For A Mere 50k You can you get a 4-day inauguration trip

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

“The inauguration committee of President-elect Barack Obama, who ran on a platform to change the way business is done in Washington, is selling four-day packages of four tickets to his historic swearing-in ceremony and parade plus some extras in exchange for $50,000.

The deal does represent a change. President Bush charged $250,000, selling his supporters a much bigger menu of inaugural goodies that featured candlelight dinners.

On Friday, members of the Obama National Finance Committee were spreading the word about their package to friends and associates around the country.”

People Dont Care About not having Tickets for Obama Inauguration

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Apparently thanks to this article here by  USA TODAY, people dont give a shit about not having tickets to obamas inauguration. Its funny but i think people just want to be around the event. TO know that they were there when change happened. Heres the quote.

“Thousands of people with no inauguration tickets and little hope of finding any are chartering buses, planning road trips and scrambling for flights to Washington because they are determined to witness the beginning of Barack Obama’s presidency.

“One way or another, we’re going to be there,” says Earl Heard, 56, of Gadsden, Ala. His wife, Anna, booked a hotel before the election, he says, but odds they’ll find tickets are “slim to none.”"

Well if you dont have enough money, you can also watch the practise ceremony which shouldnt change much.

“Can’t get tickets to the inauguration? No hotel rooms to be had that week? No problem, people. Avoid the crowds and the traffic and the expense, and check out the inaugural rehearsal.

It’s scheduled for Jan. 11, and you can watch the whole thing twice that day.

Few of the VIPs will be present — they are portrayed by stand-ins wearing name placards — and there won’t be an inaugural address, but you can’t have it all.”

Theres nothing that can change watching the ceremony on january 20.
