SEPTA papal passes remain for sale

The remaining SEPTA passes for Regional Rail travel during the papal visit will be offered for sale next weekend at the outlying stations where riders will board for travel to Center City.

The initial online sale of passes ended at 3 p.m. Monday, the deadline for payment by winners of SEPTA's electronic lottery.

An undetermined number of passes remain of the 350,000 that SEPTA put up for sale.

In the online lottery last week, SEPTA received requests for 328,045 passes, leaving more than 20,000 available. Additionally, passes not paid for by 3 p.m. Monday were made available for sale, first to unsuccessful lottery applicants online.

Then, any passes not sold online by 11:59 p.m. Thursday will be made available for sale in person at SEPTA rail stations.

The passes will be sold at the 18 stations to be open for travel on Sept. 26 and 27, or, for stations without ticket windows, at the nearest station, SEPTA spokeswoman Jerri Williams said.

SEPTA has changed plans and will not sell passes at Center City stations next weekend, Williams said.

More information about the in-person sales will be available Friday, Williams said.
