Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies News Release

Joint Congressional Inaugural Committee Releases Ticketing Information
for 56th Presidential Inauguration November 6, 2008 WASHINGTON, DC - The
Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC) has issued
the following information regarding the availability of tickets for the
56th Presidential Inaugural Ceremony on January 20, 2009:


Tickets to the 56th Inaugural Ceremonies will be provided free of charge
and distributed through Members of the 111th Congress. The Joint
Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies does not provide tickets
to the public. Members of the public interested in attending the
Inaugural Ceremonies should contact their Member of Congress or U.S.
Senators to request tickets.


The public should also be aware that no website or other ticket outlet
actually has inaugural swearing-in tickets to sell, regardless of what
they may claim. Tickets will not be distributed to Congressional offices
until the week before the inauguration and will require in-person
pick-up.


"Any website or ticket broker claiming that they have inaugural tickets
is simply not telling the truth," said Howard Gantman, Staff Director
for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. "Tickets
for the swearing-in of President-elect are all provided through members
of Congress, and the President-elect and Vice President-elect through
the Presidential Inaugural Committee. We urge the public to view any
offers of tickets for sale with great skepticism."


The members of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies
are: Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chairman; Senator Bob Bennett, Ranking
Member of the Senate Rules Committee; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid;
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi; House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer;
and House Republican Leader John Boehner.
