Ballot for tickets to see Blair at inquiry
Independent: Demand for a seat to watch Tony Blair give evidence to the Iraq inquiry has been so high that a public ballot is to be held to allocate the limited places.
The ballot, similar to ones used for World Cup tickets or Glastonbury, will see a maximum of just 120 people handed the chance to witness the former prime minister deliver evidence in the flesh, meaning thousands of others will be disappointed.
The audience promises to be a tough one for Mr Blair as one-third of the seats will be reserved for the families of soldiers killed during the Iraq campaign.
