how much would you pay to see michael jackson in concert in 2009?

wouldn't go

$100-200.

maybe if it was free.
I don't think he's got any performing skills (voice, dancing...) left, has he ?

I'd pay 20 bucks if it was in a club. I hate stadium shows so the actual-possibility-vote is "wouldn't go" but that's because the nature of the show he's likely to put on just isn't gonna be my kinda thing. I would guess he could sing and dance just fine (better than just fine; we're talking here about a guy who at his peak was untouchable) if he felt like it/could get sane enough, but neither of those are likely.

I wouldn't go. I think Michael Jackson is great but the travelling, queueing up and so on would be too much effort.

Get paid more likely. But even then I'd seriously have to consider whether I'd prefer this over... say... anotehr freakshow.

The last performance of him I saw was the jacksons anniversary thing circa 2000. it was in playback, he kept hiding his face and didn't do much dancing...

I don't think he's got any performing skills (voice, dancing...) left, has he ?

I think we'll have to wait until he's old enough to have Parkinsons and do the automatic Moondance.

"Seven bucks? My friend who lives here told me it was like five."

I wonder if he moves too much, body parts fall off. That'd be quite interesting to behold. Still, nope, I'd prefer to sit at home watching paint dry.

not in the slightest bit interested.

$40-60, just to see what it'd be like.

not in the slightest bit interested.

motherfucking michael jackson. i don't know how its possible to think clearly and think about michael jackson at the same time. listening in formative years has pretty much guaranteed my synapses overload with just a whiff. i'd find it easier to put a price on having my heart pulled out through my urethra. momus perfectly otm in that other jackson thread defending him against jarvis and his fellow admonishers.

can I get paid not to go?

"$500 - $1000"

doubt his own family would be willing to shell out that money.

I wouldn't go, I'd gladly eBay the ticket though to one of the (surprisingly few) suckers on this thread.

I'd go if it was free, but mainly for people-watching. The audience would be a better show than MJ.

that makes me wonder : what is the fanbase of MJ nowadays ?
not teenagers/kids anymore, I suppose (and they were always his biggest fanbase, no ?).
maybe some 30smthgs who were huge fans in the 80s (like me) and who still think he has anything left in him (unlike me).

what is the fanbase of MJ nowadays ?

European pedos

Free but that has nothing to do with MJ and everything to do with that fact that I'm a cheap bastard.

Two or three of my children.

um the guy is like dying right? lame thread imo

or a lot of posts in pretty poor taste

i wouldn't go btw because he probably wouldn't be able to stand up.

Fuck y'all, I'm a fan. I'd shell out 60 to see MJ.

or a lot of posts in pretty poor taste

blame jackson for the press conference in pretty poor taste

not guilty

i srsly wanna go but am worried what his abilities are these days. i dont expeect him to dance much but can he even still sing properly? last time i saw him theyd do dance routines and 'freeze' every so often presumably not for dramatic effect but so he could catch his breath again.

Judging by that press conference, his fans are more insane than he is, those people are scary!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

he seemed a bit overwhelmed by the fans reaction at the press conference - a few hundred crazies screaming "MICHAEL!!!!" - so I don't know how the hell he's going to deal with 20,000 of the same.

but I'm gonna try and get tickets tomorrow anyway.

How much would you pay for this disturbing MJ poem engraved in slab that he's auctioning?

where is the "would consider going if someone would pay ME"?

I'd go if it was 90 minutes of

"he made thriller, man.... thriller."

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

wau at the indifference

$500 - $1000 voter, you have way too much money on your hands. Would you give me some of it?

Michael Jackson's 50 dates at London's O2 arena sell out

There's just no way he's going to get through all those dates is there?

he will perform eight hours a night every night

it's going to be so awesome

That's, hold on, 50 x 5000 = about 250.000 of those little annoying yelps he's going to be doing!

Great tickets still available!

Didn't even make the starting line-up.

There were tickets still on sale on ebay yesterday getting bid-bombed into 8 figures.

8 FIGURES? Bullshit.

Nope, one of them went up to £10,000,000, but obviously that was folks pissing about and ebay have taken those down now.

ie this

Gotta wonder how many ticket holders are gonna want refunds

all the ones who aren't mental.

All of them? You don't have to surrender the paper ticket to get a refund, afaik, so they can keep the memento and get the cash back.

They demanded by Nirvana paper ticket back in 94 the fuckers. I really regret trading in for a measly fifteen quid.

Don't be, any Nirvana tickets from that tour are worthless, I knew someone who worked at Riverman and they had boxes and boxes of unused tickets for the tour. I think they were going to frame them and sell them at one point.
