The Presidential Inauguration is months away, but already making headlines. If you are planning on making the trip to DC, it’s going to cost an arm and leg (and maybe your house). Tickets, which have not even been distributed yet, are going for thousands of dollars!
Residents of Georgetown and DC have their houses up for rent on craigslist for the week of the big event, for a whopping 50 THOUSAND dollars! That’s for a week!
Thank goodness someone has some sanity and is trying to put an end to this madness. A proposed ban would make it illegal to scalp these tickets. Ebay has taken down all adds for the tickets, lets hope others jump on board.

Apparently, hotel rooms are filling up here in Salisbury! You have to admit, that is pretty cool. I plan on heading up there to be a part of the chaos.
ReplyDeleteIf the numbers predicted come any where near being true the subway system Washington in is going to be very, very busy.
ReplyDeleteBoarding that day may end up exceeding to projected daily volume for 1990 made for the system to promote it's building back in 1969.
For those that might be interested that number has never been anywhere close to being reached. The projected daily volume for 1990 made in 1969 was 2,857,924.

The highest daily volume ever recorded was 850,636 for the Ronald Reagan funeral. Average daily volume is in the neighborhood 750,000.
