Michael Jackson fans that were randomly selected to get tickets to the
memorial Tuesday are picking up their tickets at Dodger Stadium.
More than one-million people sent in emails to try and get tickets and of
those 8,750 people were selected. They each get two tickets and
will be fitted with a special wristband.
Many of the fans are very excited about going to the memorial; some of them
are almost treating it like they are going to a concert. One woman said she
has been crying since Jackson died and is still crying just thinking about
going to the memorial.
Another fan got a Michael Jackson tattoo on her leg the day after he died.
The memorial will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It will be
broadcast on network television. Michael Jackson's former wife and mother of
two of his children, Debbie Rowe, is expected to attend.
