56th Presidential Inauguration Information
Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States
January 20, 2009 will be a historic day for our nation. As you may know, tickets to the Swearing-In Ceremony of the 44th President are available free to the public through congressional offices.
Due to the overwhelming number of requests already received, my office is no longer able to take requests for tickets to the Swearing-In Ceremony.
Notification by my office will be made in late December or early January, and individuals receiving tickets will be given specific instructions at that time on how to collect them.
BUYER BEWARE: There are websites claiming to sell tickets to the Swearing-In Ceremony. These are fraudulent claims, and I want to strongly caution against purchasing such false tickets. Do not purchase "tickets" over the internet.
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies is responsible for all inaugural events at the U.S. Capitol. Their website, http://www.inaugural.senate.gov provides useful information about the Swearing-In Ceremony and other events at the Capitol.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) will be responsible for planning and executing activities during the Inauguration, including the galas, balls, and the inaugural parade. As soon as President-elect Obama establishes this committee, we will post the link for you.
