250,000 people were fortunate enough to receive tickets to the 2nd Inauguration of President Barack Obama. The tickets were given out to the public for free with the words “Not for sale” clearly printed on each one.
When the tickets were given out, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York admonished anyone who would try to profit from them, "Some people are going to use these tickets as a chance to make a quick buck, so let me be clear. The tickets are free and must remain free."
But that didn’t stopped people from trying to peddle them online. INSIDE EDITION found dozens of Inaugural tickets posted on Craigslist. “Inauguration Tickets - $1,500,” said one posting. Another asked for "$2,000."
So INSIDE EDITION’s Lisa Guerrero responded to some of those ads. After making contact on the phone, she and her producer arranged to meet those lucky ticketholders in a Washington D.C. park.
