Hottest seat in town
Did you get tickets to see Barack Obama at the War Memorial Auditorium? Congratulations! You are among the lucky 2,000 to snatch them up.
Folks who didn't get them are pretty sore. The city council and staff have received messages from folks about the Obama visit. Some begged for spare tickets. Others scolded that the auditorium is just too small for the number of people who would like to see him.
It's worth noting that the city didn't plan the event, it is merely accommodating the campaign.
But do keep those fingers crossed, Obama boosters. Maybe he will return to the Triad before the May primary.

Don't forget they wanted to INCREASE the number of seats in the Auditorium by 150 people for a measly $35 Million Dollars. Nothing creates a BUZZ more than demand - may be they should have tied the Obama tickets to this weekend's Womens Basketball games to help those sales.
