Well, it ain’t me 😦 I’ve had a few comments on this blog over the last few days (as well as emails thru my Contact Me page) regarding tickets for the Obama inauguration. Folks, I don’t have an inside track on getting tickets. According to this article, you need to contact your Congressional Representative. (Don’t know who your Congress critter is? Check out the link on My Representatives page.)
I do have a question, though, and hopefully, someone out there knows the answer. For those of us in the 2nd, 5th and 11th CDs, do we contact our new representatives (who haven’t been sworn in yet) or the old ones?
UPDATE 7:14pm: promoted from the comments:
The State party has informed us that you can sign up for inaugural updates on the following: http://www.vademocrats.org/page/s/obaminauguration

Also:
Speaker Pelosi’s website says to get the tickets will be distributed through members of the 111th Congress.
And please – don’t email me.

I been told it’s the member of the 111th Congress, so that would be our new representative, but I haven’t been able to track down any official word on that.

I just called my representative’s office and they directed me to the website to get on the waiting list. But, we are suppose to be able to contact our senator, as well. I can’t find anything on Warner’s site.
Hi, I would like TWO ticke . . .
oh, right.
Moran’s site is collecting names for a list, but I suspect the chances are slim. This inauguration will be unlike anything we’ve seen, I think. I have no idea how DC will fit everyone who wants to be there. Maybe loop it out around RFK stadium, over onto Independence, and then Penn. And maybe that will be enough so everyone can get a look and a wave.
I’ll let two people sleep in my living room for $150/piece and provide passes for the mall.
As soon as I finish the Craigslist ad, I’ll post the link.
…I’m only half kidding.

Actually, names are being taken for a possible list from Senator Webb at;
tickets_webb@webb.senate.gov
The other contact provided is not recommended for tickets. These tickers are for the searing in only and not any of the other activities. A good source of information is;
