Jackson Memorial Opened Up To Planet Earth

Filed under: Michael Jackson

staples_center_12_wenn2490.jpg

The odds of nabbing a ticket to Michael Jackson's memorial are now slimmer!

Paper thin, even.

The lottery was originally only open to residents of the States, but the drawing to win two tickets to the memorial at LA's Staples Center on Tuesday is now open to the entire world.

According to the new rules, "additional legal terms have been incorporated into the conditions of entry to allow non-U.S. residents the opportunity to register for the random ticket drawing."

Good luck, universe!

You've got until 6:00 pm PT!

    GoodLuck To everyone !



  3. 3

    Lol wtf, if you wanna see a funeral wait till you have your own. Seriously, why not let Michael's funeral be for his loved ones.



  4. 4

    DAMN IT MUTHAFUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  5. 5

    Also, lol @ all the comments you received from people calling you mean for saying Michael faked it.

    this just really pisses me off, and i dont give flying fuck if i sound selfish!! 1st i tried to get tickets to his 30th aniversary show in NY back in 2001…didn't work, too expensive. then FINALLY got my promo code on a monday to claim my ticket for his london show and he ups and dies on thursday, and know this!!!! i registered yesturday but highly doubt now that i'll get a ticket! i guess its just not in stars to ever see any Michael Jackson show!!! agrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

    I hope Perez does not get tickets to the MJ memorial. He has treated MJ like scum for as long as he has been blogging. He would only go so he could say he was there. He's trying to be a little bit nicer these days but only because so many people are pissed that even in death he treats people like scum. Because everyone knows Perez as soon as Michael is buried you will go back to being the SCUM you are. Try and think about his kids

    At this rate, I think my chances would be better if I tried to befriend one of the Jackson family members to get one of their 9,000 tickets. Does anyone have a number or an address of a Jackson family member? Thanks.



  9. 9

    Are you going to this Perez? To report back to us?

    Michael Jackson will never be tryly laid to rest… as the public will not allow it. Just like Princess Di… Elvis… Lennon, etc.

    I hope I get enough art out b-4 I pass so that I have that legacy to leave behind. How morbid.



  10. 10

    OOOPS. Tryly = truly. I BAD.



  11. 11

    I'm already inside the Staples Center and typing this on my laptop. I'm here with Liza, Liz, and Bubbles and we're kicking back some pain pills with plenty of cocktails. Yipeeeee!



  12. 12

    Rose & Leon!!!xoxo. Life is a great thing, Enjoy it.

    R&L



  14. 14

    Good luck everyone. If I win, I'll sell my extra ticket for $1,000. I'm not greedy.



  15. 15

    Good luck everyone!



  16. 16

    im going with or without a ticket and im sure many are to follow



  17. 17

    And "if" I do win them, how do I sell them?



  18. 18

    …its just one big retarded circus…



  19. 19

    Today Empire was on TV and K was quizing C on various things. She only knew a few things. You would have totally kicked her butt!!! I wish you could have been there!!! Ymi ms today. 46 ms, bg



  20. 20

    folks from other countries wont even have time to get there b4 Tuesday



  21. 21

    WOW I wish I can go…..
    Re: NotDaRealDebbieDeb – I am with you I will try to go even if I dont have a ticket……



  22. 22

    Talk about STEVE MCNAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  23. 23

    I'm trying anyway. Why? Not because I am a crazy freak, it is because this is history in the making. I think this will go down in history and be burned in everyone's mind, like Princess Diana's wedding or JFK's funeral. Heck, I wasn't born for any of this, but it is still something that I can recall seeing on tv being played over and over!

    MJ was superstar. His family and friends realize that his fans were a big part of his life and they want them to have a venue to express their grief and get their emotions out about MJ. If I get tickets, I will promptly buy lotto tickets after this, lol.

    I think it's absolutely stupid. They should have just put him on display for like a week or something like they due others, and let people that can go see him go, and those who can't..can't. THey're making this worse that it really has to be.



  25. 25

    Why should the City of LA pay for a "private performer's" funeral ?

    Why ?

    It's not right, especially with all the budget cuts.,



  26. 26

    It seems kind of stupid, as people in other parts of the word can't get here in time for the funeral, but whatever. I'm sure they were scared someone would sue!



  27. 27

    It`s very sad what we consider priorities. If only we could put this much effort and $$ to all the animals suffering..

    .Sick.

