At this time, my office is not able to take any more requests for tickets to the Inaugural Swearing-In Ceremony on January 20, 2009. My office will only be getting 198 tickets to distribute to constituents, and we have already received over 3,000 requests. We apologize that we will not be able to accommodate your ticket request, but we encourage you to contact Senators Nelson and Martinez, who also have an allotment of Inaugural tickets.
All Inauguration tickets are free and only available from Members of Congress. The public should 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 even be distributed to Congressional offices until the week before the Inauguration. Also, all tickets are outside, standing-room only.
There will be an unticketed, standing room area west of 4th Street on the Mall for the general public. This area is quite far from the Swearing-In Ceremony, and the Inaugural Committee is still deciding whether it will be possible to install big screen TVs to make this a better viewing area. There will also be an Inaugural Parade that will be free and open to the public. We do not have all of the details on the parade yet, but we will update this page as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your interest in coming to D.C. to share in this momentous occasion.
