Charge For Michael Jackson's Memorial Service Dropped

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Michael Jackson's funeral will be free after all. Family members were reportedly pressured to drop the rumored $25 tickets they wanted to sell to fans who wish to attend the King of Pop's memorial service.

According to RadarOnline, who also first reported about the ticket price for the memorial service, the Jackson family dropped their plan to charge grieving fans who wish to attend the memorial service for the "Thriller" star at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Many fans were outraged upon learning the family wished to charge for the tickets. Pressured into giving up the ticket charges, the family were forced to just give away the almost 11,000 tickets to fans.

It was also reported that the service would be a star-studded affair, and will have Diana Ross and Elizabeth Taylor appearing alongside other stars.
