Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren will make a campaign appearance in Fort Wayne next week – but the venue is already sold out.

Cable news network MSNBC on Wednesday night tweeted an image promoting a town hall forum featuring the Massachusetts senator and Chris Hayes, host of the network's “All In” program, scheduled for 8 p.m. Wednesday in Fort Wayne.

MSNBC could provide no information on the event Thursday morning, and neither the network nor Warren's campaign responded to emailed questions later in the day.

Allen County Democratic Party Chair Misti Meehan confirmed that the event is taking place and said in an email, “I've been helping MSNBC get panelists and work on the location.”

On Thursday night, the party's Facebook page linked to an announcement of the town hall on the ticketing website Eventbrite, which stated the town hall would be from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Ceruti's Bergstaff Place, 2020 E. Washington St., and would air live at 8 p.m. But the site also stated that the event was sold out.

Bergstaff Place has a capacity for 300 people.

Warren had tweeted Wednesday, “Looking forward to visiting Michigan and Indiana for the first time as a presidential candidate this week!”
