The AP is reporting a that a group of students have filed a class action lawsuit against Vienna, Va.-based Envision EMI, after they claim the company failed to deliver on promises of special access to President Obama’s inauguration in January. The students each paid thousands of dollars for a trip to the inauguration, only to be disappointed: “…the lawsuit says once the students got to Washington, they had no tickets for the inauguration or parade. And the balls they attended were not official events connected to the inauguration.” I have a lot sympathy for these kids believing they could buy their way in to a special inaugural experience, and it certainly sounds like this company got greedy and promised way more than they could deliver. But the complaint that the ball they went to wasn’t “official” seems pretty naive. There were hundreds of inauguration-themed parties over the course of the four-day long celebration, and only ten of them were “official.”
