Each person was given two tickets, so the second ticket could have been sold since that one wasn't attached to a name.
yah i thought so.

The way i think of it is that there was no way that if MJ died it would be a quiet private affair. It should have been, but lets face it, this was the most famous person in the world (my opinion)
Im probably right though...if you think about it, who is more famous then Michael Jackson? in this age i mean (barring Elvis)
The Rolling Stones?

Michael Jackson was famous but hasn't been at his peak for a very long time. He was pretty insignificant nowadays and the only reason people are making such a big deal about him was because of how famous he was back in his heyday. I'm sorry, but there are lot more important people in the world nowadays than Michael Jackson and he should not have been giving the amount of media coverage that he was getting, especially with all the other going on in the world during the time of his death.
