Map and Ticket Info for Inaugrual Swearing Ceremonies
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies has released information about the ticket and access plan for inuaguration day events.
The official map http://inaugural.senate.gov/documents/doc-2009-map.pdf of the Capitol Grounds shows the various tickets sections, identifies the colors of the tickets that correspond to each section, and identifies the most convenient Metro Stop for that sections’ entry point.
Tickets for the Inaugural Swearing-in Ceremonies will be released to Members of Congress beginning Monday, Jan. 12, 2009. Each Member’s office is then responsible for distributing their allotment of tickets to their constituents. Members of Congress are no longer taking requests for tickets.

The 240,000 color-coded tickets were printed by the Government Printing Office and contain multiple security features to protect against counterfeiting. Every person attending the Swearing-in Ceremonies on the Capitol Grounds is required to have a ticket, including children (with the exception of infants too young to walk).
Ticketed guests must enter the Capitol Grounds through the entry point designated for their particular section. Because of the large crowds expected to be travelling to the Capitol Grounds and the National Mall, and the numerous street closures and other security measures that will impact travel routes, ticketed guests are advised to make careful plans to ensure they arrive at their designated access point well in advance of the start of the official program.
Security screening gates will open at 8:00 AM, music will begin at 9:00 AM, and the formal program begins at 11:30 AM. Guests not through the screening points by 11:30 AM may not be allowed to enter.
