Inauguration Ticket Request Form

U.S. Senator Barack Obama will be inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States on January 20, 2009. The ceremony will be held outdoors on the west side of the U.S. Capitol, and Members of Congress will receive a limited number of free tickets for the U.S. Capitol Grounds and a portion of the National Mall. The remainder of the Mall will be open to the public to attend without tickets.

If you are a Maryland resident and would like to be added to the list for tickets, please click here.  A lottery system will be used to disperse up to two tickets per household.  You should know, my office has already received more requests than the number of tickets we anticipate receiving.

Please visit the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies website at www.inaugural.senate.gov.
There you will find tons of information to help you plan your trip to Washington, DC as well as how to access the National Mall on Inauguration Day.  The website also includes 'A New Birth of Freedom', the 2009 Inaugural Theme, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth.  Please also visit the Presidential Inaugural Committee website at www.pic2009.org/content/home to find out how to volunteer at Inaugural events and sign up for email updates about the Inauguration.
