It Is Free! Michael Jackson's Funeral Open To Public, Free Of Charge!

As arrangements are being ironed out for the final farewell for Michael Jackson, we're happy to report for fans of the King of Pop that the funeral proceedings at the Staples Center in Los Angeles won't cost fans anything to attend.

The promoter announced this morning that "there will not be a charge for tickets" and that more details will become available later on in the day.

We're very glad to hear that the family is not looking to profit off of Michael's death, but we also know this is going to be a logistical nightmare! There is only 20,000 seats in Staples Center and way more fans than could ever be counted.

This is sure to be interesting.
