Your Trip to the Inauguration: the Map..

9 days, folks, to the Inauguration. If you are planning to go for the Inauguration , PIC just released the map that shows the location and sections for ticketed guests. This map also helps those of us who have no tickets - in planning our way in. (Me- no ticket - so I will 'parachute' myself there..) Doc 2009 Map Inauguration

They're dead serious about timing. IF - you don't get through the screening point by 11:30am, they won't let you in - no matter what kind of excuses you have!

Via Joint Congressional Committee on Inauguration.

Ticketed guests must enter the Capitol Grounds through the entry point designated for their particular section. Because of the large crowds expected to be travelling to the Capitol Grounds and the National Mall, and the numerous street closures and other security measures that will impact travel routes, ticketed guests are advised to make careful plans to ensure they arrive at their designated access point well in advance of the start of the official program. Security screening gates will open at 8:00 AM, music will begin at 9:00 AM, and the formal program begins at 11:30 AM. Guests not through the screening points by 11:30 AM may not be allowed to enter.

Metro riders should be aware that Metro trains may not be able to stop at stations that are deemed to be overcrowded for safety reasons. If this happens, and ticketed persons miss the designated stop for their ticket area, they should get off at the next possible stop and walk back toward their designated station.

OK. Prepare to walk back if you miss your stop. So, out-of-towners and those who have no freaking clue about how the DC subway system works, study the map.

And best to plan ahead of time...
