Free tickets offered for Palin event
Vaughn Ward's campaign has announced that free tickets will be available for the Sarah Palin rally this morning for an additional level of seating, and can be picked up in person starting at 9 a.m. at Qwest Arena. In addition, $10 tickets for floor seats for the event still are available through the Qwest Arena box office; children 18 and under are free. Doors open at 9 a.m. for the 11 a.m. rally; for $250 per person, Palin fans can attend a VIP reception in the SportsZone of the arena at 10 a.m.; or, for $1,000 per person, they can get a photo opportunity with the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate. The money goes to Ward's congressional campaign; he faces state Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Eagle, in the GOP primary on Tuesday for Idaho's 1st District congressional seat, now held by freshman Democratic Rep. Walt Minnick.
