The tickets for Washington's hottest inaugural bash went in 48 minutes, all 10,000 of them.
The ones with the Hollywood firepower, with Macy Gray headlining, went on sale yesterday at $1,000 a pop. By the close of business, perhaps 200 of the 1,000 tickets were still available.
Even before the few public tickets for the nine official inaugural balls go on sale or the artists performing at those events are announced, the parties around the nation's 55th presidential inauguration are shaping up to be hard sellouts by the end of the holidays.
Greg Jenkins, executive director of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, said yesterday that there would be a "public component" to the official galas, but he did not elaborate. Jenkins said ticket information about those events would be released later in the month. (The committee's Web site is www.inaugural05.com.)

Say it isn't so - she's a bipolar FREAK!
I think it's good that Macy Gray is there. But I'm suspicious.
Who is Marcy Gray?
I think that would make the party a lot more interesting.
She should not be performing at anything related to our president. In my mind, she's a disgrace.
You have got to be kidd'n... Is she some kind of singer? Never heard of her.
Clay Walker is good. What is this with Macy Gray? I wonder how they get these people?
