http://www.denverpost.com/2017/10/18/mike-pence-fundraiser-ticket-sales/
"Because of a lack of demand, the Colorado Republican Party is offering a Groupon-like deal to see Vice President Mike Pence.
Pence is the headliner for a party fundraiser Oct. 26 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center, where the lowest-priced tickets originally cost $275.
The party announced the event weeks earlier but struggled to sell the tickets available. So now its lowering the cheapest ticket to $150, a 45 percent discount. A couple can attend with a two-for-one deal at the original $275 price.
Colorado Republican Party Chairman Jeff Hays tried to put his best spin on the news, writing in an email Wednesday: Due to popular demand, we have made more tickets available at a new lower price. But the same invite later says space is limited."

not to see him. And we have no choice about that.

Maybe Pence can sponsor animal tricks as an opening act. Circus animals are underemployed.
Python Snake Dances, anyone?

Below is a link to a interview Terry Gross did with Jane Mayer discussing her recent article on Mike Pence.
I found it very informative.

From the linked article:
"The ... expected attendance is 400 ...
The room holds 900 for typical banquet events"

And unlike paying $275 to see Mike Pence, you'll get a hell of a lot more entertainment value out of a Switch. Plus you'll sleep easier at night knowing you're not contributing to the Trump cabal. And you get to play Super Mario Odyssey.
