The Times is staging a Q&A tonight with David Beckham in front of 250 sports fans who subscribe to the title.
Matthew Syed, the paper's sports feature writer, will ask the questions at the national football museum in Manchester. More subscribers are expected to watch via a live stream feed.
Tickets, which cost £15 each, sold out within hours of the event being announced. The proceeds will go to a charity of Beckham's choosing.
Times readers are being encouraged to submit questions live via Twitter, hashtag #BeckhamLive.
The event kicks off at 7pm, and Syed says he is looking forward to hearing "some new insights and anecdotes" from Beckham.
