SPRINGFIELD - All available tickets to see Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak May 1 at the MassMutual Center in an event organized by the Springfield Public Forum have been claimed.

The tickets were free, but limited to about 1,200 because Wozniak's appearance was organized quickly and Springfield Symphony hall was not available. Organizers decided to host the event in the ballroom at the MassMutual Center.

Those still interested in attending can still get themselves on a waiting list through the Public Forum's website here. If seats become available, they will be contacted , said Michelle Morash, executive director of the Springfield Public Forum.

Wozniak, recognized as an inventor of the personal computer from his work at Apple, speaks about innovation, technology and the future. He won't give a speech, but instead will be on stage being interviewed by a moderator.

MassMutual is the lead sponsor with other sponsors including The Markens Group, Wilbraham & Monson Academy and Paragus Strategic I.T. MassLive is the media sponsor for the event.
