Former President Barack Obama’s rally on Thursday evening with Ralph Northam, the Democratic nominee for governor, is set for the Richmond Convention Center.

The campaign said Thursday’s rally will be free and open to the public.

Northam’s campaign announced Tuesday night that a limited number of tickets to the rally will be made available to the general public at 10 a.m. Wednesday. They will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the Richmond Coliseum Ticket Office at the 5th Street entrance, 601 E. Leigh St.

Earlier Tuesday tickets were made available on a first-come, first-served basis to those who had pre-registered for the event at Northam’s campaign website.

Those who pre-registered were told to line up at the Coliseum on Tuesday for a chance to claim a ticket to the rally, leading to a long line that snaked around the arena.

On Thursday, the doors will open at 5 p.m. for the rally at the convention center at 403 N. 3rd St.
