Presidential Inauguration

Thank you for visiting my website to learn more about attending the 57^th Presidential Inauguration in January 2013.

Viewing the Swearing-In Ceremonies from the National Mall does not require tickets. Tickets to view the Swearing-In Ceremonies from designated areas on the West Front lawn of the Capitol are distributed by members of the 113^th Congress at no charge.  At this time, ticket allocations have not been determined. Demand for tickets is high and a limited number will be available through my office.

In order to submit a request to be considered for tickets to the Swearing-In Ceremonies, please send your name, address, and the number of tickets you are requesting to inauguration@durbin.senate.gov. Due to the limited number of tickets that are available, my office will only consider submissions from Illinois residents. If you reside in another state, please contact your home-state Senators and Representatives.
