Picking up tickets for Palin? Here’s how
UPDATE TWO: Here’s a story we just posted about additional information needed if you’re planning on attending Friday’s rally.
UPDATE: I’m being told the Butler County McCain/Palin campaign is working with members of the advance team to secure additional spots for parking. We’ll have more later today, so stay tuned.
Meanwhile, today, Oct. 16, is the last day to pick up tickets that are required to attend tomorrow’s rally. Both locations will be open until 8 p.m. Find out more below.
Members of the McCain/Palin campaign were met today, Oct. 15, by lines of people wanting tickets for the vice presidential nominee’s visit to West Chester Twp. on Friday.
There are two locations in Butler County to grab the limited supply of tickets, which began flying out of campaign workers’ hands just before 8:30 a.m.
Butler County GOP Headquarters 5964 Golf Club Lane Hamilton, Ohio 45011 (513) 893-5292
Friends of John Boehner-Campaign Office 7908 Cincinnati-Dayton Rd Suite I West Chester, Ohio 45069 (513) 779-8435 or (800) 228-8551
Event-goers must fill out names and addresses of prospective ticket holders. That means, if you’re planning to pick up tickets for others, like co-workers, friends or family members, you have to have their addresses in addition to their names. There is no limit for tickets … so long as you have the info you need.
If you’re heading out to one of these locations today, expect some lines. Tomorrow will be much of the same, as thousands are expected to attend the rally at the Square @ Union Centre on Friday. For more on that story, click here.
Parking will be limited.
West Chester Twp. officials said they have secured two spots: The field near the Union Centre Loop (where the Embassy Suites will be built later this year) and the vacant lot across from U.S. Bank. They only hold about 1,200 vehicles, according to Township Administrator Judi Boyko, so many people will have to fend for themselves.
Street closings are as follows: Centre Pointe Drive from Centre Loop Drive to Centre Loop Drive, and Towne Centre Drive, just north of Centre Loop Drive, will be closed to traffic starting Thursday, Oct. 16, and will remain closed until after the event, according to Barb Wilson, the township’s public information officer. Additional closures may be needed on Friday, she said.
Boyko said that traffic will be maintained to area businesses during normal hours of operation.
