My sources tell me there are NO public tickets for the Brooklyn debate.

(and don't think I didn't try...)

All seats are going to electeds, Party leaders, etc.

1. Bet there's going to be a lot of Wall St folks invited.

Good tactic to prevent the crowd from going wild for Sanders like it did last time.

Hillary also has lots of leverage over those people (officials) to make them stay quiet or even boo.

[brooklynite]

3. Seriously, no...

...the candidates aren't getting allocations of seats for their supporters (financial or otherwise).

[NWCorona]

4. I'm sure they will get some allocation

But yeah, this will be a party insider event.

That’s to bad as I know you wanted to go.

9. the dnc in ny seems to try and make everything a "little tent''

the idea that a person has to declare which party they want to vote in 6 months before the primary is crazy if we want to expand the democratic party

what is really telling is that the op here is not enough of an insider to get in

clearly his donations were not big enough to buy access, so what chance do the rest of us have?

[revbones]

5. So just elected officials she has in the tank due to her Victory Fund scam and her naughty list nt.

[scscholar]

2. The elite hate the people

Hate the people.

[NWCorona]

6. They want to control the crowds reaction.

[grasswire]

7. white noise, too. nt

[NWCorona]

8. Yup! That story will gain traction just you wait!

10. How large is the venue?

I keep on wishing the debates would be held without an audience of any kind. It would be much more informative to listen to candidates answering questions without any cheering, booing, any crowd response at all.

I'm reminded of the fact that after the first Nixon/Kennedy debate in 1960, people who saw it on TV generally thought that JFK won, because the visuals were so much better for him than for Nixon. Those who listened on the radio were more likely to think Nixon won, because all they had to go on was what the two men actually said.

So, I vote no audience of any kind for a debate.
