LONDON (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Michael Jackson has added more gigs to his stand at the O2 arena, bringing the total number to an impressive 50 shows.
Tickets for the performance have been moving at a rate of 20,000 tickets per hour for 18 hours. The tickets are going for 75/65/50 pounds sterling, which means that if they sell out, the shows will gross roughly $75 million.
If they sell out, more than 1 million fans will attend the 50 shows, approximately 1/7th of the entire population of London. If a tour will develop out of this remains to be seen but it must be something AEG is at least pondering, based on these numbers.
Michael is said to be 'thrilled' by the response and wanted as many fans to share the experience with him as possible.
Randy Phillips, President & CEO of AEG Live, commented, "Not only are these concerts unparalleled, these records will never be broken! We knew this was show business history, but this is a cultural phenomenon."
Tickets go onsale on March 13th and the new shows are – 30th July, 1st August, 3rd August, 10th August, 12th August, 17th August, 19th August, 24th August, 26th August, 28th August, 30th August, 1st September, 3rd September, 6th September, 8th September, 10th September, 21st September, 23rd September, 27th September, 29th September, 7th January, 9th January, 12th January, 14th January, 16th January, 18th January, 23rd January, 25th January 27th January, 29th January, 1st February, 3rd February, 8th February, 10th February, 12th February, 16th February, 18th February, 20th February, 22nd February and 24th February. – CelebrityAccess Staff Writers
