Debate Update!!

Tickets- available only to CSU Students via a Lottery starting next Tuesday, the 19th. No tickets are available to the general public.

Volunteer- 200 positions available to students/faculty/staff to work behind the scenes. Only the first 200 people to sign up will be accepted. Also starts the 19th.

Hardball- Will be broadcasting live the day of the debate on campus. Ticket sign up for that also on the 19th.

I guess this is all contingent upon whether Clinton actually commits to the debate.

Thanks again, DS. As I said before, I think all the controls are ridiculous, but that’s just my opinion.

From the president’s comments, it seemed like he wanted the community and students involved…but I guess that doesn’t necessarily mean getting tickets to be at the debate.

With a debate like this, the candidates want to know who is sitting in the audience. It is going to be staged and screened very well. The don’t just want anyone (aka. republicans) sitting in the audience. Not only that, but NBC doesn’t want any protesters finding their way into the debate.

All I can say is, Good Luck…and I will post anything I hear

Thanks DS – a few of us have been brainstorming about that and hope that CSU’s president will help persuade them to make other arrangements – to seed the audience that way seems very artificial.

Still no word about the debate. According to the Plain Dealer, about 2000 tickets are going to be distributed, mainly through the campaigns. It is unlikely anyone from the public is going to be able to get tickets, unless they are some type of government official or campaign staffer.

I work at Cleveland State, and I just heard from the office of the president that NBC is going to be in charge of all of the tickets.

She said to check the website today or tomorrow because they are going to be updating the information once everything gets finalized.

As I wrote here, no one knows yet how to acquire tickets or get credentials. The best help I can give you is to tell you to keep watching the CSU website and set up a google alert with key words like cleveland state debate february. Good luck!
