Coloradans Exhaust Ticket Supply for Obama Speech

60K apply for state's allotment of about 30K at Denver stadium where Dem will accept

(Newser) – Colorado’s allotment of seats for Barack Obama’s Aug. 28 acceptance speech is accounted for, the Denver Post reports, with 60,000 people applying in 24 hours to be part of the bloc of about 30,000. There will be 60,000-75,000 seats available at Denver’s Invesco Field, with about half reserved for the host state. Requests from all states must be made by Tuesday, the AP adds.

"This incredible response and excitement shows that there is a huge appetite for change in Colorado," an Obama campaign rep said of the booming demand for tickets.   (AP Photo)
Demand appears to far outstrip supply of tickets to the Aug. 28 speech at Denver's Invesco Field during which Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination for president.
