For some reason $25 seems a little high to me. I understand there are expenses involved but if their estimates of 750,000 in attendance are accurate that's over $18 million! LAPD doesn't cost that much.

I hope that those who cannot attend the memorial, or who are looking to honor Michael in their own way, hear the calls of several groups encouraging donations to Michael Jackson's favorite charities in honor of his death. One group, The Man in the Mirror Project (www.maninthemirrorproject) is encouraging all fans to make donations to remember Michael but also calling on his London tour ticketholders to donate their refunds to these charities. Imagine the impact that would make! Approximately $85 million in tickets were sold!
