Will the Armageddon match be open to the public? What is the structure of it?

The Armageddon game is a blitz match, with White needing to win, Black needing only to draw. To determine colors, both players make a bid of how much time disadvantage they are willing to accept, and the winning bidder (the person willing to give up the most disadvantage) gets to choose colors.
