How much would you pay to see President Trump in New Orleans?

By: Sarah Ulmer - May 7, 2019

According to The Advocate, President Donald Trump will have a dinner fundraiser in New Orleans next month that will cost supporters a minimum of $2,800 apiece.

Those willing to shell out $100,000 per person will get “roundtable” access, and couples can pay $35,000 for a photo with the president at the May 14 event.

Shipbuilder Boysie Bollinger and developer Joe Canizaro, Trump’s finance co-chairs for Louisiana, are listed as the event’s hosts, according to a copy of the invitation obtained by The Advocate.

Other featured guests will include Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, RNC Co-Chair Tommy Hicks Jr. and Trump Victory Finance Chair Todd Rickets.

The invitation does not identify a location. It says the address will be provided after guests RSVP and, presumably, pay up, so it’s unclear how the president’s trip may affect traffic and other logistics in New Orleans.
