Edit sagt schadeeeeeeee.
Man hat dieses spezielle Angebot wieder rückgängig gemacht. Scheints haben sich auf fb-Seite einige darüber beschwert, die sich bereits Tickets zugelegt haben.

[Lena]

Nee, das Angebot gilt nach wie vor. Auf der MJForever-Seite haben sie jetzt auch alle Tickets reduziert.

toolate und Christine wartet aber lieber nochmal mit dem Zuschlag. Sicherlich gibt es bald noch lukrative Zusatzartikel für den Kauf von Tickets.

JOO ein Wellnesswochende als Schmankerl zum Ticket hinzu wäre schon besser. Mal abwarten.

Ron Weisner ist übrigens der kreative Produzent des Konzertes. Ron Weisner?? Da war doch was? Stimmt, dass ist der, der meint er hätte nach Michael`s Tod nicht genug Tantiemen abbekommen.

[Christine3110]

Nur ne Kleinigkeit, der Korrektheit wegen:

DeMann verklagt das Estate, nicht Weisner.

Brief von GLE an die MJ-Fan-Community u. die Antwort

Thank you for the opportunity to send a message to Michael’s fans though your club. I know the fans have a number of concerns, most of which were highlighted in Mr Weitzman’s open letter to Chris Hunt. Others have come to the fore since, and I will discuss these also. I have been talking to a number of fan club presidents, and although the emphasis has been different, the core issues are clear.

Equally, our endeavours are clear also: We are presenting the Jackson family tribute to Michael. We have artists of international stature, or with meaningful links to Michael’s music, or both. Together with Christina Aguilera, Ne-Yo and Cee Lo Green, we have performers who have sympathetically and successfully presented Michael’s material – Craig David, Alien Ant Farm. We have young stars who humbly acknowledge inspiration by Michael; JLS, Leona Lewis, Pixie Lott, and Motown legends Smokey Robinson and Gladys Knight who in turn inspired Michael. Attending are Mrs Jackson and the children, siblings La Toya, Tito, Marlon and Jackie, and nephews Siggy, Taj, Taryll and TJ. Ron Weisner, Michael’s ex manager, is the creative producer, ensuring the presentation and performances are of Michael. Kevin Dorsey, who worked with Michael on tours Bad, Dangerous and History, is the Musical Director, working with band and singers to recreate Michael’s exact vision. We have band members of whom every one has played for Michael, either on tour or in the studio. Rehearsals have started in Los Angeles, and the vibe is one of purity of performance and responsibility to the musical legacy.

Michael Forever is the only multi-artist, family led, pure Michael tribute that will ever take place, so put aside your doubts, understand that artists and professionals of this calibre would not associate themselves with anything that was untrue to Michael, accept that we are dealing with your concerns where possible, and join us in honouring one of the world’s greatest ever musical performers while you still can.

We understand your concerns and we are addressing your worries, in the following ways:

The Estate
We have the greatest respect for the estate, the work it does continuing Michael’s legacy and the rights it owns. Until now we have been working in parallel with the estate, licencing available rights to present the show, but still working on the creative for it. The estate has not endorsed Michael Forever, and with the rights we have available, we have not sought or required such endorsement. Now that rehearsals have started, and we have a clearer idea of the shape of the event, we are preparing to reach out to the estate and seek commercial terms to licence certain rights owned by them we have identified as desirable.

The Trial
The timing is unfortunate. When we scheduled the concert in April the trial was due to start in June. It may move again yet. It may be over very quickly, or it may delay again. We believe, and the family believes, that a positive presentation of Michael’s musical genius can only be a good reminder of how great a loss was the loss of him.

Katherine Jackson
Michael’s mother chooses to honour her son. That’s it. Michael worshipped his mother and was very close to La Toya. His fans should respect that bond, and not post such unpleasantness that Taj feels he must publicly protect his grandmother on the web. No true fan of Michael would dishonour Mrs Jackson. Those that do are not deserving of anything other than our disappointment with their actions. The trust fund GLE set up in the children's name and administered by Katherine is our contribution to the family legacy. It was done openly, honourably and with our best intentions.

