Users can purchase access to the broadcast from Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales for 40 Facebook credits ($3.99) prior to the Oct. 8 show, or for 50 Facebook credits ($4.99) on the day of the event.<br />Furthering the social experience, viewers will be able to like, comment, chat and share the concert experience with fellow fans around the world. Merchandise will also be made available through a shopping cart application embedded within the Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert Facebook page. <br /><br />“The ability to broadcast concerts into every corner of the globe and connect directly with fans through Facebook is the most significant opportunity that can happen within the entertainment industry today,” said Ridgeline’s executive producer, Charlie Stuart Gay. “We are fortunate that technology can complement the producers and artists to pay tribute in a manner that is as utterly unique as the legend that will forever remain ‘The King of Pop.’”<br />The show lineup includes the Black Eyed Peas, Leona Lewis, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Ne-Yo, Jennifer Hudson, Craig David, Alexandra Burke, Alien Ant Farm, JLS, Diversity, Pixie Lott and a special video contribution from Beyonce.<br />Dr. Conrad Murray is currently on trial for involuntary manslaughter in connection to the late Jackson’s 2009 death. The case is being broadcast live on HLN.

  • Thank you for this information. I bought my pre-ticket just now and I have to say that I'm excited to see what transpires.<br /><br />This Facebook viewing will be the first worldwide event of this kind so I'm hopeful that Michael draws the masses so that his name is associated with yet another record. Of course, I'm hopeful too that we might see someone or hear something that will make us smile...<br /><br />I also noticed on the Facebook page that there is a countdown. What is up with the countdowns? LOL<br /><br />Blessings to each of you.<br /><br />http://apps.facebook.com/mfortribute/<br /><br /><br />
