Michael Jackson Memorial Ticket Details!
Update: There was a server crash when the news was first released about how to get tickets for the service because everyone in THE WORLD was trying to access it, however it has since restarted, and although it may continue to crash keep in mind that you have until tomorrow evening to register.
*********
A press conference was held just moments ago, to address how Michael Jackson's memorial service will be handled as far as attending the service/buying tickets/etc.
Fans were encouraged to watch the service from the comfort of their own homes to avoid the chaos that would take place at the Staples Center.
The Jackson family has provided 17,500 tickets for the general public to attend the service. 11,000 of those tickets will be for the service within the Staples Center, while 6,500 of those tickets will be for the satellite service at the Nokia Theater where the service will be broadcast on 3 large screens.
Fans who wish to get these tickets need to register at StaplesCenter.com from now until tomorrow (Saturday) at 6 pm. On Sunday 8,750 names will be randomly selected from those who registered, and those people will be notified between 11am and 8 pm on Sunday.
After a person is notified that they have received a ticket they can talk to Ticketmaster.com who will give them instructions on what service they will be attending and they will be given 2 tickets so that they may take a guest.
The LAPD wants everyone to know that if you do not have a ticket to either of the ceremonies, not only can you not attend the ceremonies but you can not even be in the vicinity of the area! So please, take advantage of the ceremony being broadcast live on network television and watch from home to avoid chaos!
