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.
Daniel Cole, the partys spokesman, clarified: We are hearing from a lot of people that they very much want to see the vice president but the tickets were too expensive.
He added: We couldnt fill the large room at that ticket level.
