All dressed up and nowhere to go: The date night that Ticketmaster messed up

Washington (CNN) - Sharon Ilstrup was looking forward to a very special date night with her husband, Blake - a chance to attend one of the Inaugural balls with the president and the first lady.

    The important thing is the inauguration is for Barack H. Obama and NOT Willard M. Romney and for that, I am TRULY thankful.
