London - Michael Jackson fans were Friday waiting to be told whether they would receive refunds for tickets to the massive series of concerts series he had planned in London in July. Concert organizers AEG said an announcement was expected later Friday, following coordination with agents in the US.
Back in March, tickets to Jackson's This Is It concerts at London's 02 Arena became the "hottest selling on the planet," with 750,000 fans snapping up tickets.
AEG said they were the fastest selling tickets in London in pop music history, going at a rate of 11 per second, 657 per minute and nearly 40,000 an hour.
The enormous 02 Arena was originally known as the Dome, the gigantic white tent-like structure built by the British government as the centrepiece of its millennium celebrations.
