The upcoming Adirei HaTorah maamad at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia has officially sold out�in just three days�setting a new record for the much-anticipated event celebrating the kavod haTorah and the dedication of bnei Torah. By comparison, last year�s event, which drew a crowd of over 30,000, took 12 days to sell out.
Organizers said on Sunday evening that while the main seating is completely booked, a few hundred obstructed-view seats still remain available for those hoping to attend.
The highlight of this year�s Maamad will be a keynote address from Harav Ezriel Auerbach shlit�a, one of the most revered poskim in Eretz Yisroel. A son of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt�l and a son-in-law of Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv zt�l, Rav Ezriel shlit�a serves as the Rav of Kehillas Chanichei HaYeshivos in Bayit Vegan.
Following the petirah of his brother, Rav Shmuel Auerbach zt�l, and Rav Asher Deutsch zt�l, Rav Ezriel has emerged as a guiding force for thousands of talmidei chachamim and yungeleit worldwide, offering his daas Torah and leadership to a new generation of bnei Torah.

We would like to know how many tickets were SOLD for $360 (or $150) and how many tickets were GIVEN out to kollel yungeleit and bochrim
The bochurim and yungeleit are the guests of honor which they earned by sitting and learning all day . Would be tacky to charge them to attend.
