I am talking about the vultures...the people asking ridiculous prices for tickets. I am being honest when i say i would sell tickets at the EXACT same price...if i had any left. No extras...so many people want profit from it, it's disgusting. It's one thing to see sites like Seatwave having such crap....but Viagogo as well?

In other words..AEG supports this ridiculous 'business' as well?

The second link has some beyond RIDICULOUS prices at the bottom...for floor tickets....
Even MJlive.com is taslking about it...wtf man.
 
Look at some of the prices on Viagogo...come on now. And it said this on MJlive.com, in a email i just received.

They are taking them to court?explain.



Missed your chance to purchase tickets? For secure premium and fan-to-fan sales, visit Viagogo.com.


 
The way I read it was that they would take them to court to prevent them selling tickets to touts, not fans (perhaps I got it wrong). The prices they have on their site are already over inflated.
 
This is quite unfair for those people like myself who are unable to go to the date they got (in the confusion of things i think many people took any day the could get without thinking)
I put mine on ebay with a reserve of face value (i didnt even add on the £9 service charge) and the demand is so high for them.

But for people like myself I have to make a decent penny out of these tickets so I can afford to buy another pair for a different date if i am unable to swap. And im looking at a minimum of £250 per ticket atm.

Do you see where im coming from?
 
From Viagogo:


"Why do the prices vary?
Availability and prices of tickets on the viagogo ticket exchange are driven by market demand.

Face value means the price printed on the "face" of the ticket. It can differ from the selling price, because the tickets on viagogo are sold at "market value". This is the price a consumer is willing to pay for a ticket to a specific event."


F*ck you Viagogo!!!!

Exactly...I went there after I failed with tickets and was like hang on this does not seem like fan to fan buying and selling!!
Blatently touts etc who bought a load and are now ripping people off!
Hope (maybe wishful thinking) that AEG will put a stop to this, so the prices go down for those who couldnt get tickets or need tickets for different dates!
 
I finnally had a chance to go thanks to them lot adding dates and now shit like this is keeping me from getting a ticket....

Well it seems that you would make a very nice profit if you sold 1 ticket for £250!! I can see exactly where you're coming from. Just a shame for long time fans like me and others.
 
the AEG is a big money hungry corporation they know what they're doing it's a way of exploiting the mania
 
Look this is bull shit, its the only way fans will be able to get tickets now trading is great but if AEG did it properly and gave fans first choice then this shit wouldn't of happend.

There are loads of fans who never got tix, in the old days this would not of happend, and never with mjni

This is a ripp off and a money makeing fiasco
 
never ever have i gone though this not since seeing him on the bad tour in 1988, even the hard core fans have found it hard.

There are going to be people who aren't even worthy of mike in the audience now tell me if that is right

mike needs to know he is being scammed and is being treated as a money makeing machine and not the artist he is and that is careing about his real fans, not the scalpers who sell his tix to shitty people who dont give a fuck

I can't believe how many tickets are going on sale little own for tripple or more than tripple the price! How the hell did this greedy con artists manage to steal so many that could of been brought by a REAL fan for the orginal price? I don't get it!

I was sad I didn't get tickets but now so angry after seeing why !!!
 
I completely agree. There should have been presale codes sent to those registered on the main Michael Jackson fansites, so that all fans got a chance of getting tickets before the greedy and exploitative got their grubby hands on them. I'll never forget when i wanted to go see Keane in Hull and it had sold out. I managed to get hold of 2 tickets in the end, but at the end of what was a fantastic show there were a few women at the back who were absolutely plastered from having had way too much to drink, saying that they only went for the atmosphere and the bar! Grr. Just infuriates me that people like this buy tickets even though theyre not that bothered whether they go or not, and leave people who are desperate without tickets :(
 
sadly MJ got involved with people who are trying to squeeze every last cent out of him and his fans, they know MJ is big business that's why there are so many shows at the O2 that's where their money will come from. I hope MJ will regain enough strength and popularity so that he can have more control over these things
 
i can find one word for it...........


disgusting.....
i never sell my tickets, not even for 10 000.... no way.
When i would sell i will ask normal prices.... and only for the real fans

I wish only people like that got all the tickets. But noooooo they want to exploit us fans :(
 
Why do I feel we fans, not all, were somewhat used to push the sale of these tickets and now others who don't even go to MJ concerts are selling them to make a profit. I don't want to sound bad here...you guys are all happy and deserve to be...but it's the greedy money grabbers ( as Michael would say) that always seem to get in the way of Michael
 
Well something like this was bound to happen bc everyone knows there's a huge demand and that Mike is really popular ( even though they don't want to admit it) so of course they try to bank on it.
What annoys me is that AEG made that deal with viagogo and they screwed everyone over.
And then the AmEx BS... Sigh!
 
I have tried to find a ticket at viagogo, but I was amazed by the prices. They are huge! :(
 
I guess some of us unlucky ones are gonna have to go broke to see MJ.