Other issues
Please remember that the British consumer has a huge amount of protection in English law, and the Event Terms and Conditions are written for insurers, and ours are less onerous than most others. Here's the clause from the Glastonbury festival: "2. The artist and performer line-up and all billed attractions may be subject to change at any time without notice". All purchasers also receive the standard protection offered by their credit card companies. You will see a great show, with exclusively Michael’s music performed by first class acts. The bill is still being added to, but the essence will always be Michael and his genius.

I hope these answers go some way towards explaining our position. We have a tribute worthy of Michael, presented by people passionate and dedicated to doing it right, to his family who loved him, performed by those who were inspired by him or inspired him, those who performed alongside him. We have further important announcements to make in the next few days that will prove beyond doubt that Michael Forever will be the purest most focused Michael tribute ever.

Thank you for reading
Andy Picheta
Producer GLE

=================================================

MJ4JUSTICE'S RESPONSE TO ANDY PICHETA
Dear Mr.Picheta,

You would be better served in taking a class in customer service. Because your letter to the members of the MJ Fan community was condescending and insulting.

The mere fact, you include in your letter a determination of who is and who is not a “TRUE FAN” is totally out of order. And quite frankly not your place, sir. The truth of the matter , any “true fan” as you put it, would have known NOT to invite Gene Simmons to any Michael Jackson Tribute event , in the first place.

It was the fan community that stood behind Michael through all his trials and tribulations. And you need to respect that . Michael did!

The fact, you hide behind Katherine Jackson is equally insulting. Stand up for yourself, Mr. Pricheta and do not use Michael’s mother as a means to attack and determine who is a “true fan”.
Once again , not your place, not your right. You have done nothing to deserve that privilege.

Our issues are with you, the promoter of this event. Your timing , is once again , inappropriate.
Tomorrow, begins the jury selection process in the Conrad Murray trial.

And that should be the concern of everyone who is concerned with Michael and his legacy.

Good day, Sir.

Offensichtlich nun auch keine Live-Performance von Beoncye via Satelit, sondern nur noch eine Videoeinspielung

]Beyonce Pulls Out Of Live Satellite Performance At Michael Jackson Tribute Concert
By Jen Heger - Radar Legal Editor

The Michael Jackson Tribute concert in Cardiff, Wales, will not be featuring a live satellite performance by Beyonce as originally promised, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Concert promoters had earlier stated that the pregnant singer would be performing via satellite, but on the Ticketmaster website for the event, Beyonce is now listed as making "a special contribution on video."

"Beyonce won't be performing a song live via satellite for the tribute concert now," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

The tribute concert also won't be attended by Janet, Randy or Jermaine Jackson because the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who is charged in the death of Michael, will be going on at the same time.

However, Katherine Jackson has said she will attend the concert, along with Michael's children, and LaToya fully supports the show and will also be there.

Creating more controversy, Michael Jackson fans are outraged that promoters are now offering 2-for-1 deals for tickets.

Fans that already bought tickets for the October 8 show at the 75,000 seat arena, won’t qualify for the deal.

Performers slated to perform are Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Leona Lewis, and Ne-Yo.

Ticket prices range from $55-450 with a service and processing fee of $20.

Concert promoter Global Live Events didn't immediately respond to request for comment on the story.

Laut TMZ wird Jamie Foxx in Wales mit von der Partie sein:

Jamie Foxx Signs On for MJ Tribute Concert

Another HUGE addition to the upcoming Michael Jackson tribute concert ... TMZ has learned Jamie Foxx has signed on and will perform LIVE in Wales at the October show.

Foxx joins Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo, Smokey Robinson and others who are set to perform at the Oct. 8 show.

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ ... show organizers are pumped up about Beyonce's performance -- and insist she did NOT pull out, despite a report to the contrary. We're told B is recording a "unique, never before seen performance" that will be played at the show ... just as she committed to do.

