Jackson Memorial
Crowds of people are gathering outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles where a memorial for Michael Jackson will be held on Tuesday morning.
Free tickets to the memorial are being given out through the Staples Center web site. But despite that, police are concerned that hundreds of thousands of fans could flock to the Staples Center.
Instead, they're asking people to stay home, and watch the memorial on TV.
People can register online until Saturday evening, when names will be randomly selected.
