If you want to see Donald Trump Thursday night at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, Vermont, you better get there early.
The campaign has issued more than 20,000 tickets for the rally, but the venue only holds 1,411, including space for the press, WCVB reports. Burlington police say at least 6,500 people have confirmed they are coming, but there will be strict attendance limits and once the venue is at capacity, people will be turned away.
It's not uncommon for extra tickets to be handed out for political events, Burlington police said — if more people have tickets, it's less likely that the venue will be embarrassingly empty. The tickets were distributed via Trump's website for free, but some people are selling them on Craigslist for $25.