Kann mir mal verraten werden, warum die teilnehmenden Künstler kleckerweise bekanntgegeben werden?? Normalerweise ist es doch so, ich kündige ein Konzert, Tribut oder sonst eine Vorstellung an und die Zuschauer wissen ,wer in dieser Veranstaltung zu erwarten ist und auftritt.Aber hier ist alles eben anders.

[Lena]

Hier dann die reduzierten Preise, die sie erfreut sind mitzuteilen. Hieß es nicht die Tickets entsprechen Standard und wären der Größe der auftretenden Stars angemessen. Bishere Käufer erhalten das mehrgezahlte Geld zurück.
Man kann nun auch bestätigen, dass die Plätze, die mit beschränkter Sicht gekennzeichnet waren nun eine gute Sicht haben. Wenn man aber weiterhin die beschränkte Sicht haben möchte mit der 10 Pfund Preisermäßigung soll man eine Mail schicken.
Heißt wohl auf Wunsch richten sie dann was hin was einem die Sicht versperrt.

We are delighted to announce that the ticket prices have been reduced for this event. The new pricing is detailed here:
Old Price New Price
Restricted View £55.00 £35.00
Standard Seated £87.00 £45.00
Standard Upper Tier £97.00 £55.00
Premium Upper Tier £137.00 £75.00
Standard Middle Tier £175.00 £95.00
Premium Middle Tier £240.00 £125.00
Pitch Standing (General Admission) £97.00 £55.00
Golden Circle (Standing) £195.00 £95.00
If you have purchased a ticket that was previously classed as Restricted View, we can confirm these seats have been reclassified with a clear view of the Stage and large screens and re-priced to £45.00. If, however, you would prefer to sit in a genuinely restricted view seat with a further £10.00 refund then please contact us at support@michaelforevertribute.com

What happens next?

You do not need to do anything; we will automatically refund you the difference between the original price paid and the new price. You need to allow 14 days for this refund to show back to your account. Whilst the refund will happen automatically, when it appears in your account is dependant on your card issuer, if you have not received it after 14 days please contact us at support@michaelforevertribute.com

We will email you again to confirm the refunds have all been completed.
If you wish to upgrade your ticket or change your order in anyway as a result of these price changes please email us at support@michaelforevertribute.com with your original order details and we will deal with these on an individual basis.

We hope you enjoy the event

Kind Regards

Auch wenn das alles echt nicht komisch ist, aber hier mußte ich gerade laut lachen, lena.

[rip.michael]

... ich finds ein positives signal, dass auf die wohl immer noch nicht endgültige setlist eingegangen wird und die preise entsprechend angepasst werden.
Klar ist es ein ungewöhnliches verfahren, mit einer elefantös-pompösen ankündigung zu beginnen, ohne wirklich namen der zu erwartenden auftretenden zu nennen. Jeder teilnahmewille konzertbesucher konnte sich jederzeit der situation anpassen - 'starangebot' regelt die nachfrage.
Ist eine logische reaktion, nun via angepasstem preis werbung für das event zu machen.
Sicher wird sich GLE gut überlegen, künftige events nicht mehr nach diesem muster aufzuziehen.

Die HP ist noch nicht aktualisiert, wie's scheint.

With L.O.V.E. and respect

Normalerweise ist es doch so, ich kündige ein Konzert, Tribut oder sonst eine Vorstellung an und die Zuschauer wissen ,wer in dieser Veranstaltung zu erwarten ist und auftritt.Aber hier ist alles eben anders.

Das ist sozusagen der neueste Schrei, Dreamtänzerin, und es gehört zu dem Gesamtpaket "etwas noch nie Dagewesenes".
Es funktioniert nach dem Prinzip Wundertüte": Kauf' eine Papiertüte ohne zu wissen, was drin ist.....
Dafür wurde extra ein Creative-Producent eingestellt.
