Donor Fatigue? Tickets to Obama Fundraiser in California Now 50 Percent Off
The Washington Examiner ^ | Tuesday, November 19, 2013 | Rebecca Berg

Posted on 11/19/2013 5:29:24 AM PST by kristinn

The Democratic National Committee is reducing ticket prices for a high-dollar fundraiser in San Francisco next week that features President Obama, according to an email sent to donors Monday.

Obama is set to appear at a luncheon at the SFJAZZ Center on Nov. 25 to benefit the DNC, but whether it's a sign of donor fatigue or a general lack of interest, tickets have not been selling as expected.

"An exciting new update I would love to mention is that we have reduced the price for the general admission luncheon tickets to $500/person," Shefali Razdan Duggal, a member of the DNC's national finance committee, wrote in the email. "In addition, all current $1000 ticket holders will be upgraded to VIP (this includes premium seating near the stage and Presidential rope line access)."

Originally, entry-level tickets for the event started at $1,000, so the DNC is offering what amounts to a 50 percent discount.

>> Presidential rope line access

I got all excited about being a part of the Obama “rope line” and ran off to get my checkbook.

Then I thought about it and realized that they weren’t talking about THAT kind of a rope line. Dang.

IIRC, this is not the first time he has had to discount tickets. Nonetheless, it is GREAT news.

50% off? Hah----knowing how the coniving Derms operate---they're probably paying ringers to attend....with instructions to loudly applaud

Obabo's got zillions stashed away offshore---he's spent his entire time in office using official govt activities to build the Democrat party into a permanent majority.

(Cackle) Too bad he stupidly threw a bomb into his plans w/ Obamacare---you gotta laugh knowing the Obo/Care connivers are THAT stupid.

Musta been laughing up their sleeves as they connived to insert the infamous cancellation clause---planning to regurgitate the old Dem standby---blaming someone else---blaming Repubs and the insurance companies they unreservedly despise.

Now the stupids must be downing valium and vodka non-stop as we type---the lunkheads failed to factor in that Dems would take the fall at the polls---by the very people they intended to "punish" w/ cancellations ---- we, the voters.

Why not offer them pay full ticket price and receive a free ObamasCare waiver. Such a deal—wonder if his Union pals would be jealous?

No, Shefali, or whatever your real name is, “an exciting new update” would be hustling JugEars off for a permanent visit to Kenya.

I put 2 tickets on my windshield, went to dinner, and when I came back there were 8 more.

I am slowly seeing an answer to prayer—that Obama would be humiliated,exposed for the fraud that he is, and lose the ‘love’that the world has given him as he unravels at the seams. Never again to command any attention, any respect, or any demand to hear what he thinks about anything.

No worries. Treat the donation the same as he would taxes. If revenue is threatened by less participation, double the price.

Ain’t liberal economics simple?

Thanks for the kudos (blush).

I think we should start calling him “Wrong-Way Boobamba.”

Remember-—he “vowed” to destroy the Republican Party——but he ended up destroying the Democrat Party, instead.

Looks like he needs a new GPS system from Santa.

ROTFLOL.
