The Republican National Committee has opened a public lottery for free tickets to its first-ever midterm convention, set for Sept. 9-10 at American Airlines Center in Dallas.<\/p>\n
According to the RNC, interested people can request tickets online at gopconvention.com<\/a> for one or both days of the event. Lottery winners will be notified on Sept. 4 and must claim their tickets within 24 hours. The tickets are free of charge.<\/p>\n Organizers expect more than 20,000 attendees. Lottery winners will gain access to a \u201cvictory plaza\u201d featuring food, drinks and special guests in what the party describes as a celebratory environment. Some selected attendees may also receive VIP front-row seating.<\/p>\n The midterm convention is being billed as a first-of-its-kind gathering focused on rallying support ahead of the November elections rather than conducting traditional party business. RNC Chairman Joe Gruters has referred to the event as a \u201cTrumpapalooza.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to the free lottery, state Republican parties have offered paid packages for donors seeking higher levels of access. The Republican Party of Texas initially marketed packages ranging up to $20,000 before later reducing some prices.<\/p>\n The American Airlines Center, home to the Dallas Mavericks, will host the two-day event. Organizers are also seeking hundreds of local volunteers to help staff the convention.<\/p>\n The ticket request form is now live on the official convention website.<\/a> Credential possession does not guarantee arena entry if capacity is reached, according to the RNC.<\/p>\n LISTEN<\/a> on the Audacy App
