Michael Jackson has not only managed to fill the O2 Arena, he has sold all 50 dates in record time. Fans queued outside the venue all night and a quarter of a million waited online as 750,000 tickets to see the King of Pop perform on the 'This Is It' tour - selling at a rate of eleven per second when they went on sale on Friday.The original ten date O2 Arena tour sold out on Tuesday in pre-sales, but fans still hadn't been able to get hands on tickets as technical problems set in. The Michael Jackson tour has become the fastest selling in history and tickets have already been making their way to ebay - with massive profits for those selling.
Questions have been raised about the health of the 50 year-old pop star and whether Michael will be able to endure such a long residency at London's O2 Arena. With so many tickets being sold, some fans who missed out on the hype may yet bag a bargain if there are a glut of spare tickets on the market. Previous acts like the Spice Girls, sold out tickets in record time yet fans were able to buy cheap tickets via ebay nearer the concert dates.
