San Juan Islander: Larsen invites constituents to attend the 2017 Presidential Inauguration

Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) is inviting his constituents to apply for tickets to attend the 2017 Presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C.

“The Presidential inauguration is an unforgettable and historic event,” said Larsen, “and I am thrilled to have an opportunity to share the experience with folks back home in Washington state. For folks who cannot attend in person, I invite you to follow along on my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.” Interested individuals should email Larsen.Tickets@mail.house.gov by 5:00 p.m. PST on November 25th, 2016 with the following information:

· First and last name.

· Email, phone number and mailing address.

· Number of tickets requested.

Larsen’s office will distribute a limited number of tickets which, based on demand, may be allocated through a lottery system. Applicants can expect to receive a response from Larsen’s office in early December. Tickets will permit entry to the inauguration only (not any related receptions, balls etc.) and will not cover any expenses (travel, lodging, etc.).

While many websites and ticket vendors may claim to have inauguration tickets, constituents should note that tickets to the inauguration are free and are available through Congressional offices only.
