Seats For Sale, Just Kidding!

The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) announced that tickets for the 5,000 bleacher seats would go on sale Friday at 1 p.m. eastern standard/noon central standard at Ticketmaster.com, but apparently the tickets sold out before most people could finish their lunch.

The seats were available for those folks who wanted a chance to actually sit down during the inaugural parade, but it looks like it will be standing room only.

I was checking out other Web sites about the seats and I see that there are some posters who were pretty miffed that they were calling Ticketmaster and either couldn't get through or were told there were no tickets.

Some people seemed to be under the impression that Ticketmaster didn't know it was selling the tickets. I suspect that the tickets sold out so fast, that some folks weren't being told that the tickets were gone.

You don't need a ticket to watch the parade, so no skin off my nose or frost on my behind for that matter. If those bleachers are metal, I'd rather stand. I've spent enough of my life at high school football games to ever want to sit on cold bleacher again.
