Tickets cannot be mailed must be picked up in person and the individual picking up the tickets must be able to present identification.

Our office will not receive tickets until Friday, January 16th.

Any tickets not picked up by 9:00 am on January 20th will be forfeited.

Due to the high interest in this inauguration, we are unable to provide more than four tickets to an individual.

We do not yet know how many tickets our office will receive and we may not be able to accomodate everyone who wishes to attend.

The weather in January in Washington, DC is typically very cold and wet and visitors are encouraged to dress accordingly. Because of the large crowds that are expected, guests will probably be outside in the cold for at least three hours.

For more information on other Inaugural events, please visit the official site of the 2009 Presidential Inauguration.

Our office is not able to provide tickets to Inaugural Balls or other Inauguration events.
