Both stops land as early voting enters its final stretch. Doors for the Trump event open at 2:30 p.m., auxiliary programming starts at 4:30 p.m., and the president's remarks are scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
Talarico brings his "Clear Eyes Full Hearts" tour to Tech. His doors open at 6:00 p.m., and the program begins at 7:00 p.m. It's an open community event, so nobody needs a ticket.
The Trump rally is a different story. Admission is free, but attendees need tickets and registration, with a limit of four tickets per signup. Everyone goes through security screening on arrival, and organizers urge people to show up early to cut down on line delays. Only small, clear bags are allowed, and screeners have the final say on any bag. The prohibited list includes signs, banners, placards, drones, laser pointers, air horns, drums, balloons, glass containers, aerosols, e-cigarettes, alcohol, and any weapon, including pepper spray.
Two rallies for opposite sides, one Lubbock evening.
