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.

I would not want to see him or any of the democrat politicians in person. they all disgust me. even if it was free. no way. I wouldn't lower myself to be associated with that level of person.
Not to worry. Our dear leader will find new ways to give the taxpayers' money to the unions and his other croanies so they can give it back to him.
50% off and still overpriced
This will save Marylanders some money.
Could'nt PAY ME enough to attend. Would rather attend a paint drying marathon. What complete clown, other than Oprah, would pay $100.00 to see the country's most pathetic excuse of a president in history?
Maybe they should spread the dinner price out so everyone pays a fair share.then force the attendees to pay hefty fee for forks and utensils when the morons show up...if they dont pay up.... they face a heavy tax penalty and have to wash the dishes.....then when they all choke on the meal they said would be steak and turned out to be a tuna sandwhich...they can use obamacare to save em
Why does he need money now????
ohhhhh, nooooo!
