Would you pay $500 to have your name in the liner notes of your favorite artist's album? That's one of the pre-order options for Keith's new album. And you guys thought Bon Jovi was the only artist who had outrageous packages! LOL

It would be cool, yes, but it's not in my budget--and it's just the vinyl edition which few people will get anyway.

There are a few artists whose liner notes I would LOVE to be in - favorably of course LOL. That said - no - I would not pay a penny for that privilege. I would arguably work hard for certain artists in order to help them out and I might therefore get a mention. But outright buy a space for my name - nope.

NOT an April Fools' Day joke:
Well, I can't argue with that -- if the average of $1450 Justin earns from each fan at the meetups doesn't relieve his pain, of course he ought to stop doing them. One way he can make up for the lost income is by firing the security team members who should have checked the watch list against the VIP ticket buyer list. And his refund policy smells fishier than the Jersey shore at low tide -- either he charged the fans for a spot in the pit AND a meetup, or he didn't.

Thankfully, Bon Jovi knows that if they tried to pull anything like this, we'd pound them flatter than a slice of Philly cheese steak!

I don't BELIEBE the report that they lose their ticket is true. I have a friend whose daughter got a refund and got to keep her ticket so while she was broken-hearted she didn't get to meet Justin, she's thrilled that the money from the refund is going to get her tickets to see Selena Gomez.

Glad to hear it, but I "beliebe" your friend's daughter got her partial refund because the Beiber camp got the message that they couldn't just pick and choose what they wanted to refund.

On one of the Ozzfest tours, Ozzy announced he would miss a few shows while his wife was having surgery, and System of A Down would headline. He was advised that since he was the advertised headliner, he'd have to give a refund to anyone who asked for one, and suddenly Mrs. Osbourne discovered that she could get through the surgery without him -- a miracle cure!

What is this, an epidemic -- here's another star with a whacked-out refund policy!
She has, however, apparently forgotten how to offer refunds:
Postponing and rescheduling due to illness is one thing. But if she is now postponing for reasons other than illness (is she pregnant now or planning to be?) and has no idea when she'll be able to reschedule, she HAS to give refunds to whoever wants one!

ETA: The responses to Janet's tweet contains requests from Ticketmaster AND LiveNation to go to their Twitter sites, follow them, and send their order number by direct message. Another one bites the dust!

ETA #2: Rumor has it that 18-year-old Janet became pregnant during her 3-month marriage to James DeBarge in 1984, and secretly gave birth to a daughter before embarking on her Control tour. The child was raised by sister Rebbie Jackson, and she's the reason why Janet says "it’s important that I do this NOW" -- SHE'S the one who's pregnant. That's a crazy conspiracy theory by even MY standards, but if people believe it, I say it serves her right!
