Swearing-in Tickets

As of December 15, 2012, my office is no longer accepting requests for tickets to the Inauguration. We will be in touch with all constituents who requested tickets shortly to advise them on the status of their request.

Viewing the swearing-in ceremony from the National Mall does not require tickets. The non-ticketed area of the National Mall begins at Fourth Street NW. Please visit the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies website to learn more about the non-ticketed viewing areas: http://www.inaugural.senate.gov/2013/getting-tickets.  

Balls, Galas, Parties and Parade

The President has announced there will be 2 official balls celebrating his inauguration this year: the Commander in Chief’s Ball, open to invited guests only, and the Inaugural Ball, open to some members of the public via an online ticketing process.  Both balls will be held at the Washington Convention Center on Monday, January 21, 2013.  To apply for tickets to the Inaugural Ball, visit: http://action.2013pic.org/page/s/inaugural-ball-public-tickets-signup?source=PIC_home.  Those who sign up for tickets will receive notification by e-mail when tickets become available, along with a link where they can request as many as two tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.  Tickets are expected to cost $60.

Applications to participate in the official Inaugural Day parade are no longer being accepted.
