Michael Jackson funeral tickets will be available to the public. 17,500 free tickets for the funeral, to be held at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 7,  will be released today, according to a spokesman for the Jackson family. The service will begin at 10am local time. 17,500 Tickets will be available at staplescenter.com, 6,500 for viewing at the nearby Nokia Center and 11,000 for Staples Center itself. Tickets will be available for pickup on Monday morning. Registration is available for US residents only, and is open from 10am July 3 to 6pm on July 4.

Once registration closes, attendees will be chose at random from those who were able to register. Those fans will be notified via email with further information, including where to pick up their tickets and wristbands.

Details on how to get tickets were made public via a press conference at Staples Center, at 10am Pacific Time today. Jan Perry from the Los Angeles City Council is outlining the city’s role in managing public safety during the massive event that will be the Michael Jackson funeral, which will draw people from all over the world, and is urging people to watch from home.

There will be no funeral procession to Staples Center, and video feeds will be made available to news outlets for free. The LAPD is stressing that those without wristbands will not be allowed near the Staples Center area: the borders will be Flowers Street, Olympic Blvd, Pico Blvd, and Blaine St.
