Palin tickets going fast

CLEARWATER -- Tickets are going fast for Sarah Palin's speech at a rally Monday morning at Coachman Park in Clearwater.

"People keep coming in one after another," said Tony DiMatteo, chairman of the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee. "We'll probably sell out of them, and we were given 9,000 tickets."

He thinks the GOP's offices in St. Petersburg and Safety Harbor will run out of the free tickets by the end of today. The offices are open until 6 p.m.

If there any tickets left, DiMatteo said they'll be given out tomorrow morning at the Pinellas GOP headquarters, 4707 140th Ave. N, Suite 108, in the Airport Business Center near the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport. The office's phone number is (727) 539-6009.

Some tickets are also available at GOP offices in neighboring counties.
