WASHIGNTON – The office of U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) today released the following update regarding tickets to President-elect Obama’s inauguration:

Due to the unprecedented demand for tickets to President-elect Obama’s swearing in ceremony, requests for tickets on our website, www.house.gov/degette will close tomorrow, Friday, November 14th, at 7:00PM EST. For those who have requested tickets, there will be a lottery to determine the allocation due to a limited number of tickets.
 
However, Coloradoans interested in attending inauguration activities will not need a ticket to view the swearing in ceremony or parade in January. There will be public viewing sections along the National Mall and parade route in Washington, DC.
