It is true that tickets weren't announced until last week, and it is likely that if Boyd had continued with the town hall event, 500 ppl might not have shown up for the health care panelists discussion.
By the way, tickets are not needed in order to limit the number of people entering the auditorium. All they have to do is use counters and stop entry after reaching maximum capacity.
In my opinion, if this many people are showing up for this event, and even more who would like to attend, perhaps Congressman Boyd should consider having a few days in a row of these talks, or perhaps have the town hall meetings in other parts of his region, such as Walton County and Okaloosa County. If he really cared about the opinions of the public, which he doesn't appear to, he would find venues that would allow such. If nothing else, why not video tape a couple of smaller venues of questions and response, and upload to his website. I'm sure that most people will have similar questions they want answered. He really could use this to his advantage.
