Swedbank stadium 1 NovemberSwedish public television (SVT) owns the rights to film and to broadcast live the Papal Mass at Swedbank stadium on November 1. Videographers and film crew are therefore not allowed to film the mass.
The speeches and homilies by Pope Francis will be translated into all major languages and will be available in the press centers. The speeches and homilies will also be published on the website of the Holy See: www.vatican.va and the website of the Catholic Diocese of Stockholm: www.katolskakyrkan.se
Media that wish to cover the Papal Mass need to present an entrance ticket, together with their accreditation badge. The ticket must be collected at the press centre AF-Borgen in Lund on Sunday 30 October.
