LONDON (AP) - Money. Or a souvenir. That's the choice being offered Michael Jackson fans who bought tickets to his now-canceled
comeback concert tour. Promoters say the more than 750,000 fans can get full refunds to the 50-night series of shows, including service
charges. But fans are being offered the chance to pass on the refund and get the actual tickets they would have received to keep
as a souvenir.

Starting tomorrow, ticket buyers can check the concert ticket site to see what the souvenir tickets will look like. Selling the tickets to the now doomed shows is a way for AEG Live to recoup some of the losses for the tour. Those who bought tickets on eBay will be able to get back what they paid for the
tickets, even if the price was a markup from the original cost.

I heard that they were going to try to give them a DVD of his last rehearsal the day before he died. Right now they are trying to do anything to cover their butts and to try and profit off of his death. The entertainment business has not morals or much of a heart. I am pretty sure they were more upset that they might lose the money from the shows than the actual death of M.J.

not much of a souvenir for something that never happened. sounds to me like just the promoters trying to cover their butts and using the death of a man to do it.
