Got in line an hour before the doors opened, and couldn’t get a seat: I feel your pain.
We’ll even vent about it on your behalf.
Sometime around 5:30, the line broke, and those on the side of the Kohl center nearest to Mifflin Street were only let into the building through two doors. Meanwhile, people who arrived much later came right through the front and found seats easily.

Once inside, these hundreds of unfortunate souls were bounced from Obama staffer to Obama staffer who promised seats, but came up just short. Eventually, we were told to go outside by a police officer and join the overflow room where the projectors were comically dim. These must have been the most depressed souls to ever leave a Barack Obama rally.

Moral of the story? Hire staff to keep any line of thousands of people in some kind of order, and don’t antagonize the people who waited by letting in latecomers right before their eyes.

I don’t doubt Barack will find a way to cheer everyone up in a few minutes, though.
