10,000 free tickets were made available to the general public today at noon for Pope Francis' appearance and speech in front of Independence Hall on Saturday September 26th. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia said that those tickets were all gone after two minutes and that the site registered 394,000 unique page views in that time frame. The passes will afford holders entry into the secured fenced in areas along Independence Mall for the Pope's address on immigration and religious freedom.

Resale is not sanctioned by the Archdiocese or the WMOF. eBay is removing listings due to their ticket policy. 10,000 tickets to the Festival of Families and 10,000 to the Papal Mass on the Ben Franklin Parkway will become available online Wednesday, September 9th on a first come, first serve basis with a limit of 4.
