The organizers of the memorial service have asked fans to stay away from the memorial venue if they could not get a ticket. They have clearly stated that the ceremony will be broadcasted on screens at the Staples Center. Therefore, there is no need to go to the area if you do not have a ticket or a pass. The Staples Center President, Lee Zeidman, talked to reporters outside the venue:

We hope that everybody heeds the message and they stay either in their offices, surrounded by their friends or at home with their family or loved ones, because it’s going to be a very emotional memorial for that day and we want people to be able to enjoy it.

The authorities and the organizers have stressed that the ceremony will not be broadcasted on the outdoor screens. Not even in adjacent LA Live Plaza.

if you don’t have tickets and credentials, you will not be allowed into this venue. … The point there is, do not impact the rest of the Los Angeles downtown community by trying to come here and be part of something that you’ll not be a part of.
