How can I get tickets to the inauguration?

I know you are supposed to get them through your senator/ congressman, but are there any tricks to improving my odds?

1. You are correct

Be nice and act quickly. However, you might just consider going. In 09 those with tickets had serious problems and some missed the event. I went without a ticket and it was wonderful. Bigger issue is, get a place to stay early.

Of if Rmoney steals it you can probably get close as the police cordon will let you, since no body will want to go. The rich will stick to their guarded parties, like during W's inaugurations.

2. If Romney wins, I'm staying home

No interest in being anywhere near that.

3. Don't worry about a ticket.

The trick is getting into the mall, period. Once you get in, you will just need to stand wherever you land. If it's anything like 2009. Maybe they will have that worked out better this time.

4. Money talks

Citizens walk. How much you willing to pay for them? Attending more then 1 $40k+ fund raiser dinner to whichever party wins will go in your favor, otherwise line up like the rest of the grunts.

5. I didn't have a ticket to the inauguration and I was there freezing my heiney off.

6. I got an invitation to the last one.

No idea why. It just came in the mail. I assumed it was because of donations but don't really know. Couldn't go but loved getting it.

7. Don't know if my hundred bucks will matter

But I did donate.
