>Maybe it was a poor financial decision on their part, but he took advantage of those people for his own profit, when he didn't even really need the money.

Your own article contradicts your narrative that Jackson was somehow doing it for evil/greed reasons:

1. The scheme seems to have been cooked up by the promoters, with Jackson himself being against it

2. The "he filtered by zip code" allegation was entirely unsubstantiated, and seemed to be a side effect of making the tickets expensive.

3. Jackson donated his earnings to charity, so the "... for his own profit" claim was also questionable.

1. "Oh no don't make me more money. Okay if you insist..."

2. Kansas City was 30% black but his audience at that show was almost entirely white. I have a hard time believing none of them could afford a ticket.

3. Yeah which he announced after the public letter from his 11 year-old fan which had a ton of press coveeage saying how it wasn't fair
