Who is going to the convention and how do I get tickets for the big event
THey say he's doing his acceptance speach at one of the big stadiums. I'm trying to figure out how to get my ass out there if it's just for the event and then I sleep in the airport until my flight leaves the next day.

1. Have you tried volunteering?
I worked the Dem convention in Los Angeles in 2000. It was a freaking blast!

2. If I go in, it may just be for the day
and I have volunteered before, this time I'd just like to go to enjoy it!

3. They're doing some kind of drawing, but you have to sign up.
Here's a link -- I don't know if the ticket distribution will be random or based on geographic distribution or what, but you can try:

4. I have a friend in Denver that could pick up tickets
If they make them available at the stadium, He's heard talk of
a 4 ticket max but that is just local rumors he said.

5. I'm going, but I'm not sure how the tickets are being handed out for Bronco stadium.
The details still have to be worked out, as far as I know.

Evidently the seating for the last night at Bronco stadium is going to be handled differently than the seating for the first 3 days of the convention.
Seating is really hard to come by for the first 3 days of the convention, and as of now, I don't know if those people will automatically get tickets to the Bronco stadium event.
Some insiders and Dem Party contributors are a little upset at the idea that they might be excluded from the event of the last night, but I'm sure they will reserve tickets for them.

6. Do you know any of the DNC members in your state?
They each get a guest pass. Maybe they can help you out.
