Due to the sheer magnitude of the “This Is It” concerts at the O2 Arena promoters and producers AEG Live and Kenny Ortega, Michael’s directorial partner and creative collaborator have elected to move back a few of the opening shows in order to meet the challenges presented by such a massive and technically complex show.

Organisers are determined that all Michael’s legions of fans attending the opening nights get the same quality of staging and level of entertainment. Only the four shows listed here are affected:

· 8th July will take place on 13th July 2009
· 10th July will be moved to 1st March 2010
· 12th July will be moved to 3rd March 2010
· 14th July will be moved to 6th March 2010


“Kenny and Michael are, at the same time, both creative pioneers and perfectionists. This show has grown in size and scope, thereby, necessitating more lead time for manufacture of the set, programming the content for the massive video elements, and, most importantly, more time for full production and dress rehearsals in the world’s busiest arena, the O2. As much as we agonized over this change in the original schedule, we are sure the fans will understand when they experience the level of entertainment Michael Jackson intends to deliver while also ensuring the safety of the musicians, cast and crew and the crisp execution of the production. It is AEG Live’s sincere hope that those lucky enough to have purchased tickets will have enough time to change their personal schedules and travel plans if they are coming from outside of London. We do not want anyone to miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

Re: Email I got from Ticketmaster

anyone knows what other dates are affected by this?
 
Re: Email I got from Ticketmaster

WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED??????????!!!!!!! does this mean all the concert dates were pushed back??
 
Re: Email I got from Ticketmaster

Right now it seems like only the first few shows are affected. However, I cannot say for sure.
 
Re: This is it 8th cancelled!

Seriously?? Oh dear...
 
Re: Email I got from Ticketmaster

I got that too.
omg.. I booked my plane tix and hotels and everything. :bugeyed
 
Re: This is it 8th cancelled!

I got the same thing for the 12th. I'm suspecting it's the Jubilee line tube work or that they need more time to prepare for the stage...
Argh!

Re: Email I got from Ticketmaster

If this is true, then only the first few dates are pushed back. Why is there not a press release from AEG? Forgive me for being skeptical.
