While millions will watch the third Republican presidential debate on TV, just 1,000 people will get tickets to see the event in person in the massive Coors Events Center on the scenic University of Colorado campus in Boulder.
CNBC, the cable network sponsoring the debate, didn't respond to questions about why the 11,000-seat arena would remain mostly empty.
"The way it was explained to us by CNBC is the event is meant for a TV audience, not so much for a live audience," said Ryan Lynch, the executive director of the Colorado Republican Party, which will get 200 tickets to split among party donors and elected officials.

I predict Trump will be soundly booed, while Marco and Yeb get standing ovations.
They manipulated the California debate. Why not this one?
Call the waambulance. Sheesh. Trump fanbois are so eager to see themselves as the victims. You’ve taken on the personality of your lord Trump.
Trump’s quick and should do fine.
I’m wondering if they’ll catch Carson in another gaffe. They are pumping him up to take some of Trump’s ‘outsider votes’ knowing he’s the outsider most likely to crash and burn like Fiorina did.
All bets are on Bush first and then Rubio as the RINO backup.
The fact that they NEVER..................EVER................learn anything is reason enough to insult them anywhere and all the time.
I already set my DVR to capture it.

Yep. Why does the Republican National Committee agree to such things? Oh, wait...I think I know.
There will be 20,000 standing around the monitors closest to the venues.
This coulda been a moneymaker for the Coors Events Center proprietors.
Still can be.
The cut off 20% of TV viewership by putting these debates on cable.

I wish Free Republic had a “like” button. And if you question the Trumpster you’re supportive of the GOPe in their minds

I’m doing one better. I plan on pausing the part when Trump speaks so the image stays on my tv screen for all eternity
They also manipulated the Ohio event. The audience in Ohio we’re from a GOPee workshop. It was the closing activity to the convention candidates were given only 7 tickets. Not enough for even all of their family members in some situations
Harwood is a huge leftist. His number one job tonight is to take down Trump
Why they are just going to talk about the Chamber of commerce picnic. Gotta keep their money happy.
Many have tried — few even connect let alone have a KO!
This stinks like some sort of future socialist society that uses mind control drugs.
Its all going to bite them in the arse, cause when Trump is sworn in he will straighten out the MSM BIG TIME.
Yup. I wish I were as statesmanlike as my preferred candidate, Ted Cruz. But alas, I’m just an impatient FReeper, tired of the fanboi idol worship of this loud-mouthed, thin-skinned, vitriolic reality TV star.
I think Trump is ready for Harwood. Harwood may find himself in need of some male depends. He can contact Chris Matthews on affiliate network MSNBC in an emergency.
