The Obama Presidential Center Opens to the Public, But Tickets Will Be Hard to Come By
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
After an extraordinary inauguration ceremony on Thursday featuring a star-studded lineup of artists and speakers, a crowd filled with top celebrities and three former presidents, the long-awaited Obama Presidential Center in Chicago's South Side officially opens on Friday, but visiting it may still be a challenge. 'I hope this center serves as a reminder of how special and valuable our democracy truly is, and that it reminds us of what we can achieve when we take on our shared responsibilities as citizens,' said former President Barack Obama, the country's first Black president, during his speech to the crowd. Tickets for the center's public opening, which coincides with Juneteenth, have been sold out for months. Earlier this week, the venue's ticketing website indicated that admission was booked through November, with only 17 dates available. By Friday morning, it appeared that the center was completely sold out for all future dates until new tickets are released.
