Denver (AP) — In less than 24 hours, some 60,000 Coloradans requested tickets to Senator Barack Obama's acceptance speech — more than the number available to state residents, campaign officials said Thursday.
The campaign hasn't said how many people in other states have sought tickets.
Democratic officials said this week that Coloradans will get roughly half the 75,000 seats for Obama's Aug. 28 speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, the stadium where the Denver Broncos play.
They haven't said exactly how many seats that is. Officials said any other Coloradans who ask for tickets will be put on a waiting list.
