Do children need tickets to attend the Swearing In Ceremony?
Individuals attending the ceremony within the ticketed sections, both seated and standing areas, must have their own ticket, including children. The exception applies only to infants too young to walk. If your child has a ticket, please keep in the mind that the following items are PROHIBITED in the ticketed areas due to space and security reasons: strollers, carriages, backpacks, and other large bags. People planning to bring their children and watch the event from the non-ticketed National Mall area can bring strollers and the other items otherwise prohibited in the ticketed areas.
