17,500 Chances to Attend Michael Memorial
Organizers of Michael Jackson’s Tuesday memorial service said today that they will give away 17,500 tickets and will randomly draw names from people who register for the service to determine who will attend. The event will be live-streamed on television and on the Internet, and there will be no funeral procession.
Organizers will draw 8,750 names, and those people will receive two tickets each and wristbands on Monday. People can register for the drawing at Staplescenter.com.
No tickets will be sold to the event, organizers said at a news conference this morning at Staples Center.
So don’t be too upset if you don’t win. You can still watch at home. And for those of you who are hoping to win in order to sell them off:
Ken Sunshine, a spokesman for the Jackson family, and Leiweke emphasized that they do not want anyone to try to scalp tickets.
“Those who would take advantage of this, shame on them,” (Tim) Leiweke said.
So please show some respect for the King of Pop. Read entire article here.
