Just FYI, I've done this before, and when they used to give out tickets at 10 am, people used to camp out overnight the night before. If that's any indication, people who want tickets at 4:30 will probably start lining up very early in the morning. The last time I did it (for the 10 am distribution) people who got there 4 hours before the distribution time did not get tickets.

So bummed I'm not going to be able to make it this year.
FYI, there's slightly cheaper parking to be had at the Watergate complex.
