Tickets still available for the Presidential inauguration ceremony

But wait, here is the official version of how the tickets are distributed.....There's actually an office in D.C. that does nothing but prepare for inaugural events. It's called the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. It's the office in charge of tickets for the swearing-in. And it's busy."There's tremendous interest. Our phones have been ringing off the hook," says Carole Florman, the office's spokeswoman. She says her office printed 240,000 inauguration tickets. They're stored away in a locked office. The week before the inauguration, her office will distribute them to Senators and Congressional representatives. And those are the people who actually hand out the tickets.

So, what I want to know is, how is GoTickets.com so sure they can get tickets for the event, yet alone take advance money for them? Do they have Senators and Representatives in the bag? This is just plain wrong, folks.

What on earth will be next, the swearing in ceremony only televised on pay per view?
