I propose everyone who wants to attend, donate $10 per ticket to help pay for the "incremental costs", as the councilwoman stated, of staging this service. ten bucks is reasonable...17,500 x $10 = $175,000

Staples is gonna make a hell of a lot of money with all those hungry and thirsty people walking around. They gonna get paid either way.

I propose that you are out of your mind. Pay to go to a funeral? No fucking way!

FrancescaGianna: it's not a fucking funeral. it's a memorial. the city has no money and people want to go see his body. if they want to go then they pay. if people like you and me don't want to go, then FUCKING DON'T GO. WATCH IT ON TV.

I jumped for joy upon hearing of michael jackson's death. I would love to watch him writhe in pain. I'm reliving his moment of spectacular death. He tossed and turned on his death bed. Maggots crawled out of his eye sockets and nostrils. Then his body went stiff. He gasped for air, choking on his semen. "Beat it, beat it," he muttered, then his body went limp and he was no more. I wish I were there to capture this kodak moment on camera. After the funeral, i'm gonna pee on his grave.

Only 17,500 tickets? They're doing it wrong. This thing could have had more people than the Obama Inauguration.

staple center can hold about 20,000 max and dodger stadium can hold about 60,000, neither one of those would have been big enough to fit everybody who wanted to go. even the new L.A. stadium being built will only hold about 75,000.
The largest stadium in the entire world can only hold 150,000 people but it's in North Korea and I definitely don't think we'd wanna go over there right about now.

Still, though, they're not even letting anybody else on the streets in the area. I'm sure there's going to be tons of people who would (and will) fly in from all over the world for this. They should plan for it being as big as Obama's Inauguration and have it in a section of the city where they could plan for such a thing...although there may not be a whole lot of time to put something like that together. *shrugs*

The city needs help to cover some of the costs? Seriously?
And how many police officers are going to be paid overtime to cover this event?
The taxpayers shouldn't have to pay ONE DIME for this event. And people wonder why California is going through this fiscal crisis?
I'm sorry, but local government should only have to pay for memorial services for fallen police officers, firemen, etc., NOT for pop stars.

This whole memorial service thing for Michael Jackson pisses me off beyond words.
People are losing their homes and jobs every single day in Southern California, and this is what the city wants to do with the cash it DOESN'T have?
Hooray for all the Michael Jackson fans! You get to have your memorial service at the partial expense of the taxpayers! Hope you're proud.
I'm not!
