There are 17,500 free tickets available for Michael Jackson's fans to attend the funeral service. Out of that 11,000 will attend live at Staples and the rest will view a simulcast on big screens at the nearby Nokia theatre.
It is unknown if Michael's body will be at the Staples Center. But, there will be no funeral procession.
Those interested in attending the funeral service can visit staplescenter.com to register today. A random drawing will be held later to decide who gets tickets.
It appears that Michael Jackson's parents will be the ones who decide the pop star's funeral arrangements. It will not matter what Michael Jackson's religion was - they will decide.
Michael Jackson died after being taken to a hospital on June 25 having suffered cardiac arrest. He was 50.
The pop legend is survived by three children: Michael Jr., Paris, and Prince. He was not currently married, having previously divorced from Lisa Marie Presley and then Deborah Jeanne Rowe.
Michael Jackson's mother Katherine Jackson has filed a petition with the Los Angeles Superior Court seeking control over the late star's estate and to be appointed the guardian of his three minor children. She was appointed temporary custody until August 3 when a hearing on the matter will take place.
Michael Jackson's will, which was released Thursday, states that his entire estate is given to the Michael Jackson Family Trust. The will specifically states that nothing goes to his former wife, Deborah Jean Rowe Jackson. The will also specifically states that he has intentionally omitted all of his heirs.
According to the will, Katherine Jackson is to be the guardian of Michael Jackson's children. If she cannot, then Diana Ross is asked to be the guardian.
Michael Jackson was known as the "King of Pop," with many No. 1 hits, and his "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time.
It is still not established what caused Jackson's death. Final autopsy results are still awaited. The family has now obtained a second and more definitive autopsy opinion from a private source. The Los Angeles Coroner's Office has so far been unable to make conclusive findings.
Meanwhile, media reports said Friday that Diprivan, a powerful sedative, was found in Jackson's home, citing a law enforcement official. Diprivan, also known as Propofol, is a short-acting intravenous nonbarbiturate sedative agent used for the induction of general anesthesia for adults and children. The official stated it is very unusual to have this drug in a private home.
According to Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who was working with Michael Jackson, the pop star repeatedly pleaded for Diprivan as he was struggling with persistent insomnia while preparing for a series of comeback concerts. Lee said she rejected his demands every time because the drug was unsafe.
