Michael Jackson fans who bought a ticket for the singer's 50-date comeback tour at the O2 Arena in London should in most cases be able to get their money back.
eBay, Seatwave and viagogo have all promised fans who bought tickets from their sites a refund.
Thousands of fans have been waiting to see if they will get their money back for the This Is It concerts.
A spokesperson for eBay said: "The sad news of Michael Jackson's death has left fans of the King of Pop bereft. eBay is committed to ensuring that no buyer is left out of pocket as a result of the unique nature of the event, and will ensure all buyers on the site can receive a full refund for their ticket purchase."
The online retailer will return sales commission to sellers when they refund buyers, eBay said.
A spokesman for AEG Live, the concert organiser, said: "On behalf of the entire AEG organisation we extend our deepest condolences to Michael Jackson's family and friends during this tragic time.
"Full ticket refund information and procedures will be released early next week for all Michael Jackson This Is It shows."
Fans are advised to keep hold of ticket vouchers or proof of purchase slips, and full details of the refund will be released next week.
