As Election Day inches closer and closer, Arizona remains a presidential ticket hot spot.

Former President Donald Trump will be in Tempe on Thursday. It's his second visit to The Grand Canyon State this month and is coming on the heels of a drop-in from Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, who was scheduled to campaign in Peoria and Tucson on Tuesday.

Here’s what you should know about Trump's visit to Tempe.

Where is Donald Trump’s Tempe rally?

The event will be held at Mullett Arena, located at 411 S. Packard Drive. The arena hosts Arizona State University's hockey team — and, until earlier this year, the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League.

Mullett Arena seats 5,000 people.

When is the Tempe Donald Trump rally?

Doors open at 10 a.m., and the program is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

Are any tickets left? What should you expect if you go?

Sign-up is available through the campaign's website.

Attendees may sign up to receive two tickets online, however, entrance is on a first-come, first-served basis. They also must also verify their tickets by phone after receiving their invite.

This will be Trump’s fifth stop in the state since June. He was most recently in Prescott Valley at the Findlay Toyota Center on Oct. 13.
