On Feb. 24 at Staples Center, the Los Angeles Lakers will host a Celebration of Life for Kobe and Gianna Bryant. Kobe and Gianna passed away along with seven others in a tragic helicopter crash on Jan. 26:

The demand for tickets to the Feb. 24 memorial service celebrating the lives of Kobe and Gianna Bryant far exceeds the number of available seats.

More than 90,000 people registered for tickets in the first 24 hours, a source with knowledge of the situation told Yahoo Sports on Saturday. Capacity at Staples Center is approximately 20,000, and many of those seats are expected to be reserved for Kobe’s friends and family, NBA luminaries and other invited guests.

Starting on Friday and running through Feb. 17, Lakers fans may register to purchase tickets at https://verifiedfan.ticketmaster.com/kobeandgianna. No purchase is necessary to register. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation.

On Feb. 19, tickets will be released for public sale. Fans with personal access codes will have access to purchase available tickets. Tickets will be priced at $224 each, two for $224 and $24.02 each.

The Celebration of Life for Kobe and Gianna Bryant will not be shown on any video screens or by any other means outside of Staples Center, including the L.A. Live video screens. There will also not be any overflow locations for members of the public to view the event, which will be shown live on most local Los Angeles television stations.

In the immediate aftermath of the helicopter crash, mourning fans created a Bryant memorial outside Staples Center. Every item that was left at the memorial came with a handwritten note. It’s evident the passing of Bryant is going to take a long time to get over. Lakers players were very emotional against the Portland Trail Blazers at Staples Center during their tribute to Bryant, and this event on Feb. 24 will be similar. There won’t be a dry eye in the house.
