Scalpers selling Jackson memorial tickets online

Full Story at CNN.com

Dozens of listings selling vouchers for Jackson tickets appeared Monday on auction site eBay and Craigslist, the classified ads site, prompting complaints from Jackson fans and others who felt the sales were inappropriate.

“You people trying to sell these tickets should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves,” said a Craigslist user in a post Monday morning. “Please flag all of these money-grabbing opportunists…if you’re a true MJ fan you won’t give money to these parasites.”

Organizers of the public memorial service, scheduled for Tuesday morning at the Staples Center arena in downtown Los Angeles, made 8,750 pairs of tickets available through an online lottery. But demand far outstripped supply, as about 1.6 million fans registered for a chance at the tickets.
