PROVO — More free tickets to the Provo City Center Temple open house are available online now at tickets.lds.org.

All of the tickets are for morning and early afternoon tours, but the open house also has a standby option with reasonable lines for people who can't find tickets on the right day or at the right time. Lines are usually shorter in the morning and afternoons. Evening and Saturday lines can be long.

The standby line is across the aisle from the start of the tour line in the parking structure underneath the temple, 192 S. University Ave. A new website, pcct.x10host.com occasionally updates the standby line wait time.

Parking is available in the underground lots at the temple and the Nu Skin building. If they were to become full, traffic guides would direct visitors to other parking within one block of the temple.

More than 180,000 people have visited the new Provo City Center Temple since The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Saints began hosting free tours on Jan. 15, spokeswoman Kristen Howey said.

The church expects more than 630,000 people to tour the temple during the open house, which ends on March 5. The temple will be dedicated on March 20.

Church President Thomas S. Monson announced in October 2011 the decision to use the exterior of the Provo Tabernacle, gutted by fire in December 2010, for the city's second LDS temple.
