King Announces Presidential Inauguration Ticket Request Guidelines
|
|
|
Washington, D.C.—Congressman King today released the following guidelines for constituents seeking inauguration tickets:
The presidential inauguration will be held on January 20, 2009. The number of tickets available is limited. All requests must be submitted to Congressman King’s Washington office by Friday, November 28.
Recipients will be notified as soon as possible in December. All tickets must be picked up from Congressman King’s Washington, D.C. office in person with valid photo identification. Group representatives will not be allowed to pick up multiple tickets.
Ticket requests may be made by calling Congressman Steve King’s Washington office at (202)225-4426. The name, address, cell phone number and email address of each person is required to place a request. Most of the tickets available are for standing room on the Capitol Grounds. If a seated ticket is needed, please provide the reason. Very few seated tickets are available.
A few helpful hints: Security procedures require children capable of walking to have a ticket; strollers will not be permitted. Gates on the Capitol grounds officially open at 9:00 a.m. on Inauguration Day. As in the past, the area of the National Mall west of 4th Street will not require a ticket. However, due to the interest in the presidential inauguration, this area is expected to reach capacity quickly.
