Constituents without tickets can still attend inaugural events on National Mall

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) has allocated all of the tickets that her office will receive from the official Inaugural Committee.  Those who are receiving tickets must pick them up in Foxx’s Washington, DC office in Room 1230 of the Longworth House Office Building on Monday, January 19th between 9am and 5pm.  

“Presidential Inaugurations are historic events,” Foxx said. “It is an honor to be able to serve constituents by distributing tickets to the Inaugural ceremony and I hope that those who did not get tickets are still able to visit Washington on January 20th and participate in the events on the National Mall.”

Individuals who will receive tickets were chosen in a random drawing.  The results of the random drawing for Inaugural Tickets were announced live on WSJS radio in mid-December.  All winners have been notified already.  Photo identification will be required at pick-up on January 19th and the name on the photo ID must match the name of the contact person before tickets will be released.

Anyone who did not receive a ticket from a Congressional office is still welcome to attend the Inauguration and should plan to be on the National Mall early in the morning on Inauguration day.  Also, anyone from North Carolina’s Fifth Congressional District is welcome to stop by Rep. Foxx’s DC office on Monday, January 19 where Foxx’s staff will be on hand to answer any questions.

Note: The Inauguration’s ticketed area will hold approximately 240,000 people and will be situated on the West Capitol grounds.  Those with tickets should arrive early to ensure timely processing through security.  Please read the Inaugural Committee’s official web site for more details on schedule, security, and prohibited items.
