BIDDING for the Action Jackson Charity Drive is hotting up with an offer setting a new high of $15,000 for a ticket package for the pop superstar's Bangkok concert.

The previous leading bid of $12,800 was beaten yesterday and new bids pushed the total to $386,172.

Entries were now coming in even faster than before, according to Matt Hackett, Commercial Radio's business development manager.

The station has joined the South China Morning Post and Cathay Pacific in running the special drive, which aims at raising money for the Po Leung Kuk.

Michael Jackson had expressed a desire that $1 million should go to charity as a result of his Asian tour dates.

Mr Hackett said the organisers had noticed some of the bidders had revised their amounts and put in new bids to increase their chances of winning.
