Bill and Hillary Clinton are continuing their 13-city speaking tour in Texas this week, and tickets are selling for as low as $11.
The Daily Caller reports, “Seeing the duo at the Financial Centre in Sugar Land, Texas, on Dec. 4 runs anywhere from $11 to $80 depending on the seat quality. On resale sites, some sellers are asking for as much as $531 a ticket — although it’s unclear if they’ll be able to find a buyer at that price.”
Last week, at their Toronto event, the Clintons sold about 3,300 tickets in a venue that holds over 19,000 seats for hockey games. That means roughly 83% of the seats in were empty. That event saw some last minute tickets being sold for as little as $5.
Maureen Dowd paid $177 for a ticket to hear Bill & Hillary Clinton. If she had waited til day of the event, she could have gotten one for less than $10. That's how popular the tour is… https://t.co/UmWW1F4J6P
