MICHAEL Jackson fans were up in arms yesterday over reports that promoters of a planned tribute concert had slashed ticket prices and apparently offered 2-for-1 ticket deals to the October event.
The furor on Jackson fan website and a Facebook page was the latest setback for organizers a month ahead of what was planned as a glorious tribute to the "Thriller" singer.
On Facebook, a group called Fans against Michael Forever Tribute posted a link and screenshot of a Ticketmaster UK website running a "buy 1 get 1 free" promotion that is bookable starting on September 16. According to the posting, the offer would not apply to tickets already purchased for the October 8 "Michael Forever" concert in Cardiff, Wales.
Fan site www.mjstar.co.uk reported that ticket holders had received a message from promoters announcing prices had been slashed by up to 50 percent.
Organizers Global Live Events did not immediately return calls for comment yesterday.
