At 1.6 million registrants to obtain the most wanted ticket in the world where only 8750 lucky ones will get a pair of tickets bringing the total to 17,500 fans who will get to participate in the star-studded (Mariah Carey, Usher and Stevie Wonder reportedly attending and performing) memorial service for Michael Jackson. The gathering is scheduled for 8 a.m. (11 a.m. ET) — two hours before the service at the Staples Center arena.
Some individuals who obtained tickets can’t even afford to fly to Los Angeles. One man interviewed at NBC’s Today show was selling his on eBay for $15,000 dollars since both he and his wife lost their jobs recently.
Authorities are asking fans to stay home and watch the service via CNN/FACEBOOK LIVE EVENT STREAM. One has to register though. Over 50,000 people have already registered. Any fan who does not have valid tickets will not be allowed inside a certain perimeter from Staples Center. They need to have wrist band just to get into the “zone” where ticket holders may gather with media people.
One person who obtained tickets is selling hers on eBay for $100,000.00 US dollars. Can you even believe that? Believe it.. see screenshot below:
