In the first 24 hours after Hofstra University was designated as a presidential debate site, the university was deluged with “several hundred calls” requesting tickets, said university spokesman Stuart Vincent.
He said calls came from political staffs, alumni, university staff, local officials and the public. “We told them all the same thing,” said Vincent. “We don’t’ control the tickets, the commission does. We anticipate we will get some tickets, but we don't know how many or when, and most of those tickets we get will go to the students.”
