Clementine Chapel mass- anyone been? How to get in.

In my highly technical and qualified research (Google, haha)...I haven't seen a ton of recent information on Clementine Chapel. Most everything is pre-Covid.

With seating being limited, I am wondering if you have to request tickets for attendance? Or is there a lottery? Or perhaps another way of assigning tickets? Now, I think previously masses in the Clementine Chapel were at 7 am, so that may stave off some of the crowds. The most recent article I read explained how to get to the Clementine Chapel and didn't mention anything about needing a reservation or tickets or anything.

I came here, but unfortunately, there weren't a lot of Clementine Chapel posts, and the most recent were 6-7 years ago.

Has anyone done a 7am mass at the Clementine Chapel recently? Is it still happening? Is it possible for the public to go?

I haven't done this (not a Catholic) but here's a fairly recent (2022) bit of film from someone who has. It's the first part of "Where can you attend the TLM in Rome."

Additionally, you could email /messageThe Catholic Traveler and see what, if any, advice he might have?

Thanks! I am familiar with The Catholic Traveler, but it never even occurred to me to reach out to him. I will have to do that!

The video link you provided is also very helpful. It seems to confirm the same kinds of things I had been reading at least, and with it being from 2022, I would be surprised if anything had changed drastically since then. He does specifically mention that the mass is on weekdays, which I would want to clarify. Other sources mention a Sunday mass we well.

But, it certainly doesn't seem like there are any pre-requisites or tickets or anything required, from what I can tell.
