Sarah Palin can't sell tickets . . .
". . . According to the Florida Times-Union, organizers of the event were very upfront and honest about why they decided to move, “An Evening With Sarah Palin” from the 2,936 seat Moran Theatre, to the 609 seat Terry Theatre, Florida Director for Heroic Media Mark Nelson admitted that there weren’t enough tickets sold to hold the event in the bigger building, . . . How many tickets have been sold to the Jacksonville fundraiser? Considering that the venue holds 609 people and there are still some $50 tickets for sale on Ticketmaster, a generous sales estimate is probably somewhere in the 400-500 range, which means that the event organizers were expecting about 3,000 people, and instead will be lucky to get 20% of that total.

. . . There was the fiasco in Atlanta where a religious benefit for special needs kids was booked for a 13,000 seat arena, but only sold 1,000 tickets,

Sarah Palin can’t sell tickets, and she can’t draw a paying crowd. Few people will want to pay for the privilege of seeing someone who will not go away. Palin is divisive and at best will only be able to draw from a niche audience. If an organization wants to hold a fundraiser, don’t waste your time and money on Sarah Palin, "

Actually - I say DO book her- WASTE YOUR MONEY and link your idiot organization to a well-known unintelligent laughingstock . . .

6. Ole Levi did a wonderful job of turning her into a sideshow.
He may be a flake but he sure did us a favor.

8. I think she was capable of that
all by her lonesome.

She's a blathering, blithering idiot who rambles incoherently. WTH would want to listen to that? She's a joke - and a bad one at that.


though if she runs again, I suppose all those DU"ERS who'll "stay home" and "refuse to vote for Obama" - would let her into the Whitehouse unchallenged. Gotta wonder about that one.

9. For the sake of comparison
Marie Osmond DID sell out the Moran Theatre a couple of years ago. Marie Osmond!

15. Marie Osmond can put together a sentence.
To be fair Marie works her strong points. Maybe if Sarah played her flute...

12. Yet she tweets idiocy and the country goes into a tail spin over
the, gasp, terrorist Muslim mosque on haloed ground zero.

13. Even for those who like her, for whatever bizarre reason, sitting through 30-60 minutes of her
word salads must be torture. Can you imagine paying $50 to listen to that nonsense?

16. Tickets are selling, about 10 of them...
I was bored Wednesday, so I went to Ticketmaster online to see what seats were available for the Quitter's Hopeless Tour. I did the same thing a few minutes ago, with these results.

Now this is for the $100. best available seats. I figure if one is going to throw money away, they might as well go big.

4 Tickets:
Wed. - Section 1-2 Row G Seats 14-17
Sat. - Section 1-2 Row G Seats 9-12

2 Tickets:
Wed. - Section 1-2 Row F Seats 1-2
Sat. - Section 1-2 Row G Seats 11-12

1 Ticket:
Wed. - Section 1-2 Row G Seat 17
Sat. - Section 1-2 Row G Seat 12

Looks like about 10 tickets have sold since Wednesday night. :rofl:

18. Alright. Enough already.
You can kick Sarah when she's down. No problem. But lay off my beautiful Moran Theatre.

That is all.
