More than a million vying for MJ memorial service tickets
LOS ANGELES: More than 1.2 million people have now registered to get tickets for Michael Jackson’s memorial service next week.
Only 11,000 tickets will be given out for the Tuesday service at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Another 6,500 tickets will be given away for the Nokia Theater overflow section next door.
The only way to get tickets is to register for free at staplescenter.com. After Saturday evening, 8,750 names will be randomly selected to receive two tickets each.
Notifications will go out on Sunday. Only U.S. residents can get tickets.
City officials are preparing for massive crowds.
Assistant Police Chief Earl Paysinger says anywhere from a quarter-million to 700,000 people may try to reach the arena, even though a wide area around Staples Center will be sealed off to those without tickets.-AP
