Tickets for U.S. President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address were forced to be swapped out due to a spelling error.
The tickets allowed guests to attend Tuesday’s “State of the Uniom” rather than State of the Union.
ANALYSIS: What to expect from Trump’s first State of the Union address
White House staff are not to blame in this case but rather the House Sergeant at Arms who was in charge of the tickets.
Democrat Rep. Raul M. Grijalva tweeted out a photo of the tickets along while also taking a shot at U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio also made light of the erroneous ticket on Twitter.
A new batch of tickets has been printed and is in the process of being distributed, CNN reported.
Trump will deliver his first State of the Union address on Tuesday night at 9 p.m. in Washington.
Trump’s guests will include an Ohio welder who will benefit from his tax overhaul plan and the parents of two Long Island teenagers who were believed to be killed by MS-13 gang members.

The guests will be seated in the box of first lady Melania Trump. Many have been selected to amplify the speech’s theme, which White House officials have said is “building a safe, strong and proud America.”
Rep. Joe Kennedy III, a 37-year-old Massachusetts congressman and grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, will deliver the Democratic rebuttal.
