You can't hold ticket holders responsible.

They wouldn't be covering this in so much detail were it not for people out there who actually watch it. There are, after all, at least 800,000 people who wanted to see Jacko perform at the O2. How about we start going after the public for a change, rather than attacking systems or institutions?
