CNN.com: 750,000 tickets for Jackson concerts sell in 4 hours

Tickets for Michael Jackson's 50 "final curtain call" concerts in London sold out in little over four hours Friday.

The tickets went on sale at 7 a.m., with fans queuing since Wednesday. They were limited to four tickets per household at a cost of up to $105 for general admission. VIP tickets cost up to $1,100. Around 750,000 were sold.

Would Michael Jackson have sold out 50 concerts in a U.S. city in 4 hours?  I have a hard time believing that there's that kind of interest for him here.
