Pope trip: Arch of NY has 5,000 tickets to see Pope on 5th Ave.

update: how typical - barely had the news gone out, and all the tickets are gone. popular pope!

Associated Press:

The Archdiocese of New York says it has 5,000 tickets available to see Pope Benedict XVI on Fifth Avenue before he enters St. Patrick's Cathedral to celebrate Mass later this month.

The tickets are good only for the pope's welcome rally on April 19 outside the landmark cathedral.

Tickets can be obtained by filling out a form online at www.archny.org/papalvisit. They will be mailed out on Monday.

On the day of the event, those with tickets will have to enter at Sixth Avenue and 49th Street through security checkpoints, from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. The pope is scheduled to arrive around 9 a.m.

The Mass will be televised on a huge screen in front of the cathedral.

I think the archdiocese's website is getting heavy traffic right now. Popular Pope.
