Here's new information on Obama Rally at the Forum near the Capitol in Center City Harrisburg Sunday evening. I believe the building holds about 2,500 people, so tickets will go fast. The rally in State College on Sunday at 11:30 am. on the main lawn of Penn State has no capacity limitations. (Penn State info is on another thread on this PA. section).

"The event for Obama starts at 6 p.m. Sunday; doors open two hours earlier. Tickets are required. Free tickets can be picked up beginning on Saturday at the Obama for America, Harrisburg Regional HQ, 401 N. 2nd St., Harrisburg. Hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon Sunday."

"Sen. Barack Obama's "Road To Change" bus tour will lead him to Lancaster on Monday. He will conduct a town-hall meeting at the John Barley Multi-Purpose Activity Center at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology starting at 10 a.m. Doors will open at 8 a.m.
"It's a great location," said Lancaster Mayor Rick Gray. "Thaddeus Stevens would be very proud that an institution named for him would host an event for Sen. Obama." Stevens, a congressman from Lancaster during the Civil War, fought against slavery and for racial equality. He is buried in Shriner Cemetery at Mulberry and Chestnut streets — the only burial ground in the city at the time that permitted the interment of both whites and blacks.
Tickets for Monday's event are free and can be picked up at Obama for America, Lancaster County headquarters, 240 Harrisburg Pike. Seating is limited, and tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. today and 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. For security purposes, those attending may not bring bags and should limit personal belongings. Also, no signs or banners will be permitted."

http://www.pennlive.com/news/expresstimes/pa/index.ssf?/base/news-16/1206763553121830.xml&coll=2Obama at Muhlenberg College's Memorial Hall on Liberty St. in Allentown on Monday.
"Muhlenberg's Director of College Communications Jill Lowery confirmed the event and said doors will open at 3:30 p.m. Obama is expected to take the stage about 5:30 p.m. Tickets will be required for admission to the gymnasium, but details such as where to get tickets -- and how -- hadn't been ironed out or disclosed Friday night, Lowery said.
About 2,000 people will be allowed inside and a fair amount of tickets will be available to the public, Lowery said. She said Obama's speech will have a town hall format.
Obama's campaign will open an office Tuesday at 724 Washington St. in Easton. An opening ceremony will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m."
(I'm angry they didn't pick a spot such as the Fairgrounds that could hold 10,000 more people)

The West chester University website reports that tickets are no longer available for the following event in West Chester:
"Hardball with Chris Matthews" kicks off its 2008 college circuit as the "Hardball College Tour" hosts Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama live at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, Wednesday, April 2, 5-6 p.m. ET, and will re-air at 7 p.m. ET and 11 p.m. ET. Matthews will interview Sen. Obama on key issues of the 2008 presidential election, including the economy and the Iraq war, with West Chester students also having the opportunity to question the candidate."

I am guessing he'll be in Wilkes-Barre or Scranton on Tuesday and Philadelphia Wedn. afternoon - maybe Center City over lunch hour??? They don't announce the events until 48 hours in advance.
