Can they Invesco the Inauguration?

With inauguration tickets pretty much unobtainable,

Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who is chairing the committee, said today that Congress was hoping to find some "creative" ways to accommodate more people because the demand for tickets is vastly outstripping the supply.

Committee aides said they were looking at maps with the architects "and trying to see if more people can be squeezed in." The configuration will be slightly different from previous years.
