U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan is offering residents of Minnesota's 8th Congressional District the chance to receive a pair of tickets to watch a live broadcast of Pope Francis' address to Congress next month.

The tickets will be to watch the address on video screens on the West Lawn of the Capitol in Washington on Sept. 24. Members of Congress were allotted tickets for the event, and Nolan is raffling off his 50 tickets in pairs. The free tickets are standing room only, and an unobstructed view is not guaranteed, Nolan's office said.

To enter, interested 8th District residents need to visit Nolan's website: nolan.house.gov/services/enter-to-receive-pope-tickets.

The deadline to enter is Friday. Twenty-five winners will receive a pair of tickets and will be notified after the winners are picked on Monday. Travel and accommodations in Washington will be at the ticket winners' expense, and tickets cannot be resold.
