Tickets to a Democratic Party fundraiser in Silicon Valley this November, headlined by former President Barack Obama, are selling for between $10,000 and $355,000.
The fundraiser, which is set to take place on November 21st and is co-hosted by DNC Chair Tom Perez, advertised the expensive tickets in invites.
For $10,000, the “Guest” tier, attendees can turn up to the event, but they can’t take a photo with Obama.
For $35,000, the “Champion” tier, attendees get to join the photo line and receive “access to the National Finance Committee benefits.”
Those who splurge $100,000 receive the prestigious title of “Host,” and get to attend the “VIP reception,” while the few who decide to spend $355,000 on a ticket will also bag themselves a “Premium Convention Package.”
According to Vox’s Recode, “The event will be hosted at the home of Karla Jurvetson, a psychiatrist and ascendant Democratic fundraiser in Silicon Valley who gave almost $7 million to Democratic groups last cycle.”
Though the high ticket prices were criticized by some social media users, Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign rapid response director Andrew Bates, a former Obama staffer, declared, “he’s worth every cent! If you’re in the Bay Area, please consider attending.”
And he’s worth every cent! If you’re in the Bay Area, please consider attending. 😃 https://t.co/bMMjUScAFS
