At the core of our constitutional democracy is a simple idea: the peaceful transfer of power. On Inauguration Day, that idea comes to life with the swearing-in of the President and Vice President in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America. The ceremony is more than just a formality. It represents both continuity and change, signifying to the world our unbroken commitment to respecting the will of the voters and maintaining our government of, by, and for the people. The stability and transition of a new administration represents both hope for our future and a firm commitment to the traditions and values we hold dear as Americans.

Congressman McGovern's office has now reached capacity for the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies on January 20, 2025. If you already requested a ticket, you will hear back from our office shortly. Please note that non-ticketed viewing areas on the National Mall west of 4th Street NW will also be open to the public. Find out more information from the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies by clicking here.

Please note that due to the large number of requests, tickets are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. While Congressman McGovern will make every effort to fulfill all requests, requesting tickets does not guarantee admission to the inaugural ceremonies. Tickets allow access to specific sections of the Capitol Grounds. There will be a large section on the National Mall that will also be accessible to the public. Accessibility services are provided in each ticketed section and upon entering the section will be available by request.
