Michael Jackson, the undisputed ‘King of Pop’ has announced a UK tour, and as you can imagine Michael Jackson tickets are going to be as hot as the five Golden Tickets released by Willy Wonka, only this time the treat will be to see the ‘real’ Michael Jackson!
As soon as the rumours started circulating earlier this year that Michael Jackson was to announce a final world tour in 2009, the frenzied excitement began.
Last week a television advert was shown just before the results of Saturday night’s prime time Dancing On Ice programme, promoting Michael Jackson’s final ‘This Is It’ UK tour.
The tv advert was watched by around 11 million people and showed the ‘King of Pop’ being greeted by screaming fans in London. Jackson, wearing dark glasses and looking in good health, was shown doing his trademark Moonwalk dance.
Concert Tickets for the UK shows went on sale last Friday morning at 7am (13th March), but with more than one million people registering for pre-sale tickets, these are probably the most sought after concert tickets in the UK since Led Zeppelin’s one-off reunion at London’s O2 Arena in 2007.
Michael Jackson originally announced there would be just 10 shows but that has already been extended to a staggering 50 London shows.
In 1988 Michael Jackson performed seven sold out concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium, with 72,000 attending each concert. The total number of people in attendance of this residence was a staggering 504,000 which earned Michael Jackson a Guinness World Record.
The ‘This Is It’ UK tour begins on Wednesday 8th July at London’s prestigious O2 Arena and includes a residency of dates through July, August and September 2009. He will then return for more dates at the London O2 Arena through January and 24th February 2010.
Michael Jackson returned to the United States after the press conference to begin rehearsals for the tour.
As you can imagine tickets are sold out but you can buy concert tickets for all major events at viagogo.
