NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM today

tickets to see Pope Francis celebrate mass at Madison Square Garden
during his first visit to the United
States in September.
Pope Francis will visit Washington
DC, New York and
Philadelphia from September
22-27. The Holy Father will celebrate mass at iconic Madison
Square Garden in New York on
September 25 and while tickets to
this and other Papal events are free, they are limited in number
and in very high demand.
SiriusXM's sweepstakes, which will run from August 4 to September 9, will give one subscriber
and a guest the chance to attend the mass at Madison Square Garden
on September 25, and will include
airfare from anywhere in the U.S, plus two nights hotel
accommodations. Subscribers who have been active since
July 21 can go to
