The memorial service was organized by Jackson's concert promoter, AEG Live, who gave away 17,500 free tickets to fans worldwide through an online lottery that attracted over 1.2 million applicants in 24 hours, and over a half-billion hits to the webpage. An estimated 750,000 up to a million fans were expected to congregate outside Staples Center but due to California's $530 million budget crisis, city and police officials urged fans to stay home. Street and highway exits around the Staples Center were sealed off, and 3,000 officers, the largest security effort planned since the 1984 Olympics, were on duty at a cost of $1.4 million to the city. The motorcade for Jackson's casket was headed by two police motorcycle outriders, and the LA freeways were closed for the journey of approximately 11 miles from Forest Lawn to the Staples Center.
The service was broadcast live around the world. The U.S. viewership was extremely high taking into consideration that the service was unusually held on a workday and a host of people reported watching the service during work.
