    10/14/2011 9:55 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br />[ORIGINAL STORY POST]<br /><br />The bills are starting to roll in for the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert in Wales last weekend -- and TMZ has learned, the organizers have already been accused of ducking a $200,000 tab ... for VIP plane tickets.<br /><br />A rep for the Entertainment Travel Company tells TMZ, Global Live -- the company behind the event -- hired Entertainment Travel to book plane tickets for the Jackson family, Christina Aguilera, her crew, Jamie Foxx, Heavy D, roughly 15 Global Live employees and others. <br /><br />GL allegedly racked up a $200,000 bill in the process -- which they were SUPPOSED to pay two weeks ago. But Entertainment Travel Co. insists they haven't gotten a cent ... and now GL isn't even returning their phone calls. <br /><br />Several members of the Jackson family are scheduled to fly back to the U.S. this Sunday -- but Entertainment Travel is getting ready to play hardball ... telling TMZ, they're gonna cancel the Jacksons' tickets if GL doesn't pay up. The next step is a big, fat lawsuit. <br /><br />TMZ spoke with Global Live CEO Chris Hunt ... who tells us, "All bills are being reconciled and as they have been told, they will be completely paid in full."<br /> <br />

(Specifically 3T). :lol: <br /><br />Boy this story changes day by day....kinda reminds me of the time when TMZ reported that Jermaine was stranded in Africa because of an expired passport & back child support!<br /> <br />....REWIND.....airplane-1.gif<br /> <br />
  • Wow! Why is it that everytime the Jacksons want to do something they always get the short end of the stick?It does remind me of Jermaine being stuck in Africa. This is becoming a comedy show..  lolol/
  • are 3T in the hoax?? i have this feeling... :|
  • I wonder if the kids got to come back since they were there as well.  I think these people have plenty of money to find a way back home.  They are in no means stranded. 
  • Thank you for posting this story. It is the silliest thing I've ever heard of. There is an unpaid bill and they pull only three tickets?<br /><br />It does sound a lot like the Jermaine and Africa story - I guess we'll need to go to Twitter and see what T3 have to say about it all. For some reason I thought they were already home?<br /><br />What crossed my mind is that if TMZ ran this story on purpose - knowing it isn't true, then they would choose 3T because the others (Jaime Fox and Christina Aguilera, etc) aren't in on the hoax. I believe the immediate family, including 3T are involved in the hoax. If the story came out and said they refused Katherine or Michael's children tickets there would be a huge uproar so they had to choose the ones that would garner the least amount of anger from Michael's supporters.<br /><br />Blessings

    <br /><br />Exactly. There is no reason what so ever to bring up this stupid bs so people can speculate over it. Everyone involved has plenty of money to get there and back with the OWN currency. Media drives me crazy. Which is why I only read into it very rarely.

    <br /> <br />Or, unless Michael is in London and they want to spend some time with him so they concocted this story.. The house Michael rented in London, or did he purchase it? Maybe they are there now reunited with his children..

    <br /><br />I suppose that could be true too. The kids have said they are back in California but that doesn't mean they truly are, I guess.<br /><br />I saw on Twitter earlier that TJ (I think) said he was in Paris. He didn't sound stressed about how he was getting home...in fact, he was sight-seeing :)

    <br /> <br />I thought it was interesting too that Janet did some kind of concert in Abu Dubai this week---plus you factor in court was only half day on Thursday and not at all in session yesterday. The family doesn't seem to be in any hurry to come back home.<br /><br />Plus speculation says there may be no court on Monday because of an unexpected death in the family for the current witness on the stand.<br /><br />So maybe they are all taking turns to visit with MJ if he's hiding out there  :lol:
