Red Rocks officially holds almost 9,500 people. There were just a few more ticket holders than could be accommodated:
According to CBS, 25,000 tix were requested for Mitt Romney's appearance at Red Rocks. The Pepsi Center holds around 20,000—

My wife and daughter tried to go to Romney rally at Red Rocks and were turned away. Packed house sellout. Couldn't get close to event.—

So sad. Waited 2 hours in line and did NOT get into Red Rocks to see our future President Romney. Thousands turned away!!!!—

Drove 500+ miles to Romney rally at Red Rocks. Didn't get in. Don't mind (much). Crowd huge. 1000s couldn't get in. This is a good thing.—

Enthusiasm? You could say that.
Romney/Ryan event in Red Rocks Colorado. More people came than the amphitheater could hold. Momentum grows even more! http://t.co/nhc4hxH5—

Justin Romney or Mitt Beiber? MT @PhilipRucker: Thousands of Coloradans are screaming Mitt's name at Red Rocks. Like at a Bieber concert.—

Oh, they saw it, SP. Here’s your proof:
Hope reporters remind their audience Romney/Ryan's Red Rocks event is occurring in a facility built by the gov't via FDR's socialist CCC.—

Colorado Dems pointing out the irony of Romney event at Red Rocks, which was built entirely w/ public funds in 1930's. bit.ly/PfuVX5—

Do you think conservatives let that weak talking point slip by unchallenged? Of course not.
@GarrettNBCNews Do they also point out the irony of Romney using a highway which was built with public funds. Or how about the airport.—
(@GarCasey) October 24, 2012
@GarrettNBCNews ummm… So are all the streets and town squares where Romney has had rallies.—

Romney credits the power of God for the beauty of Red Rocks. Cue indignant Tweets about the WPA in 3… 2… 1…—

Feel that, libs? It’s momentum — and your guy doesn’t have it. Just ask Sandra Fluke.
