According to Hudson Valley News Network Governor Andrew Cuomo warned New Yorkers of scams that are trying to sell tickets to see the Catholic leader.

“We are proud to welcome Pope Francis to New York and I urge those interested in attending his events to obtain tickets only through the verified Catholic parishes,” Governor Cuomo said. “Anyone attempting to sell tickets is a scam artist and should be avoided at all costs. Making certain that you receive valid tickets will ensure that this event remains joyous and festive for all.”
