I keep looking for information on where you can buy tickets the day of the straw poll. What form of payment they take cash, credit card, check etc. I can't find it anywhere. I'm starting to get a bit scared that we all show up and we won't be able to get tickets.
On the iowa gop site they have this page below where you can purchase tickets now to be either sent to you or at a will call booth.

Every press release about the voting they give all the rules and regulations but nothing talks about where and how to actually buy ticket the day of.
Anyone have any answers?

Call 1-800-RON-PAUL and ask the campaign if they are buying tickets in advance. If you are in a registered Republican in Iowa, they may send or reserve a ticket for you to pick up on 8/11 in Ames.

The campaign itself isn't buying tickets for anyone I know that. My point is we have this adopt-an-iowan program (that i believe they are intending on buying blocks of tickets the day of the event to distribute to ron paul supporters) and alot of people including myself that will be showing up the day of intending to purchase a ticket as well as maybe more for our friends and family we drag along with us. If you can't buy tickets the day of event we will have major problems as I see it.

Spoke with Carolyn of the Iowa Republican Party. Ron Paul's campaign is not buying tickets.
You can pay cash or with credit card at the Hilton Coliseum Box Office the day of the event.
If you would like to buy a ticket for an Iowan please visit: http://RonPaulStrawPoll.blogspot.com
If you can round up a few people to go with you, Adopt-An-Iowan should be able to help pay for their tickets.

There will be a Box Office at the Hilton the day of the event. We have already been discussions with Political Directors from the IA GOP and the National Campaign has helped in getting us some of this information.

Don't worry, you will definitely be able to buy tickets the day of the event (indeed, that is what most attendees who didn't receive a ticket from a campaign will do). I'm not sure if they will take credit cards at the event, so I would bring cash just to be sure.
If you can't wait to get them in your hands you can order them directly from the Iowa GOP here:

There's a link at the bottom of the page to buy tickets online. They will mail them to you or you can pick them up at will-call. If you want them in the mail you better get on it ASAP to be sure you have them in time.
