I think it is real, but not to the actual inauguration, from what it sounds. There are many public happenings in the area that many can attend, I think without them having head counts....that way they get many around the area. But for the actual inauguration it would be the special golden ticket you find in a candy bar..hehe

just teasing on the candy...but wonder if they send those and they could be official, just to get many in area for the public happenings??? hugss,sarah
