A fancy US presidential inauguration doesnt come cheap. Fortunately for incoming presidents, plenty of companies and individuals have historically eagerly contributed to the effort through wildly overpriced luncheons, dinners, and other activities surrounding the big day. In the case of Donald Trumps inauguration, theyll cough up $1 million for the top package, which includes four tickets to a leadership luncheon with select congressional leaders and cabinet appointees.
A brochure reveals more details. It was obtained and verified by the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit focused on investigative journalism.
The packages on offer all come down to tickets. Tickets to the leadership luncheon are exclusively reserved for underwriters paying $1 million. Compared to the cheapskates paying just $500,000, those generous souls also get a higher number of tickets to the various other events, which include:
An intimate dinner with vice-president-elect Mike Pence and his wife Karen
A ladies luncheon including an opportunity to meet the ladies of the first families
An entertainment-filled victory reception
A candlelight dinner that includes special appearances by the Trumps and Pences
A concert and fireworks
A parade down Pennsylvania Avenue
VIP ballroom access at the inaugural ball premier
