You’re going to spend a minimum of $250 to see Hillary Clinton when she comes to The Paramount Theatre in Seattle this month for a fundraiser. Perhaps two guests help justify spending that much on “An Afternoon with Hillary Clinton.”

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are teaming up with Clinton. They’ll be the guest speakers when Clinton comes to the city on Oct. 14.

Ticket prices range from $250 to $25,000.

That’s quite a bit more than what the popular Northwest duo have charged in the past for their shows. That’s especially true for the shows during their local summer tour where they only charged $20 for tickets.
