On 1/6/13 at 3:30pm I received an email from Julianna Smoot, Co-Chair 2013 Presidential Inaugural Committee, indicating I would receive an email on 1/7 with information about purchasing tickets to the Inaugural Ball on 1/21, Convention Center, WDC. On 1/6 at 7:30pm, I received that email. On 1/7 at 12:15am I received an email explaining an error was made and that Ticketmaster "takes responsibility," whatever that means. By the time I realized what had happened, the event was sold out. This is just another example of the two Americas, and how those of us without "connections" and limited means are unfairly treated. Make Ticketmaster take real responsibility by forcing them to financially compensate those of us who never had a real chance at an opportunity to attend this historic event.
