- Hardball with Chris Matthews of MSNBC will broadcast live from our Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs Atrium. Ticket sign up will be available online on Thursday, February 21.

More details regarding the event will be released as the information becomes available.
From commenter “DS” – thank you!:
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.

“No tickets available to the general public”
Big sigh…
Are Hardball tickets available to the general public or just CSU students?
No tickets available to the general public? That stinks! I am a taxpayer that pays almost as much in Federal tax each year as some of these KIDS pay in tuition. I should have a right to see and hear these people in person!
Jim – most of us feel your pain. I will say that I’m glad the students will be there but I do think it should have been opened up – we’ll see – you never know.
How does one get a question to Brian Williams or Tim Russett for the upcoming debate between Clinon and Obama?
Great question, Florence – I wish I knew – I would email WKYC and/or call the contact number at this site:

It’s past midnight. 2:18 am and I can not find a site to register for the debate. The official date is now (2-19-08.
Please register me. Send message to my email address.
Arlene –
Go here to register for a LOTTERY to get a ticket. Click on the sidebar titles to help find what you want.

Hi, Jill: Isn’t it strange that the instructions still come up on the website “as if”…but no further step…well, that’t life as of 8:57 a.m. on Tuesday. I am going to get the Vanity Fair article you mentioned, in the meantime. As an alumna of CSU, I know the event will be very good for the campus. I heard President Schwartz speak at First Unitarian Church on Sunday; needless to say, CSU is hopping to get ready.
I just went back to the CSU website. As of 11:40 a.m., there was indeed an option to click on either “enter student lottery” or “enter public lottery.” FYI for anyone interested.
Thanks, Maria – I know that they’ve been trying to be as inclusive as possible with the information. The credentialing form I filled out yesterday as soon as it was available had changed by evening so I emailed to make sure I was still okay with what I’d submitted. I think they are working VERY hard at making everything go as best as possible. The demand is out of control!
