The Jackson family has decided to hold a memorial for their late son at Los Angeles’ Staple Center. Jackson died last week from what was probably a strong dependence on prescription drugs.

The family’s decision to have an open memorial, which will probably be broadcast, was made as a tribute to the fans whom made Jackson a star.

But, of course, not all will be allowed in. The Staple Center will have room only for 11,000 fans. Instead of selling tickets, fans will instead submit their names in a lottery and then be randomly selected.

Fans who do not want to watch it at home, but along other fans at a venue will have another opportunity. Another lottery with 6,500 tickets will be available for a live simulcast at L.A. brand new Nokia Center.

Those without tickets have been encouraged not to try to get in. Police plan to create a radius around the Staple Center and prevent anyone without a ticket from entering the area.

“If you do not have a ticket, if you are not credentialed, not only will you not be allowed at these venues, you will not be allowed in this area,” Earl Paysinger, the Los Angeles Police Department chief, said.

As to what the service will include, all details - including whether Jackson’s body will even be present - have remained confidential. There will be no funeral procession.

Jackson’s service will be broadcast live to the world this Tuesday.
