Diocese representatives said they are getting 400-500 tickets for the event, and they will draw names until the spots are filled.
Anyone who wanted to enter the random drawing had to send in an envelope with their information.
Evangelist Editor James Breig said, "The people are eager to see the new Pope. We wondered about the previous Pope being around for so long and so popular, would they want to see the new Pope, and it turns out that they do."
The Diocese must give all final names to the Secret Service by February 1st.
