It’s official. President Barack Obama will hold his town hall meeting Wednesday at 4 p.m. at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Building 12.
And it’s going to be free and open to the public, that is for those people who want to spend St. Patrick’s Day morning waiting on line for tickets. I’m hearing there will be 2,000 total tickets, including probably a couple of hundred already spoken for by public officials and people who worked on the Obama campaign.
Here’s the deal: They’ll be distributing tickets starting tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the OC Fair and Event Center, 88 Fair Drive in Costa Mesa. White House officials say to enter at Gate 1 or 10 and park in Lot A. They’re saying tickets will be limited but haven’t put a number on how many will be available. Parking will cost $5 at the fairgrounds.
As you can imagine, security is going to be extremely tight so they’re telling people not to bring bags and to limit their personal items. So travel light. Also, don’t spend any time making signs or banners. You won’t be allowed to bring them on to the site. Obama will be staying in the area overnight because he’ll be touring the Edison International Vehicle Electrics plant in Pomona on Thursday. That event isn’t going to be open. RTHANLS
You mean, see their King..

What do you have to do, to NOT get a ticket? Just not show up?
Is there going to be a gathering to protest? I live right next to the fairgrounds.
