Collectors thread: New look at rejected designs for This Is It tickets

[Dilan]

For people into their MJ collecting you'll know that their are 8 different MJ This Is It style tickets. This guy on eBay seems to be selling some early never before seen designs, really cool to see with a crazy price tag: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Michael-Jackson-Rare-Pre-Selection-Tickets-For-This-Is-It-Tour-Lenticular-Art/264282220590?hash=item3d8872a82e:g:cJgAAOSwOjxcs9xY

Im glad they were rejected, they're quite bad but still cool to see

Very interesting to see, I wish I had that kind of money to even contemplate buying them!

How do we know these were MJ involved? I always thought the lenticular tickets were a cash grab by AEG.

That's what I thought... I didn't think they were pre-planned. They took so long to get the tickets sent out to us.

When they suggested we pay face value to have these silly tickets it had cash grab written all over it.

I didn't hesitate in requesting a full refund.

If anyone doesn't remember, the final ones looked like this:

Yeah me neither. Seemed such an obvious cash grab at the time I gladly took the refund and never regretted it.

Face value for a piece of card of a gig that never happened? Insane.

It's long ago, but I don't get tired to agree it really was a disgusting thing they did in selling the tickets for that value (instead of e.g. donating this money). I also chose a refund for my tickets.

They might have taken a long time to be sent out but the news report showing the prototypes that look exactly like the finished product was shown 5 days after his death so i think they were pre-planned

They were in overdrive straight after he died to get as much money back as possible.

we don't know for certain either way about the tickets
