Boston Catholics - Get your tickets to see Pope Benedict in NYC!

Bettnet drops us the tip:

If you’re a Catholic living in the Archdiocese of Boston and you want to attend the papal Mass in Yankee Stadium on April 20, you’re in luck. The Archdiocese has been allocated 3,000 tickets and you can put your name in the lottery by going to the Archdiocese’s Bicentennial web site and signing up.

Demand is expected to outstrip supply so make sure to get your name in. Tickets are free, but non-transferable (you won’t see them on eBay) and there is fee for transportation as well.

NOTE: "All requests for tickets must be received by February 11, 2008 at 5:00pm."

He adds more details:

Obviously Baltimore will get tickets to events in Washington, DC, but Boston, Philadelphia, and Lousville, Kentucky, will get tickets for New York.

Okay, now you know. I'll be posting later this week with more details on how to get tickets to see the Pope, so check back, and in the meantime, peruse the archives.
