Michael Jackson’s funeral date and time has been set for next Tuesday, July 7, 10 A.M. at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.

Showbiz411.com is reporting that Staples Center and Nokia Theater, as well as the surrounding area, will be used for the services, which are expected to have an insane turnout, of course.

Radar.com claims that fans will be able to purchase a ticket for $25 that will allow them to sit in the stands. For those who don’t make it in, there will be huge outdoor screens showing the service inside.

Omg, think about what a circus this is going to be. Seriously. People are going to want in. And I’m betting there are going to be FAR more people than anyone expects!

Speaking of circus, the circus is in town the following day. Really. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus has Staples Center booked for the following day. Apparently they had to be talked into postponing their set up. They might want to consider postponing the show by at least a day or canceling. I mean, people will be coming from all over the world. They are going to linger!

We’ll see if this all pans out or not. I’m just glad to hear they aren’t doing an open casket. I thought it odd at first when I heard they may do that. It would definitely make the funeral a circus sideshow act..with lots of snuck in cameras.

It’s going to be interesting for sure. Have fun with all that congestion, L.A., it’s going to be crazy.
