Dozens of El Pasoans are heading to Los Angeles hoping to catch a glimpse of Michael Jackson's Memorial Service.

Ceaser Torrez began organizing the trip last week. Passengers on the chartered bus will make the long 13- hour trip to the Staples Center

Law enforcement in California says fans who don't have tickets won't be able to get within a mile of the memorial. But that's not stopping these fans from going. They say it's about the experience.

But, out of the 35 passengers who signed up for the bus ride, only of them was lucky enough to get a chance to attend the memorial.

After the date for Jackson's memorial was announced millions of people rushed to get their hands on a ticket to the event. But only a few were selected through a random lottery. Yvonne Ramirez from El Paso was one of them.
