Jackson Memorial Tickets -- Now a Worldly Event

Posted Jul 4th 2009 6:47AM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonMichael Jackson is clearly the international star in death that he was in life -- the memorial lottery is now open to the world.

Initially, only U.S.residents qualified for the ticket drawing to score seats for Tuesday's Staples Center memorial. But now the folks putting it together have decided to open up registration to all earthly beings, saying, "Additional legal terms have been incorporated into the conditions of entry to allow non-U.S. residents the opportunity to register for the random ticket drawing."

The drawing closes tonight at 6:00 PM PT. Click here to register.

16. OMG........how many tee shirt vendors got permits?
I also think the family and or estate should pay the full cost of this event, because they are putting it on not for any other reason then their own ego's

17. Is it just me or has this country gone insane? Has it slipped everyone's mind that Michel Jackson was put on trial for touching little boys? In fact he was put on the national pedophile watch list just like every other molester out there. Lucky for him, the idiots that idolized him built up his bank roll which allowed him to buy his way out of the situation. Michael Jackson was a freak who was brought under suspicion of molestation and we glorify him as if he was a God. Get a grip people, there is no doubt that Michael was a star, and I'm quite sure that his star is the brightest one in hell!

18. I'm not sure why black people claim Michael Jackson as one of their own. He was definitely white all the way. I ahve been trying for years to get him to join my skinhead group. Thank you for your Whiteness Michael!!

19. Cremate the guy, rent a hot air balloon and then dump his ashes on all the idiots that bought his music.

20. Farewell Michael Jackson. RIP. May God smile on you in the after-life. I can't make it to the memorial, but I hope the family will find comfort in their hour of need.

23. I honestly can't believe people are still going on about this pedaphile. Thankfully where hes at he can't hurt anymore little kids. I'm assuming hes burning in the hottest part of hell right about now.

24. I say, cremate him, put his ashes inside a roman candle and lite him off over the Grand Canyon with a world-wide feed. Now that world combine all the showbiz of evil kninevil (sp RIP, dude) and a wonderful Fourth of July celebration. Lots of free parking around the Grand Canyon.

25. STOP! Pleeeeeaseeeee stop the madness. The man was not the second coming. The people worshiping, weeping, wailing and moaning at the "alter of Michael" are more sick than he was. He was an extremely talented, weird, pervert. Enjoy his music, but bury him and move on. Just exactly who is going to pay for all extra police required for this circus in L.A?

27. if I live in mexico, can participate in the lottery for a ticket? or I must be a U.S resident?

28. This man was neither a god or a saint. I am beyond words to understand the mentality of the people that celebrate him as such.

29. Not a smart move in my opinion. We already have millions of americans applying for the ticket lottery. And, many have no inetnions or means of going. They simply hope they'll win 2 tickets to keep as souvenirs.

Now factor in millions of additional people world wide applying for the lottery, and it's safe to say many seats will be empty; tickets having gone to people with no means or intentions of going in the first place.

This lottery idea is chaotic and poorly planned. Tickets will likely be listed on ebay for profit by winners too.

30. Seems to me that some of you would benefit immensely by listening to Michael Jackson’s Heal The World message.
People please. Stop going to church, christianity creates hate and is making you evil and rotting your soul.
