As Trump Overbooks Flynn, Burlington Police Prepare For Crowds

[brooklynite]

Vermont Public Radio:

Burlington Police say demand for tickets to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s Burlington event far exceeds the space available in the Flynn Theater, where Trump is scheduled to speak.

Burlington police said in a statement that the Trump campaign informed the department that it has issued “nearly 20,000” tickets to the event, with at least 6,500 ticket-holders having “confirmed a desire to attend using a valid, verifiable email address.”

The Flynn theater will hold about 1,400 people, police said, and once that space is filled officials will turn people away.

I guess chaos is good for ratings...

On edit, I know what he's thinking. This will be all over the news and getting his name out there.

Give more tickets than is allowed in the room.

3. More proof that Trump is crazy...

...not that we needed more proof of that.

5. And who is paying for all the crowd control and police?

I know many fellow Vermonters have reserved tickets in protest, with no intention of going.
It will be interesting....
