Comments on: Jackson Memorial Tickets Turn Golden

Passes to Tribute Going For Up to $20,000 on eBay; Two Fans Who Won Them Talk About It

I know what it's like to not want 12 people to decide your fate. Even if you know you did nothing wrong you don't know what those 12 people are going to decide.I believe the parents of these children saw big dollar signs.I don't know if he was guilty, but he now stands before the final Judge and if he's guilty GOD will deal his punishment.I pray for peace for his family. MJ was never left alone during his life how about giving him some peace in death.

You know I'm really getting sick and tired of the negative comments about Michael Jackson, especially calling him a pedophile. I guess you people have forgotten that he was found innocent of those charges. I'm 51 years old and grew up listening to the KING OF POP and still listen to him and he has done more for all races than anyone I can think of.WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET HIM REST IN PEACE!!!!

CBS is being irresponsible reporting what they heard and didn't even see on a web page. I looked for myself, and eBay has de-listed $25,000 tickets. At least one memorial ticket failed to sell for $800. Mr. CBS, what you see on eBay is not news. Whatyou read on twitter about a listing on eBay is not news. Please so some hard reporting.

I agree that all the press around Michael Jackson's death is sickening. This is the reason other countries hate us, our obsession with materialism and ignorance of the rest of the world. How can we prove them wrong when the UNSUSPICIOUS DEATH of a celebrity (no foul play, no suspected homicide) gets more press coverage than the rising unrest in Iran or the state of our own economy and government?

And to you bloody idiots selling the tickets: WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS, DO YOU THINK PEOPLE -HAVE- $20,000 TO SPEND ON TICKETS?! THEY COULD JUST BUY A NEW CAR AND WATCH THE SERVICE AT HOME FOR FREE!!!

Morons, man. I'm NOT proud to be an American right now. I'm proud to be me. I'm ashamed of my country right now. I'm sure our troops are proud to be defending a country who thinks more highly of an alleged child molester than the people who are fighting and dying for them.

Congratulations. You are those people.

To rplat - you hit the nail right on the head.

Just because he wasn't convicted doesn't mean it didn't happen, get your head out of the sand. you celebrate a child molester and drug addict your way and others will do it there way.OJ wasn't convicted either. Again transscripts are out read them before you celebrate!

I hope the Nation of Islam make an appearance and tells us how bad Michael was treated by all the non-black folks while Jamie Fox, Rev Al and Jesse J shout AMEN MY BROTHA!!! Pass the plate!

But-but, grabbing his crotch was just the he felt the music according to him and sleeping with kids is normal according to him. What he was saying is us low-lifes who are beneath him do not understand because he was so rich and famous, that made him right about everything. LOL No, he would not ever think of seeking counseling for his problems.

Oh and according to him, he only had plastic surgery twice. The rest of his change was caused by a rare skin disease that affects no one else like it affected him.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Making a carnival out of it and scalping tickets, befitting and a legacy.
