Jenni Rivera Funeral: Memorial Service Tickets Sold Out in Minutes; Brother to Lead 'Celestial Graduation' Ceremony

Fans will have their last chance to say goodbye to 'La Diva de La Banda' today.

Singer Jenni Rivera's funeral will take place this morning in Los Angeles, California.

Last week, the Rivera family confirmed there will be a funeral service for the public and it will take place at the Gibson Amphitheatre at the Universal CityWalk from 10 a.m. PST to 12 p.m. PST.

The location is also important as Rivera was set to perform at the amphitheater in March 2013. It has since been canceled.

"We will celebrate the graduation into heaven, with honors, of our beloved mother, daughter and sister Jenni Rivera," the family said in a statement as the memorial will be called a "Celestial Graduation."

In order to attend the service, tickets went on sale through Ticketmaster on Tuesday for $1. The tickets sold out within the hour.

According to Ticketmaster, the reason tickets were sold online rather than at a ticket booth was too avoid scalpers. People who purchased a ticket will have to provide identification and the credit card used for the transaction.

Members of the media will not be allowed in the amphitheater, however, a live broadcast will be provided to the public.

Pedro Rivera Jr., the singer's brother, will lead the ceremony.

Rivera died along with six others on the morning of Dec. 9 as the plane departed from Monterrey, Mexico at 3:30 a.m. (local time) on her way to Toluca de Lerdo, west of Mexico City. The plane was reported missing about 10 minutes after liftoff. Rivera was set to arrive in Toluca to attend the Mexican edition of The Voice that night, where she serves as one of the four judges. Rivera served as a mentor to an inspiring singer on the show, who was announced as the winner a week after Rivera's death.

The plane company is currently under investigation, notably executive Ed Nunez by the US Drug Enforcement Administration, claiming ties to a Tijuana cartel. Click here for more information on the plane company, Nunez, and previous troubles.
