The tickets don't reserve anything for that very reason.

20 million? Nope.
Comes straight from this site. Don't you hate always being wrong about Trump?

Looking a the form for ticket requests it's limited to 2 per phone number. It can certainly be skewed but at the end of the day he will have packed house and some crazy amount of people outside.

Sadly, also not reliably honest.

Ok, the calculator said about 5.5 million. Get me to 20 million, which is what you're saying.

I'm absolutely certain Trump has rabid support of his fans. I DON'T believe there will be anywhere near 1 million in attendance, and God Help Tulsa if all those people show up.

And if there were truly a million people planning to come, hotel rooms would be sold out. Because not all that many old people want to drive 3 hours back home starting at about 10 p.m, which is when you could hope to get out of the parking lot at the earliest.

I guess we'll know soon enough - Saturday's only a few days away.

edited to add: I redid the calculator, and put in 250 mile radius - about a 5 hour drive. I still wasn't at 20 million people. You're doing the calculator wrong.

The seats were originally reserved and they would not show up, since the seats are no longer reserved what they do now is enter the building and leave so the seat is empty to make it appear to be small crowd. This doesn't work very well either because of the huge crowds outside, it just shows the pettiness of liberals.

A 5 hour drive? Most people don't drive 50 mph on the interstates. lol. Interstates are 70 mph and turnpikes are 75 mph.

You can't get to 20 million even when you calculate people driving 83 MPH the entire 3 hours, and that includes through small towns, of which there are many.

The BIG point here is, there aren't 20 million people in a 3 hour driving radius - there are about 1/4 that number of people, and if there isn't more hotel traffic than a usual weekend, there aren't a million people coming.

Hopefully, for Tulsa's sake.

1 Million Plus Sign up For Tickets To Trump's Tulsa Rally - That breaks all previous records for ANY US politician.


WHO says?

The same people who told us Trump had the YUGEST inauguration crowd in history?
