Michael Jackson Doubles O2 Arena Residency

This summer...

Michael Jackson has doubled his summer residency at London's O2 Arena.

The singer will now play a total of twenty shows at the venue, starting on July 8th.

Jackson is now just one date short of matching Prince's 21-night run at the O2 Arena in 2007, which revitalised the musician's career.

Pre-sale tickets for the new dates are available now for fans who received a pre-registration code from organisers.

Demand for the shows, which begin on July 8th, has exceeded expectation, with over a million people registering for the chance to buy tickets.

Organisers are widely expected to announce details of additional dates.

In an email this morning, fans who had failed to secure a registration code were told to “monitor” their emails for a further announcement.

“We are seeking approval to add more shows so all of Michael's fans can be accommodated,” the email said.

Jackson, now 50, has not performed a full concert since he was cleared of child molestation charges in 2005. His last full tour, entitled HIStory, took place in 1996 and '97.

  • Check out ebay - tons of tickets on there. Not a massive fan of MJ therefore I'm not going to spend a ridiculous amount of cash to see a guy who is going to be way past his best. It's a shame that concerts are being taking out of the hands of music fans and into the hands of touts, after all, they're dictating gig prices these days.

  • I agree with the ticket touting crao. I find it disgusting that you can't even get the tickets at the door price. Yet sometimes even before the concert is on sale they are up in th thousands. I think Ticketmaster need looking into. Their sister site getmein instantly this morning had premium tickets at well over the odds.
