Officials at the CNE are offering tickets at a bargain price for this afternoon's speech by former U.S. president Bill Clinton at BMO Field, after only a third of available tickets were sold as of late Friday. Only 7,200 of the 20,000 available tickets have been sold for Clinton's speech, which will be entitled "Embracing our common humanity." In an attempt to fill seats, CNE organizers have announced that spectators can pay an extra $5 on top of the $15 admission fee to the Ex to gain entry to Clinton's speech. There is a $2.50 handling fee, as well. "President Clinton has never spoken in front of such a large audience here in Canada, so we're doing a lot of firsts here," CNE communications director Chris McDowall told CTV Toronto. The price drop is a significant reduction from the top ticket price of $50.

Imagine that.

Communist droolings are diminishing in popularity.

Maybe they can garner a few more ticket sales by promising to play one of Castro’s six-hour tirade speeches.

Why don’t they do what everyone else is doing. Just say that Sarah Palin will be there.

Guess the bloom is off the rose for the Clinton’s as well as the Obama’s.

GOOD NEWS!

They could try hiring the Dixie Chicks to be the opening act for Bubba. That should bring in all the fans.

Well they would have to pay me a LOT more than $50 to get me to attend.

Plus air fare and hotel, of course.

If you want to sell commie droolings, don't do it in a socialist state. The people there have already heard it all for free.

Poor Bubba. He has become a pathetic figure. How far he has fallen.

Clinton's speech, which will be entitled "Embracing our common humanity."

Especially if that humanity is wearing a beret and a blue dress.

Great line. I thought the same thing when I read the title of the article.
