Clintons' speaking tour event in Toronto had 83% of the seats empty (Awww gee whiz alert)

Apparently the Clintons’ political life is set to end not with a bang but a whimper. I wonder what kind of envy Bill and Hillary Clinton experienced over the jam-packed arenas -- with thousands listening outside -- that President Trump always has, as they gazed out at the more than 15,000 empty seats facing them last night in Toronto on their stadium speaking tour. Even though curtains were erected cutting the arena in half, the vacant seats far outnumbered the occupied ones. The UK Daily Mail reports 3,300 tickets were sold in the Scotiabank Arena, which holds 19,800, 16.6% of capacity.

Perhaps even more humiliating, while ticket prices began at $53 (Canadian), the UK Daily Mail reported that "One ticket was going for $6.55 in the final minutes before the event."

If there are video by ‘the press’ we can rest assure that they made it look like the room was filled to the rafters.

The press lies... anyone got CNN tapes?

"I just think the optics of going to an event where people are paying to see them, and they are financially gaining from this, I am not sure that is the right way to reingratiate them back into the public sphere," said a former Clinton aide.

Money grubbers until the bitter end... they'll have collection cups sticking out of their gravestones...

Uncontrollable coughing usually precedes speaking with forked tongue.

What is the old bag trying to prove, eh?

Just waiting for them to meet her evil twin Payback.

“I thought they canceled the tour due to lack of ticket sales.”

IIRC they cancelled dates for which no tickets had been sold.
I imagine some dates it was cheaper to actually do the event, even with greatly reduced ticket sales, than it was to pay the late cancellation penalties.
Or maybe they just thought their presence would draw the adoring throngs to the door. Wrong!

Someone like Soros buys up all the tickets to hide the bribes.

I remember when she had, I think her first, book hit the bookstores, and stories of union people buying up vast amount of copies to up the sales figures.

The Las Vegas Review Journal has published articles on the demands of Hillary during her visits. I remember a couple of them. Hotel maids and others were instructed to avoid eye contact and speaking to her. It was also reported that she traveled with her own special Port-a-potty. The same was true of Barbara Streisand visits. Our founding fathers rejected any American royalty with good reason. We should do the same for such as politicians, media darlings, etc.

“>>>3,300 tickets were sold <<<

That’s about $10 million in the Clinton ledger?

When the “cancellation” story first came out, I checked out ticket availability for this venue...just curious. Seating chart showed that seats in part of lower level (behind curtain?) and entire upper level would NOT be used.

“Sold” is the operative word. Clinton’s are all about the Benjamins.

Gotta admit - - you almost never see the wide angle shots of a democrat gathering. The American press is so corrupt they never take those pictures - or maybe they ‘take them’ but never release ‘em...

"They may not even cover their expenses at this rate."

I give them two more tries before the kill this tour idea altogether. They are probably trying to figure out who to blame the failure on right now.
