The Donald Trump campaign has distributed so many tickets for a Thursday evening rally in Burlington, Vermont that police in the area are expressing concerns that the venue is too small and could present a safety hazard.

According to the Burlington Free Press, while the Trump campaign has distributed 20,000 tickets for the event, the venue — the Flynn Center — can seat just 1,400.

“If Phish was holding a free concert at the Flynn and gave away 20,000 free tickets, we would cancel the event out of public safety concerns,” Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo told the paper. “We are committed to accommodating the campaign because political speech is the very essence of the First Amendment.”

The Flynn Center’s executive director John Killacky said the event would be open-seating and offered on a first-come first-serve basis.

“We’ve been working with the Secret Service very carefully along with the Burlington Police Department,” Killacky told the paper.

The Republican frontrunner has been holding venue-busting rallies across the country as he makes his case to be the party’s nominee.

Trump’s rally Thursday in the solidly-blue Vermont is slated for 7pm and, as NBC News notes, will occur across the street from Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)’ campaign headquarters. The Hill reports that some Sanders’ supporters have schemed on Facebook to reserve tickets but then not show up.

One America News, Washington Post, and Prntly have all discovered that Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have been in deep talks about Cruz being Donald Trump’s running mate . Cruz spared his rhetorical firepower against Trump, and Trump has not criticized the Texan senator at all.
Trump even hinted at selecting Ted Cruz to serve him as VP in his quest to Make America Great Again.
Voters are excited to hear this turn of events, as people have grown delighted. 
EDIT: for the readers who say this is false, simply read the numerous news articles that state this, from Washington Times and One America News
From Washington Post:

The remark piqued the interest of tea party and conservative activists who had already theorized that recent moves by the two campaigns signaled a secret pact.
“It’s highly likely that there is a sweetheart deal there, and it is a very good thing with almost no downside,” said Tom O’Halloran, host of the Texas-based conservative webcast Patriot Radio Show, who subscribes to the theory of a secret Trump-Cruz ticket.
“It’s a brilliant move,” he said. “It sounds to me like a deal that was made in heaven.”
Mr. O’Halloran and other believers pointed to a purported secret meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. Cruz in Dallas at the end of the summer and the absence of attacks waged by the combative Mr. Trump against Mr. Cruz, the only major candidate to be spared Mr. Trump’s blisteringly personal attacks.
Mr. Cruz has mostly refrained from attacking any of his rivals in the crowded GOP field.
However, Mr. Cruz last month said that he was confident that he could beat Mr. Trump in the primary race.
“I don’t believe Donald is going to be the nominee, and I think, in time, the lion’s share of his supporters end up with us,” Mr. Cruz said in an interview on WABC Radio.
“If you look to the records of all the Republican candidates, there’s a big difference between my record and that of everyone else if you ask who has stood up to Washington,” he said. “I think his involvement has been tremendously helpful to my campaign, because it’s framed the central question of this primary.”
The detente between the two camps will be put to the test now that Mr. Cruz is surging in Iowa and within striking distance of Mr. Trump.
