Michael Jackson's memorial service will be held at two separate venues on Tuesday morning -- the main event will be at the Staples Center and a simulcast will play at the Nokia Theatre.
A lottery has been set up for fans to obtain the free tickets -- and they can sign up for the random drawing on the Staples Center website ... good luck logging on.
17,500 tickets are available for the event -- 11,000 for Staples and 6,500 for Nokia -- which will be divvied out 2 per person. If you are one of the 8,750 people selected, you will then be alerted on Sunday with further instructions.
Oh yeah ... only U.S. residents can apply.
Also, the family wouldn't say if Michael's body would be at the memorial.

So finally we have something firm on Michael Jackson.
On Tuesday morning a motorcade will go from Forest Lawn Mortuary in L.A. to the Staples Center complex in downtown Los Angeles where the public memorial will be held.
We're told the family still hasn't decided whether the memorial will be at the Staples Center or the smaller Nokia Theatre. A decision on that is expected shortly.

We've learned Terri Seymour -- Simon Cowell's ex -- was assaulted after attending the "American Idol" finale last night.
It happened at L.A. Live -- a complex that includes the Nokia Theatre where "A.I." was taped. A 33-year-old woman walked up to Terri, asked if she was Simon's girlfriend. The suspect allegedly attacked her and attempted to choke her.
The suspect -- Janice Thibodeaux -- was booked on felony battery. She's being held on $52,700 bail.
We're told Terri refused medical treatment. She was escorted out of the complex by three cops.
Just found out Thibodeaux is twice Terri's size, weighing in at 200 lbs.
UPDATE -- TMZ spoke with Thibodeaux's brother and sister who told us Janice is "not crazy" and this is "way out of character" for her.
