President-elect Donald Trump plans to hold a "Make America Great Again" rally at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., on Jan. 19, the day before his inauguration ceremonies.
According to a sign-in link on Trump's inaugural committee's page, the rally will begin at 3 p.m. ET at the arena, which is the home location for the Washington Wizards professional basketball team and the Washington Capitals hockey team, reports CBS News.
The location holds approximately 20,000 attendees. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and only two tickets per mobile number are allowed.
Trump's inaugural ceremonies will be held on Jan. 20 on the east steps of the U.S. Capitol, with guests to observe the event on the National Mall.
The rally has been dubbed a "victory rally," according to an announcement from the inauguration committee, reports The Hill.
A list of additional speakers for the pre-inauguration rally has not been announced.
The incoming president met this week with Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, who said they held a "great" talk while discussing "shared priorities" for his second term.
