Papal Mass in Brussels sells out in 90 minutes

The Papal Mass in Brussels has generated significant interest, leading to a rapid sell-out of tickets on Ticketmaster within 90 minutes. The event organizers have noted a high demand from parishes, church groups, and individuals, resulting in a shortage of available spots. To manage this overwhelming interest, the organizing committee has prioritized larger groups, particularly those traveling by bus, and has set up additional screens to accommodate around 1,000 extra attendees. In response to the high demand, the organizers have limited ticket requests from groups to a maximum of 50, which has disappointed some who sought larger allocations. A significant portion of the tickets has been reserved for individuals with mobility issues and young people under 30 attending the Hope Happening youth festival, with 7,500 spots specifically set aside for them. The event is expected to attract attendees not only from Brussels but also from neighboring regions, including Northern France, the Netherlands, and Germany. Parishes unable to secure tickets for the stadium will have the option to broadcast the event on large screens within their churches, ensuring that the celebration reaches a wider audience. The Eucharist celebration will also be broadcast worldwide, allowing those unable to attend in person to participate in this significant religious event. The organizers are committed to accommodating as many attendees as possible while ensuring a smooth experience for all involved.
