I know, it's just that some people (not you) are so focused on money, not even recognizing the fact that we just lost one of the greatest entertainers ever.

Kind of related, but iTunes has an MJ icon on their homepage, and 6 of the top album downloads are from Michael Jackson. Apparently, the top 10 at Amazon is all MJ too--not sure if that's downloads or actual CDs.

What's going to happen to all of those people who had tickets to see him this summer?

My dad had James Brown tickets when he passed, and I'm pretty sure he got a refund. So I think this may be the same thing? I'm not positive though.

The concert ticket refund is the no-brainer. But, think about it: people bought plane tickets and booked hotel rooms for a concert where the performer just died. Unless their travel insurance considers this a "covered" event, there could possibly be a number of ticket cancellations.

What will this do to the travel industry?

I think they'll ge a raincheck or transferral instead of a refund.
