Are Tickets Available for a Second Inauguration of Donald Trump?

No.

A tweet purportedly showing images of tickets to what appears to be “The 2nd Inauguration of Donald Trump,” on August 15, 2021, has been circulating on Twitter. 

The tweet says that these “tickets” are being sold for $1,200 on “Q sites all over the internet.” The tickets themselves say that Trump’s supposed presidential inauguration will feature musical guests Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

The tickets, however, are not real and Trump will not be inaugurated as president this August. 

The tickets have been photoshopped using a common ticket template, an example of which can be found on this printing company’s website. The blank event tickets, which can be purchased, match the alleged tickets for Trump’s inauguration. The blank ticket template, for example, has the same “event code” number as the Trump ticket: C0812. The section/aisle and row/box numbers of the Trump ticket match the template ticket as well. Another clue is that the event text font does not match the font of the ticket template, suggesting that “Trump’s inauguration” tickets have been manipulated. 

Furthermore, according to Kid Rock’s website, the musician will be performing at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, on August 15, the same day as Trump’s alleged inauguration. Also, according to Ted Nugent’s website, Nugent’s 2021 tour will be postponed until 2022, with no mention of any performances on August 15 of this year.

    Soaring eagle is a nice place. But doesn’t say much for kid rock that his career is heading through a venue like that. Thus begins the Christopher cross era of his career

    The image of someone holding a ticket at the Capital and looking confused while tourists and the occasional government employee amble by amuses me.

    Maybe the 'tour dates' for Kid Rock and Ted Nugent are just another layer on this 12-D chess game????

    This was obviously a crock and didn’t need to be fact-checked, but some people believe this stuff and it’s kind of fun to air out their gullibility,

      These tickets are an obvious crock, but "Donate your $$$ to us and reserve priority seating for Trump's reinstatement NOW" sounds no different from fundraising scams pro-Trump outfits have already pulled on their marks. So some kind of "ticket" (as in reservation) sold, however fraudulently, to Trump supporters for a reinstatement "inauguration" doesn't sound so implausible.

      Dang, I hope I haven't given anyone any ideas.

        That is a good point. We don’t want to lose sight of the fact that an awful lot of Trump-related insanity comes from people who are only out to make a buck from it.

      True, but I doubt there would be any use on this site. Breitbart and House GOP could use such alerts.

    We really felt the need to fact check this?
