More than 750,000 fans are waiting for details on ticket refunds, and the British government’s consumer protection board told them Monday not to hold their breath complex legal issues need to be worked out first.

“The advice we’re giving is that it may take a little while because it was quite a large ticket distribution,” said Frank Shepherd, spokesman for Consumer Direct. “We’re advising people to be a bit patient.”

In addition, he said ticket holders may not be able to reclaim fees paid to sellers, which in some cases reached $16 per ticket.

The skirmishing over refunds is just one aspect of what is likely to be years of legal wrangling over financial matters, including Jackson’s considerable debts, assets and custody of his three children. The battles are likely to dwarf earlier fights for the control of assets left by other departed rock gods, including guitar hero Jimi Hendrix and reggae trailblazer Bob Marley.

Legal arguments over whether insurance companies must shoulder much of the financial burden caused by Jackson’s death are expected to slow the refund process, experts said.

Promoters are generally required to take out insurance to cover concert cancellations or non-appearances, said Malcolm Tarling, a spokesman for the Association of British Insurers.

Many of the policies are extremely specific, allocating levels of payouts according to the reason for the cancellation including the cause of any death. If a drug overdose was specified as a risk with lower coverage, AEG may be entitled to less money.

Los Angeles-based tour operator AEG Live, which operates the 02 Arena where Jackson was to have performed, said ticket refund details should be announced this week

So, you might find this really hard to believe, but I’m just dishing you the facts. The Jonas Brothers and their popularity has been declining a bit in recent weeks. You might not like this news, but fans can rest assured, because you guys saved their fame. When Jo-Bro concert tickets for their upcoming World Tour went on pre-sale online, the Jonas fan site completely crashed! There was apparently such a super-high demand for tickets on March 23rd, that the internet site was down a half-hour before the sale even opened. According to reports, many fans on TEAM JONAS were indeed able to purchase tickets, however, some people were still experiencing delays in getting access codes for the presale. Purchases were exclusive to Team Jonas fan club members for 3 days.

As far as the World Tour goes, the J-Bros will be kicking it off in Dallas on June 20th. Joining Nick, Joe and Kevin onstage, is Jordin Sparks and Honor Society. Check out Jonas music, tv and movie clips by going to Clevver.com. From our headquarters in Beverly Hills , I’m Dana Ward.
