NEW YORK (CBS) ― Admission to the pope's Mass next year at Yankees Stadium won't come at major league prices: Tickets are free.

The Archdiocese of New York says it plans to distribute the tickets through its parishes, though it has yet to decide when to begin handing them out.

Diocesan spokesman Joseph Zwilling says tickets will also be available to worshippers coming from elsewhere.

The Vatican announced Monday that Pope Benedict XVI would travel to the United States for the first time as pontiff next year to meet with President Bush, address the United Nations and visit ground zero and Yankee Stadium.
