Ticket sales for President Obamas big fundraiser Monday at the SFJazz Center are so sluggish, organizers are cutting the price of some tickets in half.
The cheap seats for the Democratic National Committee luncheon the ones that were going for $1,000 have been reduced to $500, according to an e-mail to potential donors sent out Monday by Ella Arnold of Buell Private Political Management in San Francisco.
Arnold added, We are thrilled to announce that if you have already purchased a $1,000 ticket
your seat will now be upgraded to VIP, which includes rope line access!
Were told organizers are even making deals on some the $15,000 tickets to the reception with the president, with prices dropping to as low as $10,000.
Arnold declined to comment Tuesday, and the Democratic National Committee did not immediately return our call.

Great chance for a half price deal.

They’re junk tickets to a junk event.

Maybe they should up the ante to $20,000 per person. Paying them that much should entice a few more San Franciscans.

Even some Rats have learned that you don't want Obama behind you, and you won't get your money's worth.

We should send someone there with donations.
He really needs to hear what we have to say.

I read that obama fund raising has been absorbing the donations which would normally go the DNC. So much so, that the DNC has to borrow to continue functioning.
I am always confused why he is fund raising? I don’t remember Bush doing this in the second term. Actually, I barely remember him ever doing it.
To: artichokegrower
It's not nearly enough.
I wouldn't be willing to listen to or meet that big-eared doofus unless the DNC paid me at least $50,000.

” this will be the presidents ninth fundraising trip to the Bay Area in the past 2 1/2 years ”
And it cost how much to fly Air Force One across the country. Nine fundraising trips to SF alone and 150 rounds of golf makes him a pretty busy man.

Great, the nosebleed seats just dropped from $ 50 to $25!
and the Tee shirts are now going for $ 4.75...
Get’em while they’re hot!

You know the guy who wouldn’t walk across the street to piss on Obama if he was on fire? I wouldn’t even offer a drink of water to someone who would.
