Online registration started Friday for the Feb. 24 public memorial for Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna.
The Lakers say anyone who wants to buy tickets must register online with ticketmaster before 10 p.m. Monday night, and tickets will officially go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19.
Kobe and Gianna died in a helicopter crash in the hills around Calabasas last month along with seven other individuals.
Tickets for the memorial will range from $224 to $24.02. The prices reflect Kobe and Gianna's jersey numbers. All proceeds from the ticket sales will go to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation.
The Lakers say the ceremony will not be shown on any screens outside Staples Center or in L.A. Live.
