KNDO/KNDU Tri-Cities, Yakima, WA | Senate Passes Bill On Sale of Inaugural Ceremony Tickets Online
Member Center:
KENNEWICK, Wash.-- On November 17th of last year California Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein, introduced a bill not allowing anyone to buy or sell inaugural tickets.
Since then the bill has passed the Senate. KNDU still found some tickets being sold on Craigslist.
Some are advertised at $1. But beware if you click you can see that they're really going anywhere from $300 to $1,200.
In early November, Ebay announced it would not allow the sale of inaugural tickets on any of their web sites. KNDU checked the web site on Tuesday, and found tickets advertised but if you click on the link no results came up.
KNDU asked staff at Senator Maria Cantwell's office for some advice on fraud. They say all seated tickets are color coded. There's also standing tickets close to the stage.
Tickets for the inaugural parade and any inaugural balls are not included in the bill.
