APTOPIX Michael Jackson World Reax

The Michael Jackson memorial will now be taking place at the Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles, July 7th 2009. Tickets are going for $25 and there will be two sessions, one at 10AM and the other at 12PM. VIP’s including Michael’s family and friends will also attend, occupying the floor seats.

The Barnum Bailey Circus that was scheduled for that day, has been pushed back and will continue at the end of the ceremony. LA Live which includes the Nokia theatre and the large outdoor area have also been designated for the “King of Pop’s” memorial.

I don’t understand why they’re charging the public $25 to attend a memorial. That seems a little inappropriate. Especially when the scalpers start coming out and try to make a profit on this tragedy.

At first, a public viewing was scheduled to be at Neverland Ranch, two hours outside of Los Angeles, but the Jackson family refused. It was probably a smart move on their part, for the simple fact that an open viewing may have caused a lot more commotion then good.

    I REALLY REALLY wish that I can go L.A to see Michael Jackson :’(

    There is a reason why they are pricing Michael’s funeral because they wanted to control the crowd. I’m pretty sure; there will be lots and lots of people to bid their last farewell to the most famous Michael Jackson. I hope I can be there also.

    We will all miss Michael Jackson a lot. He was very talented. We respect him a lot. This whole thing with funeral tickets is IMMORAL. Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Barry White and nobody else had their fans requiring a ticket to go to their funeral so why does the people who is in charge of Michael’s funeral? A funeral is a time to mourn, pay your respects and celebrate their life, not just another show to see. What a wierd moment we’ll see in the history books to come. What message are we sending to our kids? A funeral is no longer a time to mourn, pay your respects and celebrate the decease’s life, but a show. I may be an old fashioned 29 year old, but this funeral ticket thing is STUDID, IMMORAL, and shows DISRESPECT for Michael Jackson, his family, friends, and fans.

    It accepted my entry after hours of trying. I pray that I am selected. Michael Jackson and his music has meant alot to me my entire life. It would be an honor to be at his Memorial service and pay my respects. He was pure magic, pure love and pure talent. As a child of the 70’s and teen of the 80’s, his music was the background music of my life.

    Much love and respect to the Jackson family, Debbie

  13. Gloria Ferguson July 3, 2009 - 3:21 pm

    It would mean a lot to me to be selected I have always been a fan of Michael jacksons music.

    Michael will be missed a lot. Love and respects to the family.

Despite the drama that he had to go through in his life, I have the greatest respect for the worlds greatest entertainer. He is definetly one of a kind and there will never be anybody like him.

    this is a prayer for michael jackson:
    Michael: we all know that you are resting now, you are resting from the pressures of this life,
    we know how special human you were, we also saw your tribulations,
    you were very successfull in your life like noone else,
    we know the world loved you, we know some felt envy for seeing how much you were blessed in your life,
    eventhought i did not know you i felt your death , i am sure that it is because of the kind of spirit you had, i saw on you humility and kindness like on noone else,
    the world can be a cruel place to be,
    when you have what others do not, some tend to hate you,
    your talent , your voice , is some no many have,
    may god give you the peace your did not have in this life,
    i heard your mom is a jehova witness, so it means you knew the truth,
    we know god knows the real one you were, he will keep you in a peaceful place till the day of resureccion, many donot believe in resurreccion but we do beleive, this world is not designed for kind peolple cause when you are kind they kill you like they did with jesus,
    i ll remember your voice forever and my prayers for the peace of your soul , god will protect your children and will bring them into the truth so one day all the chosen ones will be together,
    so rest in peace dear michael.

    I know Michael was heavily in dept at the time of his death. It could be the reason they are charging for tickets. It is unfortunate that scalpers will be using this death as another way to make money. Some people have no dignity and I hope he police enforce the law when it come to this practice of scalping tickets.

    MJ will always be remembered

  24. elvis nelson July 5, 2009 - 7:49 am

    I wish all the families of MJ a good memorable day, from Elvis Nelson, South Africa

    It’s sad but life goes on when someone dies, it does not stop for anyone. Also, it is time to bury him so his family can learn to live life without him. All this talk of drugs, why didn’t someone try and,get the man some help? Hopefully, know one tries to get there 15 minutes of fame when the memorial on Tuesday.

  27. ron July 5, 2009 - 11:54 am

    You guys are stupid. Give the family a break?????????? Who do you think is putting this farse together? Ask youyrself, who has the authority to do this?? His Family! Dear ole Mom and Dad. This whole thing is a joke and Michael Jackson isn’t a hero. He’s a pedophile who should have

  28. ron July 5, 2009 - 11:56 am

    Hi,

    I have a ticket to Michael Jackson’s funeral. It is two tickets but since one of ticket is personal to the “buyer” I have one over.

    Is anyone interested in this ticket? I live in Stockholm, Sweden so I have no chance of getting to Los Angeles in time for this.
    Of course I can provide with screenshot of the ticket!
