Palin tickets selling well


11/4/2009



By the Salina Journal

Tickets to hear former Alaska governor Sarah Palin are going, going, but not yet gone, Salina Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Dennis Lauver said Tuesday.

"Sales continue to be exceptionally brisk," Lauver said.

He said anyone who wants to attend the chamber's annual banquet Feb. 5 to hear the former Republican vice presidential candidate should call the chamber at 827-9301, click on the Web site at www.salinakansas.org, or visit the chamber office at 120 W. Ash.

He said that by today, the 1,408 seats on the main floor likely will be sold out to chamber members and gallery seating opportunities will be made available. Gallery tickets, which will not include the dinner, will cost $25 for chamber members and nonmembers.

Tickets became available to chamber members Monday and will go on sale to nonchamber members starting Dec. 2.

"Everything's being handled on a first-come, first-served basis," Lauver said.

He said calls have come in from Missouri and western Kansas, and ticket requests are being placed on a waiting list.

"We like the idea of people from out of town coming, but our first priority is chamber members," Lauver said.

He said he appreciated the interest and patience people have shown with the ticket process.

FILE- This Aug. 1, 2008, file photo show than Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, center, addressing members of the media and legislators during a news conference following the Senate's approval of the TransCanada proposal under the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act to build a gas pipeline, in Juneau, Alaska. Palin hit the vice presidential campaign trail last year and touted what Alaska could provide for the rest of America, a natural gas pipeline to help lead the country to energy independence. When a pipeline might be built remains a giant question for Alaskans who need the project to support a vulnerable economy and for the Lower 48 states that need the gas, and a petroleum economist who spent more than 25 years in the Alaska Department of Revenue says it may never happen under Palin's plan.
