ANSWERS TO LIFE'S BIG QUESTIONS
Question: We'd love to go to the Presidential Inauguration in Washington. Can we get tickets?
Answer: To be close to the inauguration you must have a ticket. The tickets are distributed to the public by your Members of Congress and the Senate. Each Member has a limited number. If you go online you can request them from the Congressman in your District, or from one of the two Maryland Senators. Yes, regardless of party affiliation they will usually give constituents tickets until they run out.
Montgomery County is covered by
- Senator Chris Van Hollen
- CD 8: Congressman Jamie Raskin
- CD 6: Congressman David Trone
- CD 4: Congressman Glenn Ivey
Question: Can I go to the Inauguration without a ticket?
Answer: Yes, there is general admission, it is standing room only and far behind the seating and standing area farther back. Take public transportation, arrive early and go through the security checkpoints.
Question: Does the MCGOP have tickets?
Answer: No, it's a federal government event. However there are various Inaugural Balls during the evenings around the event that are open to the public for a fee, check the internet. Finally the Inaugural parade is free to the public in most areas of the route. Again, take public transportation, arrive early and go through security checkpoints. You're free to check on the Web and see if anyone who has tickets will sell them, but remember, buyer beware.
