Tickets to President Bush’s trip on Friday to the University of Notre Dame are not being made available to the general public.

Tickets for the president’s stop to promote his Social Security reform proposal are being distributed to local groups on a nonpartisan basis through the office of Rep. Chris Chocola, a White House spokesman said.

Chocola spokesman Brooks Kochvar said that the tickets were being distributed through business and student groups and community organizations throughout the Republican congressman’s northern Indiana district.

Kochvar said tickets would not be made available directly through Chocola’s district office and that groups receiving the tickets would be able to give them to whomever they want.

When asked whether there is any way for the general public to obtain tickets to see the president, Kochvar said, “Not right now.”

Sounds like Rep. Mike <$NoAd$> Ferguson (R) has a similar arrangement in NJ. But we’re still checking on that.
