I wanted to point out that even in this terrible terrible time we have to sit back and look at what is INDEED WRONG with this picture.
Realistically
The concerts were 2 weeks away correct?
Wouldn't that mean that ALL merchandise (tshirts, cups, hats, bags, posters, programs - everything) would have been printed and organised?
The tickets speak for this. IF they did not offer the option of "keeping the tickets in lieu of the £75" would have meant that the tickets along with the rest of the merchandise was not organised.
Quiet clearly it is. It all is. Sitting there, and was ready to go.
IF AEG were offering to give the £75 or even PART there of to a charity organization or something perhaps then what they are doing would seem reason enough. But to keep the money themselves.......... I don't know something seem's awfully odd about this.
They could have also offered the option IN LIEU of the tickets for fans to go to the O2 as planned and edit together atleast some footage from the apparently over 100+ hours they have from rehearsals and screen it on a HUGE screen. Then give the fans a decision of whether you would like to refund your ticket.
It may be painstaking and some fans may not wish to see it but can you imagine all of us sat inside, 20 000 fans cheering along together for their hero, their brother, their friend, their idol, their everything...... There would be tears, there would be excitement, there would be sorrow, and there would be celebration. More then anything we would have been together, all of us. Joined in the one thing that binds us all to part of one another; Michael Jackson.
When I was in line at the O2 one of the AEG executives came up to the girl I was standing with and told her to contact him. Didn't say what for, whether he was going to give her free tickets or whatever I don't know. He gave her his card with his email address on it.

Personally I find it INCREDIBLY selfish of them to be charging £75 for a ticket stub. Not even HALF, but the full price. Capitalizing once again JUST like everyone else on Michael's name.
As a fan community we need to come together along with other sites such as Maximum Jackson band together and work on this because everyone out there knows that it's wrong.
I'm not quiet sure what to do or anything with movements such as this but it makes me once again look back on Randy's eyes in that press conference when they delayed the concerts and see all that blackness, all that greed.
I'll leave that with you. Just wanted to point out that not only is AEG being greedy in regards to this but they're not even offering to have the arena open on the 13th or any other night for us to show our respects.
I would be grateful if the people with contacts to certain people, even at this tragic time at least suggest this idea or even part there of.
Thanks
