How to get Liberty Medal tickets honoring Muhammad Ali

Posted: July 25, 2012

Free tickets to the 2012 Liberty Medal ceremony honoring boxing legend Muhammad Ali will be made available to the public on August 14.

Ali, 70, whose movement and speech have been slowed by Parkinson's disease, will attend the formal award ceremony. Because he is not physically able to deliver an acceptance speech, his wife, Yolanda, will speak in his stead.

The ceremony will take place Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. on the front lawn at the National Constitution Center.

About 250 tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will go on rain or shine.

The tickets, limited to two per household, are free, but a small service fee may apply. They will not be available online. Call Ticketmaster at 866-492-6326 to order.

The Liberty Medal is annually awarded to men, women, and organizations that courageously strive to secure liberty for people around the globe.
