Tickets for Michael Jackson’s memorial service snapped up by ticket touts
Tickets for Michael Jackson’s memorial service have been snapped up by ticket touts who plan to make money out of the tragic event.
Jacko passed away aged 50 in LA on June 25 after he reportedly suffered a heart attack.
The memorial is being held at the Staples Center in LA, and tickets for the event were posted online for fans but quickly sold out.
British fan Julian Nelson, 27, was unable to get one of the exclusive tickets and, talking about the touts, he said: “It’s totally out of order and against the spirit of the whole event.
He added: “I was gutted not to get a ticket.
“But it’s worse knowing others did and all they care about is making a quick buck. The touts should be ashamed.
“You just don’t get lower than tryng to make money off a person’s death.”
