London, June 24 (ANI): More tickets for Michael Jackson’s comeback concerts in London are to go on sale.
The “limited” number of extra seats, estimated to cost hundreds per show, had previously been restrained while the production logistics were being tallied.
Fans who have registered on the King of Pop’s website would get into a lottery system to get their hands on the tickets, which are up for grabs from Wednesday, reports The BBC.
The singer is due to kick off his much-awaited run at the O2 arena on July 13.
The first 750,000 tickets for the 50 shows at the 20,000-capacity venue flew off the shelves when they went on sale in March.
The opening night of Jackson’s This Is It tour on July 8 was stalled and three other gigs were also pushed to March next year.
Organisers AEG Live said the Thriller hitmaker needed more time for rehearsals. (ANI)
