Usually ticketts for Vatican events are given out on the day before on a specific day/time before the event. So you might want to check into when that will happen.

Also, remember that as it stands right now on Sunday, August 21 2005 the Pope is expected to be in Cologne, Germany for World Youth Day. This obviously is an opportunity for him to go back home and visit the places that mean something to him. Another words he may not even be in Rome on the Wednesday. If I was you I'd wait to see what announcements will come from the Vatican over the next months if you're really set on seeing the new Pope... OR you can make your plans flexible enough to make sure you can see him when he is there.
Hope that helps.

LOL! In that case all you can do is wait and see if he'll be in Rome or not - hope it works out for you.
