Slow ticket sales force Palin appearance to smaller room

[Lochloosa]

Originally booked for the 2,900 seat Moran Theatre, she will now speak in the 600-seat Terry Theatre.

"An Evening of Hope with Sarah Palin" was moved from the 2,936-seat Moran Theatre to the 609-seat Terry Theatre. Both theaters are part of the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts.

Mark Nelson, Florida director for Heroic Media, said the event was moved to the Terry Theatre because there weren't enough tickets sold to hold it in the larger Moran.

"We would rather have a packed theater than a theater that's not so packed," Nelson said.

[Lochloosa]

5. It's about the same size. But they like to book funny people.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. Funny "haha," or funny like a bachelor's fridge?

[no_hypocrisy]

2. She IS a "larger Moran".

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. The Moran Theatre was too big?

They couldn't even find 2,900 morans who wanted to see Lady Blah Blah?

[pnorman]

4. "Moran Theater"?????

Even the Morans wouldn't have her! Quick, somebody dig out that "Get A Brain, Moran" placard!

[madinmaryland]

9. Get a brain, morans!

[Lochloosa]

6. Having been to the Moran Theatre many times I completely missed

the "Moran Theatre". :silly:

[Chipper Chat]

7. "An Evening of Ho with Sarah Palin"

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. Wow, the comments are BRUTAL.

Especially the one about comparing her mouth and her vagina.

[Lochloosa]

15. I just read them myself. Wow is right. This is a VERY right wing town.

Her star ain't shining so brightly anymore.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

An Evening of Hope? Srsly?

[Bitwit1234]

13. Pretty soon she will be standing in front of the restrooms

giving speeches. A captive audience for sure....no way those people could miss her.

[otohara]

14. An Evening w/ Hopey

how dare she use the word HOPE

[denimgirly]

16. Another $100K pocketed for her -- She couldnt give a damn if no one showed up.

She already got paid so if anything the less people she has to speak to the less of a chance she will get booed. She's happy i am sure.

[rucky]

17. The "evening of hope" is everywhere but that theater.

[progressoid]

18. I LOLed

The $100 seats for the event are sold out. A few $50 seats were still available through ticketmaster.com on Tuesday morning.


People pay 100 bucks to listen to that moron screech? Jeebus H, that's sad.

On the plus side, a LOT fewer are willing to do so than just a year ago.

[olegramps]

19. A "Moran" and there money easily parted.

[donal dubh]

21. he he he...

[paparush]

22. Get a Brain Moran (Theater)!! nt

[Dulcinea]

23. Same thing happened in GA recently.

She spoke to a half-capacity crowd. http://www.ajc.com/news/palin-comes-to-georgia-560598.html

She's not a popular as she thinks or as her handlers would have you believe. She's the rodeo clown of the GOP, just there as a distraction. Wonder if she realizes that, or does she not care?

[yesphan]

24. As long as

She's getting paid, she doesn't care.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

26. wonderful, thanks for the head's up.

[bullwinkle428]

asking for spare change...

[yellowcanine]

30. They couldn't find 2900 morans in Florida? They didn't look very hard.

[tishaLA]

31. Evening of Hope? From the woman who mocked hope

in her ludicrous "how's that hopey changey stuff working out for ya?" line? Seriously? Has she no self-awareness whatsoever?
