That is exactly why we paid what we did then. We wanted to see her in person at a private smaller event and knew that price was only going to go up given her star power and meteoric rise.
It was around 350/ticket for her dinner(?)
I remember being invited to a Bush dinner here in Nashville in 2002 with around 250 folks and it was 2500/plate...more for meet and greet
Even Fred Thompson exploratory dinner at Mike Curb’s digs in 2007 was around 2000/head
My dad used to go for Reagan stuff and was a Bush I pioneer...it’s just expensive.
I have only ever paid like that to see Sarah Palin and it seemed like a bargain...it was worth it...there were several freepers there...I met two of them...ladies from North Carolina...I don’t want to put them out on jump street right now
That was a discount!
