special pre-screening in LA for 3,000 fans

you'd have to pay me to do that!! i bet they think they are so clever the way they can manipulate fans like this.
 
Am i wrong in feeling a little annoyed as i, among many others have paid for our lenticular tickets & 500 are being given away free?

I'm bloody pissed! I paid 85 pounds for that ticket (almost $200CDN.) I was one of the lucky ones who made the valiant effort to get tickets for his show in London, and fly from Canada to see it. Once again, we're getting the short end of the stick. I understand and I empathize if people tried for tickets and didn't get them. But for those who did, we're getting screwed over, again.

What annoys me the most is that we have to wait till wenever for tickets that we paid for and people who are getting them for free will proberbly get them b4 us on the 27th september! Its not fair :(
 
I just don't even think the ticket is worth it anymore. I'm going to call Ticketmaster and ask for a refund instead. AEG knew when they gave us the option of buying tickets that we were still at our most vulnerable and most of us would. Now that it's been a little way, more people are starting to see reason and regret buying one. I for one want my money back to buy the Opus.
 
oh man...why only in L.A.??



and about the whole free ticket thing..well 500 lucky people...

and I guess I'm just a shmuck that AEG pulled a fast one on..I am still waiting for my *floor seat section A3,row R ticket* which...cost me an amount I shall not name...
 
Why in the world are they doing this. They are gonna milk the heck outta michael. How unfair is it to show it early in LA first. Um whats the point. Sigh. Im so sick of aeg until its unreal. They make me not even want to go see TII.

Then giving away souvenir tickets. Um its probably the leftover from the fans who bought tickets but choose a full refund. Um helllllo stupid aeg you could have just given them to those fans. Now you want to make fans queue up for some movie ticket. PLEEAZZZZZZZZZZZE!

Im officially DONE with AEGreedy)!
 
LA fans get everything!!! And I wonder how the people who bought tickets to the actual shows feel? They couldn't get their money back but for the small price of a movie ticket those 3k fans get that same ticket for free!!!! That seems unbalanced to me but I guess that is business for you.

LOL MikeJoeFan - AEGreedy!!
 
well after listening to this interview with AEG I am once again disgusted.....they are making people stand in line for tickets...also selling them on the internet. They are treating this as though it was the o2 concerts all over again....I have to admit some nice things were said about Michael...BUT....they are stilling trying to make the biggest hype over the release of the movie as possible....I bet the 2 week announcement will mean nothing that is just to get people to hurry and go then they will see the demand and they will stretch the dates in theaters.....just like they did with the concerts..10 went to 50....shame ..shame ..shame ..on then.

Michael the world is going to be a quieter place without the sound of your voice,
without the sound of your dancing shoes. The world will be a little darker without your bright smile.
Your light continues to burn bright within my heart. Shine on in heaven Michael, shine on in heaven.
