Tickets for Michael Jackson’s 02 shows?

You know at times like this my mind wonders to odd places. Evidently it’s very sad that Michael Jackson, the music worlds answer to Mr Burns, is dead but I think ‘Hmmmmmm I wonder who this is going to effect? Who is this going to impact on the most?”

I remember a few months back watching the news reports of fans who had queued for days in tents to buy his tickets for the forthcoming 02 arena shows. I remember how happy people were to get the tickets and how the publics love for Michael hadn’t diminished over the difficult child rape/bad music years.

Now if you queued for three days for tickets you must be pretty gutted at this point. Because you’ll never get those three days back AND you won’t see MJ play.

But then I remember the British student who queued for 3 days just so she could sell her tickets to Japanese business men for £10,000 a pop. That’s alot of freaking money, they must have been massive fans.

And of course they are the ones suffering the most because as macabre as it is all I can think about is them and their £10,000 slips of paper and how much shit they’re going to get at work tomorrow. I was haunted for weeks after my i-pod broke so Christ knows how they feel. I’d be freaking traumatised. They’re probably in the fetus position as we speak, listening to Bad and crying in their hands like a new born.

Duh! And someone paid $35k for a pair of $1k VIP tickets! Poor poor bastard. That’s the equivilent of coming home to find you’ve been robbed, your idol is dead and catching your wife in bed with your boss who has a penis like a giant pepper grinder. My heart goes out to them. I mean there isn’t much you can do about that is there?

“Hello is that ebay user mikeuk6? Yeah you sold me some Michael Jackson tickets and I was wondering if I could…..hello? …..HELLO?!?!…..”
