    Michael Jackson Memorial Ticket Winners Tonight Sunday! Did You Win?

    Here we are at 6pm PCT, finishing up our beautiful 4th of July weekend…

    ON THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS…CROSSING OUR FINGERS TO BE THE LUCKY WINNERS TO MICHAEL JACKSON’S LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL AT THE STAPLES CENTER.

    Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock…

    *THIS JUST IN* Breitbart news source reports that tickets have begun to trickle out to people who registered NOW! Tonight! Sunday!

    “OMG OMG OMG OMG i got tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial service!!!” tweeted Deka Daye from San Francisco. Other messages came from users in Scotland and Iran.”

    WHOA! WAIT…Did they just say “messages came from users in Scotland and Iran”? Do they mean that people in other countries get the chance to go to the event? That’s weird because a couple days ago, the StaplesCenter.com stated that “all who register, must be U.S.A. citizens.”

    Okay, so did Staples let the “U.S. citizen rule” slide today? Is this a mistake? We aren’t being mean, bias or pompous about ‘other countries’ than America, we just thought the rules were only allowing American citizens to enter the memorial contest. Let’s face it, how are these winners from other countries going make it to the memorial anyway? Flights are probably packed, hotels are jammed…how will they travel the distance to make it on time?

    HOW DO YOU GET FROM IRAN TO LOS ANGELES IN 2 DAYS IS THE QUESTION!!!

    Don’t ruin other peoples’ chances that actually live within the region of the Staples Center, or can seriously make the event!

    If you won, leave us your story in the comment section!!!

    I didn’t win and am really bummed about it. I know the chances were only like 1 in 183, but for some reason, I figured I’d really have a shot. It’s too bad there wasn’t some way to send tickets to those who truly were Michael Jackson fans, and not simply those interested in being a party of history.

    I won tickets but am having a hard time believing this is real. I’m in Seattle but the flights are so last minute and expensive. What to do? What to do?

    Thats messed up, Why did you guys register if you weren’t 100% sure of going? You ruined it for the real M J FANs!!!!!! Now we r at an even greater loss!! All because of people like you guys… and for those selling the tickets on E-bay….Shame On you Making a profit out of someone you guys could care less about!!! Once again “You guys ruined it for the Real M J Fans!” :.(

    I agree with others…why did you people register if you weren’t 100% sure you could go??!! I live in Massachusetts, so you couldn’t be much further away from CA, but if an e-mail came through to me yesterday saying my registration was accepted, you can be damn sure I would have booked a flight last night, despite the cost!! Once again, this just further cements the fact that 75% of the audience won’t even be true Michael Jackson fans. It is so unfair that there was no way to give the tickets to the actual fans. My family is tired of hearing me complain about this, but I just feel so cheated, and I loved Michael more than anyone…

    Michael Jackson will always hold a place in my heart, I’m still a fan of his and no matter the distance I would have done anything in my power to make it out there. unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to have won, unless tickets are still coming through. For those of you who did win all I can say is…enjoy every minute, take lots of pictures and remember that Michael loved all his fans. I’m missing you Michael always and forever may you have eternal rest and peace, I Love You. Thank You for being a part of my life. LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP!!

    I am a 67-year old woman who really emjoyed M.J. from day one. I even enjoyed his VICTORY tour and to have to miss his final fairwell is really heartbreaking. Those people to whom the AEG family picked and then they decided to sell their tickets is simply ludacris.
    Eventhougt, now since i wasn’t chosen,I would like to know how to get a M J Memorial Program.
