The ticket-buying frenzy has started for the comeback concert series of “King of Pop” Michael Jackson in London. The phenomenal response from the public has prompted the concert promoters to increase the concert dates from 10 to 50 which means that Jackson will be performing from July 8 until February of next year.

The 50-year old entertainer, a 13-time Grammy Award winner, announced last week that he has committed 10 shows at the O2 Arena in London – stating that this will be his last concert series. However, the fans welcomed this development with gusto thus the decision to add extra shows. An estimated one million people will get the chance to see Jackson perform live.

On Wednesday, a lot of people were unable to purchase tickets at the www.michaeljacksonlive.com website due to technical glitches. This led to enterprising individuals to offer tickets in other sites such as eBay, selling by as much as $20,000. The official price of the tickets ranges between fifty to seventy five British pounds.

Hundreds of people gathered at the O2 Arena in London were the first ones to officially know that “King of Pop” Michael Jackson is making a major comeback in the concert scene later this year.

This announcement met screams of appreciation from the fans present as Jackson said that this will serve as his “final curtain call” in the British city.

The 50-year old multiplatinum artist wore a black jacket adorned with silver sequins, similar with what he usually wore during past concerts. He said that the 10-date concert tour will start on July 8 at the O2.

AEG Live, the promoter behind this rare event, said that the shows could go beyond the scheduled 10 dates if there’s a huge demand for tickets. Company CEO Randy Phillips said that the partnership with Jackson will last for almost four years and estimates that the popstar could gross more than $400 million within that period.

Reliable sources have revealed that pop superstar Michael Jackson is set to make a comeback via a series of concerts in London and Britain.

On Tuesday, concert promoter AEG Live released an invitation to the media to attend a news conference on Thursday at London’s O2 music hall. The organizer has yet to inform the media the details of the said conference.

However, sources said that the multiplatinum artist has been in negotiations since last month to conduct up to thirty live concerts in London alone this year.

If this agreement pushes through, this will serve as the 50-year old’s first major concert since his acquittal on child molestation charges in 2005.
