Default Would you ask for Refund, or a Commemorative Ticket?

Michael Jackson fans who bought tickets for his shows at the O2 via eBay and PayPal will receive refunds, it has been confirmed.

Thousands of fans were left waiting to see if they would get their money back after the singer's death.

A spokeswoman for eBay said: "The sad news of Michael Jackson's death has left fans of the King of Pop bereft. eBay is committed to ensuring that no buyer is left out of pocket as a result of the unique nature of the event, and will ensure all buyers on the site can receive a full refund for their ticket purchase."

The online retailer will return sales commission to sellers when they refund buyers, eBay said.

Final details of how the exchange will work will be announced next week.

On Friday retailer Seatwave and ticket exchange site viagogo both said they would refund ticketholders.

A spokesman for AEG Live, the organiser of the 50 concerts, said: "On behalf of the entire AEG organisation we extend our deepest condolences to Michael Jackson's family and friends during this tragic time.

"Full ticket refund information and procedures will be released early next week for all Michael Jackson This Is It shows."

He advised fans to keep hold of ticket vouchers or proof of purchase slips. But other retailers said they were unable to say at the moment what will happen.

I`ve set up a poll about what YOU would do if you had a concert ticket. Remembering that those tickets cost anywhere between £50 and £75 would you ask for your money back, keep the original ticket, or get a commemorative ticket instead.

Who knows, maybe in time those tickets will be worth quite a lot of money.

Efforts by those trying to sell tickets they won to the Michael Jackson memorial service are being thwarted.

Hours after lottery winners collected their passes, postings went up on Craigslist and eBay offering tickets to the highest bidder.

Some were offered for as much as $25,000 (£15,450) before being pulled or flagged by users.

"eBay will not allow Michael Jackson memorial service tickets to be listed on the site," eBay told the BBC.

"When found, eBay will remove them immediately. We believe it is inappropriate to allow the sale of tickets for the Michael Jackson memorial service," the e-mail concluded.

Some fans were so outraged by those cashing in on an event honouring the King of Pop that they bid up tickets to absurd sums like $100m (£62m) on eBay.

On Craigslist, similar advertisements were soon flagged by users for removal.

"Users very quickly flag off ads that are inappropriate, look fishy, or are miscategorised, and that is what we are seeing happening with regards to Michael Jackson," Craigslist spokesperson Susan MacTavish Best told BBC News.

"This is an example of community response in action," she said.

The majority of postings that remain on the site's Los Angeles page are ones from fans who did not win tickets in the lottery as well as some that decried the actions of sellers trying to make a fast buck.

"Thank you for trying to make money off of an icon's death," wrote one irate Craigslist user.

Another person warned "Trying to sell your MJ tickets? YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THEM! It's illegal (Called scalping and punishable by imprisonment.)"

"Beneath contempt"

It has been estimated that 1.6 million people applied to the online lottery for tickets to attend the service at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.

It is expected that thousands without tickets will turn up at the event

The organisers AEG Live, which owns the Centre and had backed Jackson's London concerts, distributed 17,500 free tickets to the memorial via e-mail. The lucky ones had until 6pm last night to pick up their prized passes.

Each winner was given two tickets and while a special bracelet for the event was immediately placed on the ticketholders wrist, AEG spokesman Michael Roth confirmed they can give their second bracelet to anyone they like.

"Theoretically the second wristband can be sold," admitted Mr Roth.

"We are hopeful that they (the winners) have these vouchers because they are a fan and it's meaningful to them and they would also invite someone who it would also be very meaningful to them."

A Jackson family spokesman Ken Sunshine criticised those who would seek to make money out of the event.
