You don’t need a ticket to stand on the sidewalk and watch the Inaugural Parade but if you are interested in some of the bleacher seats you’ve seen being built along the streets of DC your chance to get a ticket is NOW!

The Presidential Inaugural Committee will sell 5,000 tickets for at 1:00 PM EST today. The tickets will be $25 each on Ticketmaster.com or by phone at 202-397-SEAT(7328), 410-547-SEAT(7328) or 703-573-SEAT(7328).  Tickets will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. There will be a limit to four tickets per person.

If you are lucky enough to get tickets you must be in your seats by 1:00 PM on January 20th.

Now we’ve all heard of concert tickets selling out in minutes- how fast do you think these tickets will go? I predict the tickets will be sold out at 1:05 PM today after Ticketmaster crashes at 12:47 PM today.
