Ticket holders seeking refunds will be directed to http://www.MichaelJacksonLive.com from July 1. The reimbursements will be processed by such ticketing agencies as Ticketmaster,Ticketline and the ticket-reselling agent Viagogo in the UK,the announcement said.

“The world lost a kind soul who just happened to be the greatest entertainer the world has ever known,” Randy Phillips,chief executive of AEG Live,said in a statement.

“Since he loved his fans in life,it is incumbent upon us to treat them with the same reverence and respect after his death,” Phillips added.

However,Jackson’s die-hard fans from 200 countries,who bought the tickets to his comebacks,also have the option to receive a specially designed tickets instead of a refund.

AEG is offering ticket holders the choice to receive an expensive memento instead of a full refund.
