Michael Jackson. Everybody has an opinion on the man. But the level of his sanity isn’t the issue as of late, it’s his 2010 tour.
Now, obviously the tour itself isn’t the issue here, it’s the touts buying the tickets before the fans.
Ok, so this is unfair for the REAL fans who have to spend far more on the tickets, and that the money is just going straight to a ticket grabbing jerk. But, you do have to admit that it is a beautifully simple way of making some extra cash.
Arguably these people shouldn’t be buying tickets if they have no interest in Michael Jackson, but when the tickets are sold on a first come first served basis people can hardly complain because everybody has a fair chance. And there are ticket limits after all, so I guess the fans aren’t too exploited.
In a perfect world maybe there would be a screening process somewhere in the ticket buying – maybe a Michael Jackson quiz or something – but realistically I’ll be that Mike doesn’t really give a toss who buys the tickets, as long as it’s a sell out.
So yes the touts are immoral, greedy and selfish, but realistically who can blame them?
