Obama Rally Tickets Come Monday via Email
CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) ―
People with tickets for Barack Obama's election night rally in Grant Park will get their tickets via email by Monday -- and can scrap plans to sell them for big bucks because each one is personalized.
The Democratic National Committee emailed ticket-holders Sunday with details on getting in to the event.
"Your ticket will be emailed to you on Monday, November 3, between 6:00 -- 7:00 p.m.," the email read. "Each ticket is personalized for the ticket holder and is non-transferable."
The official printed ticket is required for entrance to Tuesday night's rally. The email told ticket holders to walk toward Grant Park on Congress Parkway, then south on Columbus Drive to the site. Each printed ticket is valid for the registered ticket holder and one guest.
The election night celebration in Grant Park is for 65,000 spectators, plus 7,500 media members and campaign workers. The event begins in south Grant Park's Hutchison Field at 9 p.m. and will end at 1 a.m., according to the original ticket application.
"For security reasons, do not bring bags. Photo ID is required. Please limit personal items. No signs, banners, chairs or strollers allowed," the email read.
