This Is It (concert residency)
Template:Future The Michael Jackson O2 Arena concerts are a series of upcoming concert performances by Michael Jackson, scheduled at the 02 Arena in London. The performances, announced on March 5, 2009, will last for 30 dates and are expected to net Jackson $150 million.
Prior to an official announcement, many media sources speculated on Jackson's arrangements at the O2. Some sites offered tickets, the Association Of Secondary Ticket Agents have reported that they are fake. "We are warning people not to buy tickets that are not yet on sale because it is unlikely that they will receive those tickets," announced the organisation's chief, Graham Burns. He concluded, "It's impossible when the dates haven't been announced to be selling tickets for something when there are no announced dates."[1]
The announcement of Jackson's performances was made by the singer himself, during a press conference at the O2. Thousands of fans awaited Jackson's arrival, some donning his signature outfits.[2][3]
