There were probably that many outside still in line who never made it in. I was one of them. I met a nice elderly couple on the light rail on my way in. They were having trouble signing up for tickets so I did it for them and had the tickets on my phone for them (all they had was an old flip phone). We stuck together during the 2 1/2 hour wait in line and finally the man couldn't take any more and they gave up. Since President Trump was already talking we assumed we would never get in.
I was about 40 ft from the doors when they announced they weren't letting in anyone else. I figured the trains would be crazy crowded so I headed back to the stop. It was kind of funny because there were anti-Trump people on the train and pro-Trump and everyone was pretty decent to one another.
They never asked for my ticket number. I had it written on a piece of paper but their soul concern was that you did not get inside with any weapons.
