Michael Jackson Public Memorial Staples Center Tuesday, July 7

July 2nd, 2009 by Castina

The public farewell service for pop legend Michael Jackson will take place on Tuesday, July 7 at 10AM at the 20,000-seat Staples Center in Los Angeles. The program will be simulcast at L.A.’s nearby Nokia Theatre.

Approximately 11,000 tickets will be available to the general public and all tickets will be free of charge.

The “private and public memorial” will be held at the Staples Center in downtown LA at 10 AM, Randy Phillips, president of AEG Live — the organization which was behind Jackson’s planned 50-show stint in London — told NBC News this morning. “Everything is in preliminary stages except the place and time,” Phillips told NBC.

No word on where the late King of Pop will be buried.

The child star turned musical genius died on Thursday, June 25 on cardiac arrest. He was 50.

I think it is okay if they charge for Michael’s funeral as long as it is worth it. If there will be big starts who would be there, then I think that would be fine, but it should not be overpriced. Maybe a donation would do.

You know, I think its sad Michael Jackson died. What really makes me mad is when i read the comments, a word that holds an advertizement fills the screen and I can’t read.

Who cares about your product, go away. Now I won’t buy from you since you don’t let me get it off my screen.

My heart goes out to his family. It was a terrible loss for everyone. I wish everyone with ignorant comments would learn to mind their manners. RIP KING OF POP!
