Jackson Memorial Tickets

Michael Jackson memorial tickets are in high demand, with over 1 million fans registering online for the chance to attend Michael Jackson’s public memorial service on Tuesday at the Staples center. An email was sent out to those who won the online lottery system, but still many are wondering if they can attend. Police are asking those with out tickets to stay home, as over crowding will be an issue.

According to representatives for the Jackson family, close to 1.6 million fans from around the world registered. There were only 17,500 tickets made available to the public, and 11,000 of those selected registrants will enter the Staples Center, while the remaining 6,500 will be escorted across the street to the Nokia Theater for a live simulcast. We will be live blogging the event with live web feed here on Right TV, as well as on our sister sites, Right Celebrity, and Right Music, so please do join us.
