LOS ANGELES (AP) - Winners of the country's hottest ticket are showing up at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles to pick them up.
The tickets are not for a sporting event, but tomorrow's memorial service for pop superstar Michael Jackson.
More than 1.6 million fans registered online for a chance to attend the Staples Center ceremony, and only 8,750 names were chosen.
Meanwhile, there's word that Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe will attend the service. Rowe is the mother of Jackson's two oldest children.
It's not known yet how much Los Angeles will spend in connection with the event. Councilwoman Jan Perry tells CBS' "Early Show" she'd "love it" if the Jacksons helped pay some of the expected costs, but that officials haven't heard from the family.
The memorial service will be broadcast live on five television networks.
