The 58th Presidential Inauguration

**PLEASE BE ADVISED OUR OFFICE IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW REQUESTS**

Each Congressional office will receive a limited number of tickets to the 58th Presidential Inauguration. The ceremony will be held on Friday, January 20, 2017, on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol. Our office is no longer able to accept requests for tickets and is working to notify everyone who previously submitted a request regarding ticket availability. Due to the incredibly high volume of requests to our office, we are unable to accommodate every request recieved. We apologize for the disappointment this may cause. If you have any questions regarding the status of your request, please contact my DC office at 202-225-2276 or email my staff assistant, Erin McMenamin, at erin.mcmenamin@mail.house.gov

Many parts of the inaugural weekend celebration are free and open to the public, even if you are unable to secure tickets. The National Mall is available to guests without tickets who wish to see the Inauguration Ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. This space is free and open to the public on a first come first serve basis. Please plan to arrive early as space does fill up quickly, and consult the map below for more details about public viewing locations. Please visit the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC) website listed here, http://www.inaugural.senate.gov/58th-inauguration​, for more information about the day's events and how to attend.  

Please note that medical devices such as wheel chairs and walkers are allowed, and individuals in blue vests will be stationed around the Inauguration Ceremonies in case of emergency or if guests need assistance. For your safety and the safety of others, the following items are prohibited from all official inauguration events.