    MADONNA"S THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD HAVE SAVED HIM!
    1.)THEY WERE BEST FRIENDS AND TALKED TO EACH OTHER DAILY.
    2.)MADONNA WAS CLOSE TO THE JACKSON FAMILY.
    3.)MADONNA INSPIRED MICHAEL TO WRITE THRILLER.
    4.)MADONNA COVERTED HIM TO ISLAM.
    5.)MADONNA COULD HAVE SAVED HIM,BUT SHE WAS BUSY SAVING POOR STARVING KIDS IN AFRICA.
    6.) MICHEAL OWES ALL HIS SUCESS TO MADONNA.AND SHE WILL SING AT HIS FUNERAL
    7.)WE SHOULD ALL BOW DOWN TO MADONNA AND PRAISE HER SAINTHOOD.

    Re: PP16WW – #19 i could have used a good BLOWJOB……



  30. 30

    if you are going to report something so late, why report at all? oh my bad i should have said–if you are going to copy something off someone else's website who actually did work for their information, why do it at all?



  31. 31

    Good luck everyone and keep the faith and praise madonna for being his best friend!



  32. 32

    MJ IS A LOT MORE POPULAR WORLDWIDE THAN HE IS IN THE USA SO THIS MAKES COMPLETE SENSE AND IS TOTALLY FAIR !!



  33. 33

    Are you going to bash Michael Jackson on here when his funeral is taking place too? I hope one of his fans kill you, I really do.

    FUCK YOU.



  34. 34

    Re: MICHAEL= BEST PERFORMER – Actually it was the song Ben from the movie Ben. Not the movie Willard.



  40. 40

    Actually the song was Ben from the movie Ben. Willard was a different movie about a rat. I love that song too.

  48. 48

    Re: uranus – true! Titi's agrees with anus.



  49. 49

    Whatever - I just wish the crazy ass family would get their shit together and decide where to bury the poor man and let him rest in peace finally! You know this whole public memorial thing is BS and will cause a madhouse with people claiming they're the rightful winners. It was like that in AU with Steve Irwin's memorial service.

    Going to go puke….yet another monument for a base evil person.



  51. 51

    who cares..they should take any money he had left and give it to the young boys he molested and screwed them up for life.

    Re: MADONNA COULD HAVE SAVED MICHAEL
    HAHAHAHAH i laugh at you!! Madonna didnt convert Michael to islam, MAdonna reads the Kabbalah. Besides, why the fuck could she have "saved" him, how retarded. Give Michael his thang, he was a star like NO ONE else.

  53. CM17 says – reply to this


    53

    Re: poonster
    He didnt molest anyway. Both cases were dropped, and he shelled out the cash to one of the boys so he would just leave him alone and he woulnt have to go through the whole trial. Michael was a very sensitive person. And besides if you dont like him stay out of it, HAve some respect for the dead :(

    I am getting sick and tired of reading/hearing the negative criticism and scrutinizing of Michael. What gives people the right to falsely accuse him of any wrong doing. He was no pedofile. He wasn't a child molester. What gives anyone the right to say he was. People were jealous of his talent and success. They went after his money. Its such bullshit that people will stoop so low to hurt another person emotionally and his reputation. The man was the King of Pop. The best ever and will go down in history as that. No one will ever surpass MJ. MJ had an up and down life. He struggled and was abused by his father. Later to be accused of molesting a child. All Michael wanted to do was help this world and he succeeded. He broke the racial barrier and was the best humanitarian ever. Unfortunatley, he wasnt able to get rid of the demons. He wasn't able to overcome his insecurities. His fathers abuse, false accusations and all the criticism on his surgeries ultimately helped to kill him. People need to shut the hell up. If you have nothing nice to say than shut up. I love you Michael!!!! You will absolutely be missed. Rest in Peace my brother. No one can bother you anymore.

    Re: CM17 – #52 madonna is GOD!



  56. 56

    WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL…. RIP…. WE MISS YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!



  57. 57

    That is know more then right or fair, Michael Jackson, did not just belong to the United States but the entire world. Therefore I am glad they opened it up to the world too have a chance. Michael would like it as that he loved all people; no mater if they even lied on him. He still showed compassion. People do not know just how much they hurt Michael, he already hurt fromsome of his childhood life. Then falling off stage making his body hurt too, but mental hurt is the deepiest.



  58. 58

    Re: uranus – i mtotally agree with what your saying..but he means so much to thw world, and this is their last gift to his fans. Its just a memorial not a funeral.. His body MOST likely will NOT be there

    peace & love



  59. 59

    who wants to buy my ticket???



  60. 60

    funeral for his loved ones? if it weren't for the fans who made hime rich by purchasing concert tickets, merchandise, and music he wouldn't have anything.. they owe it to us to decide what happens to the body etc.. what happens next? i think the fans should vote on it honey!
