Most Senators and House members seem to have way more constituent requests than tickets, so it's definitely going to be interesting to see how they handle this.
Usually it's been first come first serve for the most part (or last minute no-shows for pick-ups). I think people from somewhere like Montana, the Dakotas or Wyoming have historically had better bets of getting tickets.
