Tickets for the debate at Centre:
Questions and answers

Information last updated Sept.18, 2000

What is the seating capacity of the debate hall?
The seating capacity of Newlin Hall in the Norton Center for the Arts is 1,500. For the night of the debate, that capacity will be reduced due to television production needs. The production crew is likely to cover many seats with platforms designed to accommodate television cameras. Ultimately, the Commission on Presidential Debates handles all seating configurations for the debate hall.

Who is eligible to receive tickets to the debate?
The Commission on Presidential Debates controls all tickets. They have indicated that a substantial portion of all available tickets are reserved for use by commission members, the candidates, and their guests. A limited number of tickets may be made available to Centre. The college has committed these tickets to Centre students and to donors who substantially supported the cost of the debate. The college has helped plan viewing parties for Centre alumni in cities throughout the United States.
