[/caption]If you were one of the lucky ones to get inauguration tickets, hopefully you didn't have to go pick them up today. Due to few entrances to staff office buildings and limited Capitol Hill police to guide many misguided visitors, the Hill was complete chaos. Lines at Cannon Office Building, the Hill's largest, wrapped completely around the block, with wait times reaching nearly four hours. But after the long wait, 240,000 tickets were handed out for tomorrow's swearing-in ceremony.
If you didn't get a ticket, there will be room on the National Mall where you can see the ceremony on a jumbotron or you could wait along the parade route to catch a glimpse of the new President and GW's own inaugural float. However, if today's ticket lines are any indication of how tomorrow may go, it will be important to get there early and know exactly where you are going. Make sure to check out the map before you head out!
