Link: Ticket prices slashed for Glenn Beck event at civic center

Apparently the citizens of Rapid City, SD have figured out what Glenn Beck is all about. You have to click on the "discussion" tab. I have heard so many great things about South Dakota and it's people, this solidified it for me. Bravo South Dakota!!

Tickets to see conservative talk show host Glenn Beck speak in Rapid City at a rally Tuesday now start at $19.95, half the original price.

Shad Olson, president of the sponsoring group, Tea Party Alliance, said in a news release that the prices were cut after the group received a large donation from the South Dakota Campaign For Liberty.

The South Dakota Campaign For Liberty is an organization dedicated to promoting limited government, executive director Rip Ryness said.

The Beck appearance is in part a benefit for the Constitution Challenge, an educational program started by Olson and conservative author Stephen Pratt to teach children about the U.S. Constitution.

In the Constitution Challenge, students compete to answer questions about the Constitution and U.S. government.

Ryness said he hopes the lower ticket prices will get "people rallied for the upcoming election and in general rallied around the idea of limited government, better education - the ideas behind the Constitutional Challenge."

Olson's news release said more than 1,000 tickets have already been sold for the event.

Beck is a bestselling author who has used his books and his program on Fox News to promote the tea party movement and the idea of limited government and to oppose the political left.

His visit to Rapid City also includes a VIP lunch and a photo opportunity. After the donation, those prices have been reduced to $1,500 and $500, respectively.

Ryness declined to specify the size of the donation.

For tickets, go online to Rushmore Plaza Civic Center - The Events and Sports Center o.

And this is important to you? Too bad. Your life must be REALLY boring if you are paying SO much attention to Glenn Beck or ANY entertainer for that matter. Either that or someone is PAYING you to be the "Official" Glenn Beck watcher.

Do you have a hobby? (other than Beck knocking?)

Rent free in your head, witness, rent free.

Oh Layout, I think you would be surprised how many here in the Soapbox listen and watch Beck and believe his rhetoric. That is if they would admit it. Know what I mean?

I guess. What does that have to do with why the cost of tickets is important to you? I can understand why the cost of high end non-toxic waterfowl shot is too expensive for me to shoot is important to me. That makes sense. I have to pay for it to use it. Where you going BUY tickets? I just do not understand why you even care.

Take it as a public service announcement. If anyone happened to be in the Rapid City, SD area next Tuesday, they are now informed there is 1. plenty of tickets left and 2. they have slashed the cost of the ticket in half. Should be good news to some.

 

[witness23]

Oh...and Layout, please do not pretend to be concerned for me, it is disingenuous and not very becoming of you.

You're a HOOT!! You say the above, after posting this.....

I suspect the intent was to suggest nobody was buying and prices had to be slashed to get anyone to go. I don't listen to Beck or Rush as neither interests me.

If that is so then the poster didn't read the article very closely as the second paragraph states why the ticket prices were reduced.....

Shad Olson, president of the sponsoring group, Tea Party Alliance, said in a news release that the prices were cut after the group received a large donation from the South Dakota Campaign For Liberty.

Since you have NEVER met me, and don't know me, how can you say what is disingenuous on my part? As to what is becoming or not, well, you believe what ever you wish. I hope it makes you happy.

The fact is, people are allowed to listen to what ever form of entertainment that they chose is this country. Many choose to listen to Obama and he is FAR more dangerous than Beck is. He too is only an entertainer. He HAS, however, the power of life and death in his hands. He is also a "extreme" radical, as you believe Beck is. ALL radicals, either left or right, will eventually use FORCE to install their ideas. Obama is a left wing radical. The history of the far radical left, no different than the history of the far radical right, is full of murders, mass exterminations and control of entire populations by the use of force. I therefore trust NO ONE who harbors any idea that is either far left OR right.

You are kidding right? I am just going to hold my tongue on this one. Wow!

I still wonder just why the cost of these tickets is SO interesting? I mean really, what is it? To pay attention to the cost of an item that one has no reason to or interest in buying just seems silly to me. It would be like me going on about the price of chocolate covered ants. I am not going to buy them, why would I care?

We wouldn't expect you to hold your tongue, that would be an attempt to censor you, would it not?

If you're "suggesting" that there are other reasons for the reduction in price of the tickets then you should show proof of that.......

Layout, being coy doesn't become you either. If you are not interested in the story, the thread, my opinion, then do not join in.

I read the story, I did not care about it. I am NOT being "coy" or "koy". I will join in as I see fit, Obama has yet to stop that. I asked a real question, why are those prices SO important to you? Why is Beck so important to you? Hard to understand, it make little sense to me. So I ask. When did I say I was NOT interested in your opinion? Seems to me I was asking questions ABOUT your opinion.

I think you meant "koi" not "koy", I am pretty sure "koy" is not a word, but I could be wrong.

I will join in as I see fit, Obama has yet to stop that. I asked a real question, why are those prices SO important to you? Why is Beck so important to you?

Arrrrre yoooouuu a closet Beck fan?
