The office of the UAE Papal Visit has warned the faithful not to buy or accept tickets from unauthorised sources for Pope Francis' highly anticipated Mass at the Zayed Sports City in Abu Dhabi in February.
Only 120,000 people will have access to the stadium to attend the Holy Mass while others will have to watch it live-streamed from all the Catholic churches in the UAE, the office said on its official website (www.uaepapalvisit.org).
"The faithful are requested to be on their guard against anyone offering tickets for sale or offering tickets through unauthorised channels," read the website giving out details of Pope Francis' historic visit - the first ever official trip of a Catholic pope to the region.
The three-day visit starting on February 3 will also see the pontiff attending an inter-religious meeting in Abu Dhabi.
According to the website, the only official channels for ticket distribution are parishes under the Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia (Avosa) and Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia (Avona).
"The venue for the celebration of the Papal Mass is the Zayed Sports City, Abu Dhabi. The capacity of the venue (inside the stadium and outside locations within Zayed Sports City which is offered by the government for the Papal Mass) is approximately 120,000. Tickets will be limited to this number," said the office.
Reminders on securing a slot in the Papal Mass> Tickets are free of charge but limited in number > Expected to be available in parishes around January 20 > Parishes will be distributing tickets by community, ministry, movements, etc. > Check websites of UAE Papal Visit, the vicariate and parishes for updates |
