Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. People can only register for two. Details here.
Trump first teased a possible increase in MSG in April.
“We believe we will hold a rally in Madison Square Garden,” Trump said at the time. “We are thinking of signing a contract with Madison Square Garden. We’re going to have a big rally honoring the police, firefighters and everyone else. We will be honoring many people, including teachers among others.”
“We’re going to honor the people who make New York work,” Trump said.
