Those wishing to mourn the deaths of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna can now enter a lottery to purchase tickets to their public memorial, which will be held Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. PT.
From now through Monday night, fans can go to the Ticketmaster website to enter the ticket lottery. On Tuesday, Ticketmaster will notify winners of the lottery on how to purchase tickets.
Tickets will be priced at $224 each, 2 for $224 and $24.02 each, in honor of Kobe's No. 24 jersey and Gianna's No. 2 jersey.
Seating will be limited to 20,000 spectators, and the Staples Center is telling fans without tickets not to come to the Staples Center site and adjacent streets as they will be off limits.
Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Mamba and Mambacita Foundation, the Staples Center said.
