 Inaugural Tickets

November 10th, 2008 by Webmaster

First, don’t fall for internet scams. No one has tickets to sell yet.

For info about the inauguration please visit Change.gov

Tickets to the Inaugural ceremony are distributed to members of congress, who then distribute them to their constituents.

Statement issued by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies:

The public should also be aware that no website or other ticket outlet actually has inaugural swearing-in tickets to sell, regardless of what they may claim. Tickets will not be distributed to Congressional offices until the week before the inauguration and will require in-person pick-up.

“Any website or ticket broker claiming that they have inaugural tickets is simply not telling the truth,” said Howard Gantman, Staff Director for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. “Tickets for the swearing-in of President-elect are all provided through members of Congress, and the President-elect and Vice President-elect through the Presidential Inaugural Committee. We urge the public to view any offers of tickets for sale with great skepticism.”

Members in the majority party receive more tickets then those in the minority. Although allotments have not been decided it is likely locally each office will receive approximately 150 tickets.
