Fan Ballot for Jackson Funeral

Saturday 4th July 2009 - 08:00:00

Fans of Michael Jackson will be able to attend his memorial service next week (07Jul09) if they're picked at random in an online ballot.

Jackson devotees will have to register online for a chance to be allocated one of 11,000 free tickets which are to be made available for the public ceremony at Los Angeles' Staples Center on Tuesday morning.

Further details about ticket availability will be announced on Friday (03Jul09).

The venue is particularly poignant for the King Of Pop's followers - it is where he was rehearsing for his comeback This Is It shows just a day before his death last week (25Jun09).
