Pay Your Respects

I find this hard to believe but word has surfaced that those who seek to pay their respects to the late great, King of Pop will have to shell out $25 for entry.
Indeed, Michael Jackson’s public memorial will take place on Tuesday, July 7th (allegedly at the Staples Center in Los Angeles), but fans will have to pay $25 to sit in the stands.
Why the entry fee (if this is true!)? Before you blame Papa Joe, there may be a number of factors involved.
The most noted one is the state of California being broke. The City of Los Angeles is facing a $530 million dollar deficit and to properly secure a spectacle of this nature is not cheap.
On the other hand, the memorial service will include guest speakers, music and video screens inside and outside of the Staples Center, and celebrity guests like Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Ross.
They’ll even be selling the t-shirts from Jackson’s would be comeback tour, “This Is It.” It’s a recession, ya’ll: We can’t waste cotton like that.
To be fair to Mike, he is the best to have ever done it. He can’t go out with a boring memorial. If I remember James Brown’s funeral correctly, it was one of the best concerts I had seen in years. Mike has to raise the bar!
M.J will always be the king of pop dont matter what.

Where did you get this information from? They JUST talked about the memorial will be free…??? They are trying to get some system in place as to how they will give the tickets out (or whatever they are going to do) and have some form of registration…
Perhaps TMZ can help you out with your contacts
