"I'm the greatest thing that ever lived! I'm the king of the world! I'm a bad man. I'm the prettiest thing that ever lived." This might be one of the most famous quotes to ever come out of the mouth of the greatest boxer of all-time, Muhammed Ali.
Ali, 74, passed away this past weekend and his memorial will be held this Friday in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
Tickets to the memorial were made available Wednesday at 8:15 a.m.
The box office was originally supposed to open at 10am It opened at 8:15am and all the tickets were gone in an hour. pic.twitter.com/NbjKVAczru

Craigslist already has people trying to buy tickets. According to BustedCoverage.com the website is taking down postings as fast as they can.
People are offering to pay $100 for the free tickets.

The website is also full of people trying to get a glimpse of the memorial. Does it surprise you that people would pay for these?
