Inauguration Tickets

All three members of Vermont’s congressional delegation – Senator Leahy, Senator Sanders, and Congressman Welch – will receive the same number of tickets for President-elect Obama’s inauguration as have been made available by inaugural planning committees overseeing past ceremonies.  Nearly all of the tickets are for standing room on the Capitol grounds. 

After trying to accommodate as many Vermonters’ requests for tickets as possible, it has become clear that the unprecedented interest in this inauguration will far outstrip the available tickets.  Senator Leahy, Senator Sanders and Congressman Welch, therefore, have decided to conduct a Vermont lottery for 250 tickets.  The names of Vermonters who already have contacted their offices, or who still wish to, by 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 1, will be entered into the pool, and names will be drawn early that week (after eliminating duplicate requests), and the results will be available on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
