WJLA reports on the long lines today on Capitol Hill, as people went down to House and Senate offices to pick up their tickets to the Swearing-In ceremony—the tickets each member of Congress had for constituents were barred from being distributed until today. Most people the local news channel spoke to took the crowds, and the wait, in stride, but one tipster told us it all resulted in a big mess at Capitol South Metro station. “Absolute madness,” wrote Matthew Savener in an email to tips(at)dcist.com at around 1:15 p.m. “Pile-up at turnstiles got so bad — approaching dangerous — that they just opened the gates and let everyone through. Not sure how the fare works on that. The HOBs are swamped. Lines EVERYWHERE on every street. If ticket-holders aren’t here yet they are prob screwed.”
