i was also reading about the ticket reselling. the vast majority of the "this is it" tickets were on reseller websites within 5 minutes of the sales hotline closing. the main reseller website is also owned by an aeg subsidiary.i got through on the phone 15 times and on the web 20 times in the 4 hrs that the sales were open and was always told at the last minute that the tickets are gone.this clearly shows that aeg wanted to resell the tickets in the first place bypassing mj completely in terms of ticket revenue sharing.

This is interesting! I've always been bothered about the fraud aspect of MJ selling tickets (i.e. making money) for concerts that he never intended to do. But your post makes me wonder if any tickets were actually sold at all! If AEG sidelined the vast majority and subsequently didn't sell them (because they knew there wasn't going to be any concerts) that means they are in on the hoax, or if they did in fact sell them, bypassing MJ's share, doesn't that put them in deep doo-doo??!Any thoughts on this anyone?
It would be interesting to find out how many of us (or our friends, family members etc.) managed to really physically GET the tickets.If we assume that AEG knew the concerts were not gonna happen (and they didn't put all the tickets into circulation), what would be the point in arranging the 50 concerts instead of 10? That'd only make sense if they really wanted to make money off Mike, at any cost, in which case it would have been in their own interest to sell as many tickets as possible. Do I make sense? It just isn't logical, something's not right here. But if AEG pushed Mike to do 50 shows (which is what we were told but can't really prove) then I'm sure they DID try to sell ALL tickets. If AEG is involved in the hoax (which we still don't know) they'd do anything Mike told them to do, including the 50-show frame-up. And this is the part I don't get...did Mike want to prove to everyone he could still sell so many tickets before he hoaxed his death? Did he only pretend to be a victim of AEG/Sony? But Sony surely wanted his catalog. So is he just taking revenge? Did he sign on purpose, knowing AEG would lose it all? If AEG was so evil, why did the family contract with them in connection with TII? It just gets more and more complicated...Add your thoughts..my head is starting to ache.
Yes, and why was AEG involved in the Memorial and the Burial?
Another very good point, Kim! Things just aren't adding up! IMO, Mike knew he wasn't gonna do the shows when he said that line from TII (I'll be back in my own time).

I think Michael was never intended to do 50 concerts. It is also strange that I never heard again about the fans that have received money back from the concert tickets. Maybe there's something coming up? Maybe that's why the fans still haven't received no money back? Just a thought
