LOS ANGELES (AP) - Fans who didn't score free tickets to Michael Jackson's memorial service, and are considering heading down to the Staples Center anyway, should probably reconsider. The streets around Staples Center will be closed, plus there will be no funeral procession through the city and the ceremony will not be shown on Staples' giant outdoor TV screen. Police are warning those without tickets to stay away. Los Angeles officials are concerned about other fans clogging city streets. More than 1.6 million people registered to win the coveted free tickets. A total of 8,750 people were chosen to receive two tickets each.
