightly relieved when some of you started posting pictures of the tickets you had recieved recently (it's nice of them to include the memorial booklet, I wasn't expecting that) so I started feeling more positive about the whole ticket situation until I read that they are giving FIVE HUNDRED tickets away for FREE. ARE THEY JOKING????
I am so pissed off I can't even put it into words. This the biggest insult ever. The fact that they had the cheek in the first place to offer the tickets in lieu of a refund, but now they are just giving them away for free? The thing that saddens me the most about this whole situation is you know for a fact that most people that turn up for the free tickets aren't going to be fans, but people who want to earn some money selling the tickets on ebay. So instead of these tickets being in the hands of Michael's most loyal fans who wanted to keep them as a sentimental souvienir they're now going to be all over the place being sold for profit.
I really am so upset by this :-(
