Trump runs out of inauguration VIP tickets for $1m donors after record support: 'Space is limited'

President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural committee is no longer selling tickets for major donors to attend his swearing-in ceremony due to a reported shortage.

Million dollar donors are now on wait lists for inaugural events, as tickets for many of the events in Washington, D.C., that weekend have been sold out.

That has not stopped donors from cutting checks for the president-elect, as some are sending the committee money without receiving any access to the inaugural events in return.

One donor who is bundling for the committee confirmed to DailyMail.com that wealthy donors were struggling to get confirmed access to any of the inaugural events.

The former and future president's inaugural committee has already raised $170 million on pace to reaching up to $200 million.

The stunning sum more than doubles the funds raised by President Joe Biden in 2020, as just $62 million was raised by his committee after beating Trump in the presidential election.

The donations are used to pay for the inauguration ceremonies including the oath of office ceremony, the parade, and the inaugural balls, as they are not funded by the American taxpayer.

Extra money will be used to fund President Trump's future presidential library.

I was invited but I had to decline; all the flights were booked.
