This is it: Fans will get money back

LONDON: More than 750,000 Michael Jackson fans can get full refunds for the pop star's canceled 50-night This is It concert extravaganza - or opt to receive souvenir tickets instead, the promoters announced on Monday.

Jackson's fans from around the world had rushed to snap up tickets for the performances, which were due to start on July 13. British media reports said about $83 million had been spent on 750,000 tickets

In a move that could help recoup some of its losses from the ill-fated tour, Los Angeles-based AEG Live said fans could choose to receive the actual tickets, which it said feature graphics "inspired and designed" by Jackson himself.
