Trump campaign gives out 20,000 tickets for 1,400-seat theater in Bernie Sanders' hometown after discovering plot to mass-request seats and leave them EMPTY.
Donald Trump's campaign has handed out nearly 20,000 tickets to an event Thursday night in a theater with just 1,411 seats.
It's not a counting error, but the latest salvo in the war liberal protesters have waged against the Republican presidential front-runner - this one lobbed in the city where progressive icon Bernie Sanders was once the mayor. Reports have swirled all week in Burlington, Vermont that liberal saboteurs have been requesting tickets by the bucketful using phony email addresses, in the hope that ticketing would stop and a large portion of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts would be embarrassingly empty.
The Trump campaign appears to have dramatically overcompensated: Police report that at least 6,500 tickets have been issued to people who appear to have genuine email addresses and say they plan to attend.

Smart move on the part of the Trump Campaign! Go Trump!
Go Trump
HAHA poor Bernie.
Looks like Trump outsmarted them again. The Burlington rally tonight has been a smashing success and thousands of Trump supporters showed up, many of whom could not even fit inside the facility.
Wow!!!
Smart!
"I am sorry so many of you have to be at satellite facilities, but that, among many things in this world at this time, are the results of the games "progressives" play ... we have all been put out by them, inconvenienced by them, toyed with by them, and disrespected by them."
WOOHOO GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
Love him or hate him, you kinda have to respect him.
Almost 11,000 alone watching the stream on Youtube.
Feel the Bern !
Well said. Good angle.
This was an interesting event. A LOT of protesters. Trump said “Get em out. Get out in the cold. And don’t give them their coats.” (laughing). “This is Vermont. What would it be without some protesters.”
No other Republican candidate will go to Vermont and since Trump made that point tonight, I’ll bet Ted Cruz, the what about me?/me too candidate will try it now.
Yep.
Funny how none of us are out snapping up hillary or bernie tickets to no show. Leftism only survives through fraud, lies and silencing of their opponents.
“Smart move on the part of the Trump Campaign! Go Trump!”
Disappointing almost 19000 people who think they have a reserved seat doesn’t sound too smart. A better solution would be to give out tickets ONLY to people you know will go.
I believe the Trump Campaign knew what they were dealing with.
the lame stream media was claiming that ‘there are more protestors outside than supporters inside’
