Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.

Supporters will be able to watch a live stream of the event and the presidential parade in the Capital One Arena, the same arena where Trump held a rally on the eve of the inauguration. While over 200,000 tickets were originally issued for the swearing-in viewing, the arena only has the capacity for just over 20,000.
