This Is It - 50th Show (March 6th 2010)

  • Thread starter Dangerous Incorporated
  • Start date
I was supposed to be there :cry:

was supposed to sit in block 108 row N

This should have been a day of triumph and happiness not a day of mourning. I feel as if someone punched me
 
I had tickets to the September show, I couldn't wait, counted down everyday...until he died, I wasn't upset about the gig being cancelled, I was extremely upset about loosing a very important human being, GOD BLESS. I keep replaying the night I found out, hoping that he's only in a coma and not dead.
 
The last show should have finished by now, he would be taking off with MJ airlines by now...and then what? What would have come after this show? More concerts, a movie, would it really been his final curtain call?

Life is so unfair, I lost my faith in justice.
 
Sad day indeed. However, I remember what I was doing this time last year, freaking out that I was going to see Michael live for the first time! What a long way we have come. Still I appreciate Michael more and more everyday and am grateful for his time on Earth and those months of excitement we had :)
 
Between 10.30-11.00 all I could hear was thunderous applause. The thunderous applause that should have been. Michael thanking us all for being there and recieving his new Guinness World Records, the whole crowd cheering. This is what we should have been hearing, not the deafening silence that reality subjected me too. All I wanted to do was cry. Eight months later and I still do not understand why this happened. My heart is still breaking.
 
I just read my confirmation email again and was due to go on Monday 17th August. I remember having the personal high of the fact I got a ticket for a Michael Jackson concert! Then I got another feeling of happiness that Michael finally had something positive to work on and look forward to doing and delivering.

Reading about this last date really does hit home big time :( My heart is aching so much.

:weeping:
 
Can't believe it's been a year since the announcement. Oh my... we were soo happy... my first MJ concert!!

Yesterday I just held the ticket in my hand.. it says: March 6th 2010.
I just sighed...

And watched a few songs from TII again.

I'm still so sad about this, I don't understand. I hope we all get to go to one of his shows one day... somewhere, different place, different life.. I don't know. Keep the faith.
 
I had tickets for both the first and the last show. I had initially purchased tickets for July 14th which was moved to March 6th and then I bought the one for the first show, i did that about one week before June 25th. I was gonna buy another three tickets in between those two dates.

A few weeks ago when i bought some other plane tickets from the same company i saw on my online account for the trip planned for July the observation that the trip had taken place. I thought that was so very ironic.

I had actually forgotten about this yesterday and I usually have quite the elephant memory when it comes to dates and things i really care about, but now that i think of it i'm actually glad i didn't remember it.

It's awful tough for all of us, but i can only imagine what Michael's family, especially his kids, have gone through. WE GOTTA BE STRONG, there isn't really any other option.
 
This Is It would be over now... "After this we're making movies..."


:cry:
 
If this is hurting me so much...I can't bear to think what June 25, 2010 will be like...
Miss you Mike, give the angels a big hug from us down here ='(
God Bless.
 
Again, this is kind of the closing of another chapter.

Usually when someone passes, people always think "We'll never know what might have been", but for us - we've had to live the last 8+ months with everything that we thought was etched in stone passing us by, it's just been dates, dates, dates...July 3rd - London, July 13th - Opening, July 16 - 2nd show, July 18 - 3rd show,....August 29th - 51st birthday, Sept 3 - Should have been his 20th show...not the day he was buried, Oct. 31 - 3D Thriller Halloween Special on CBS,...Jan. 31st - Grammy Performance,...etc, etc...

But now, we've really come to the end of this part of the journey. Full circle too. And from now on, forever, we'll just be left wondering "What would he be doing now? What would things be like?"

I don't know which is harder - Knowing what was supposed to happen and watching it not happen and pass you by or never knowing and having to imagine and guess what would have been.
 
I remember that exactly one year ago around this time i was frightfully driving along the highway more than nervous than ever (maybe only when i went for my driving license was anything remotely similar lol) to get into the city. I was supposed to go charge my account and only one bank in town wayyyy far was open so early.

There were issues even with the card itself cause ticketmaster asked for it to have the same address as the one on the id, anyways....by the time the site started working i was at work in front of my desktop online and in two minutes i had my tickets in block 111 for what was supposed to be the July 14th concert...my friend thanked my parents for giving birth to me lol cause he was still stuck 'in a line' for more than 20 mins, he couldn't manage to get any tickets.

Ain't time such a 'funny' thing? Can't believe it's been an entire year since then and what took place in the meantime.
 
on 6th of march my dream would come to me. this day was day on which I had to see Michael for first time. so sad.
God bless our lovely Michael.
 
You know, last march after the O2 Announcement, I would constantly think about the media, and how they cover Michael once he ended the tours. And I would hear the news reports, in my head of what they should be, "Michael Jackson, fresh off the conclusion of his 50 date comeback concert...". I heard that again while reading through this thread, realizing that what I perceived last march as a reality, is now nothing more than a dream or random thought. I miss you, buddy. :boohoo:

:( There is so much he wanted to do, such a shame.
 
Wow was it really a year ago he made the annoucement
:|

It feels like yesterday. god times really does go
by with the blink of an eye x
 
Argh, I bought myself tickets for opening night a year ago...
I remember not sleeping all night, because I was afraid that I was going to miss something...

Then tm just randomly released tickets 40 minutes prior official selling time...I was freaking out. As soon as I tried to buy myself tickets, the whole system just shut down lol. I was so nervous, that I started to cry. I got so annoyed with the whole system, the 15 minute wait sign, which would go down to 1 minute after two hours or something lol and then the ''error'' sign would pop up. I was about to smack my laptop out of the window. I skipped school and after trying over and over, I finally managed to get myself tickets...for opening night! Can you believe that? I wasn't even aiming to go to opening night. I just clicked on every date which was on the list, I didn't even check what I was buying tickets for, because I was so nervous...then my confirmation mail said Opening night. I was screaming my ass off!!

I've never been any happier...

Here are some of my old quotes lol, most of them don't make any sense, because I was soooooooooo nervous:

im gonna crap my pants im nevrous ahopaFHWQUIOFHWU

Im freaking out,

WTF, they're offering me ticket a l4 ticket for 75 pounds...

should i buy it or not ?
 
today was the day presale began.. Aug 3rd was my day..
I spent the entire day getting those tickets online hadn't slept more than an hour in order to get those tickets, it took me 7 hours to get them as Ticketmasters site kept crashing down, I remember it like it was yesterday, March 11 2009 was a great day for me. March 11, 2010 is a miserable day like every day since June 25

My case is like yours. I purchased tickets for July 14 and then it was moved to March 6 so I purchased tickets for the first show too. At first I was upset that I went to all that trouble to get a ticket for one of the first shows just to have it pushed back to be the last. But then I was really happy that I would get to see the final show and the first one.

I can't believe that all of this is happening :no:

Abigail, i'm sure we weren't the only ones either. I know it's tough, really tough, but at least we can see in the movie what he had in store for us. I know for some it's painful to watch cause it creates even more sorrow thinking of what might have been, but for me it's comforting. Nevertheless, i still haven't managed to see the 'memories of Michael' section or the second dvd with the testimonies from the band, but i think i will, soon.
