He’s in demand.
Pope Francis is scheduled to appear in the Phoenix Park in Dublin on 26 August.
500,000 free tickets were made available for those who wanted to see him, and they have now officially sold out.
That’s half a million tickets!
The World Meeting of Families 2018 confirmed on Sunday that there are no more tickets available for the event.
He is also visiting Knock as part of his trip, but that’s a ticket-only event too.
Tickets to see the Pope in Knock sold out weeks ago, with only 45,000 being made available for that particular event.
