Michael Jackson tickets draw 500 million visitors

The announcement was made today that those wishing to attend the memorial for Michale Jackson on Tuesday July 7, 2009  at the Staples Center would receive free tickets.  The catch is you have to win them in an online lottery at the Staples Center website.  Sounds easy enough except for the fact the website was been overwhelmed with over 500 million visits.  The family and site has released a statement saying that it is setup to prevent duplicate registrations, but you know with that kind of traffic people that do win entry will be selling them on Craigslist for thousands.
