UPDATE: Four minutes after Cline posted the announcement on Facebook, I went to the registration page for the town hall, which featured this button:

I don’t know if this means all the tickets for the event are already taken. If anyone knows more, please let me know.
Ten months after his last open meeting with constituents, Congressman Cline will hold a town hall event in Lexington on Thursday September 25.
The town hall will take place from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in Room 200 at the Rockbridge County Courthouse, 20 South Randolph Street in Lexington.
According to Cline’s announcement:
I look forward to meeting with the citizens of Lexington. Just like previous town halls, this is a valuable opportunity for me to engage directly with residents of I look forward to meeting with the citizens of Lexington.
Event Details & Registration:
Registration is required via Eventbrite.
Each attendee must register individually. Only one (1) ticket per person is allowed.
Priority admission will be given to residents of Lexington.
If you are not a resident of Lexington, you may receive provisional admittance. My office will notify you 24 hours prior to the event if space becomes available.
Additional Notes:
Rep. Cline traditionally holds townhalls in each of 22 localities in the Sixth District each term.
Due to courthouse policy, cell phones, smart phones, iPads, iPods, or other electronic devices are not permitted inside the venue.
Signs and noisemakers are not permitted at the event.
You can register (“Join Waitlist”) here.
If you plan to attend, feel free to use this website as a resource for questions.
And as others have noted, it’s very convenient for Cline that electronic recording devices are barred from the courthouse.
First I heard about this. And it is “ sold out.” ???

Lawyers can bring phones into the courthouse. I’m calling in Monday because I’m not sure if this rule applies when court isn’t in session. This seems to be a private event at the courthouse.

I called the clerk’s office today, and they sounded surprised when I said Ben’s post said no cell phones were allowed after-hours. That is certainly the policy while court is in session (lawyers can bring their phones after showing bar card), but they didn’t know why it would apply to an event after court was finished.
