Hundreds line up for tickets to hear President Obama's acceptance speech

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — For the second day in a row,  hundreds of people lined up for a chance to attend the Democratic National Convention.

Officials ran out of credentials Sunday for President Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at Bank America Stadium Sept. 6.

Campaign officials didn’t tell Eyewitness News just how many tickets were handed out, but did say that each person was given two tickets per person.

People started lining up at 4:30 a.m. at the office on East W.T. Harris Boulevard location to get tickets.

Anyone who didn't get a ticket can sign up to be put on a waiting list in case credentials are released later.
