Bay Area residents can expect a double-whammy of presidential fundraising later this month, and a bevy of protests to go along with it.

Shortly after news broke this week of President Barack Obama’s July 23 fundraising trip to Piedmont and Oakland, invitations surfaced for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s events in Woodside and San Francisco on July 22.

Protesters are expected to flock to both.

In fact, a call for protesters to gather outside the president’s 4:30 p.m. event at the Fox Theater on Oakland’s Telegraph Avenue went forth Thursday on the San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center’s website.

“I hope you’ll be able to come out, so we can give our President a real East Bay unwelcome, and let him know we’re not happy that he does not have our backs when the big banks foreclose our homes, corporations are allowed to pollute and leave brown fields behind, neighborhood schools are being closed, the police kill people of color with no accountability … and the feds are raiding our cannabis clubs,” the post said. “The time is now. This is our big chance.”

All $100 and $250 seats for the Fox Theater event are sold out. But VIP seating tickets remain at $1,000, or $7,500 for event-sponsor status, including admission to a photo reception. Sponsors can then bring additional guests to the photo reception for $2,500 each.

The president also is scheduled to attend a $35,800-a-plate dinner reception starting

at 4:15 p.m. at the Piedmont home of progressive activist-attorney Quinn Delaney and her husband, real estate developer Wayne Jordan, among Obama’s foremost “bundlers.”

And the president earlier that day will hold a round-table for tech leaders — also at $35,800 per person — at an East Bay location yet to be disclosed.

But Romney will be in the Bay Area sooner, with three events scheduled for the day before the president’s visit.

Romney will have a $50,000-a-head luncheon at the Woodside home of Tom Siebel, founder of C3 and Siebel Systems. Among those scheduled to attend: former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz; Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman; Sun Microsystems cofounder Scott McNealy; and Howard Leach, the former U.S. ambassador to France.

Then Romney heads for a 4:45 p.m. event at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, with tickets ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. Former San Francisco Giants managing general partner Peter Magowan will be among the hosts there.

Romney will cap the day with a 6:30 p.m. dinner in Pacific Heights hosted by Shaklee Corp. chairman and CEO Roger Barnett, with a $50,000-a-person price tag.

Campbell, CA (PRWEB) July 04, 2012

Bay Area ticket broker Top Notch Seats is now offering a wide selection of tickets to 2012 concerts being held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, including Steve Miller Band, KISS, Rock the Bells, Toby Keith, Big Time Rush and many more.

“The amphitheater is a little slice of musical heaven located in the inner shore along the southern edge of the San Francisco Bay,” says Paul Hillig of Top Notch Seats. “The venue is one of the most heralded in the North American tour circuit and your chance to secure quality tickets at reasonable prices is here now at your fingertips.”

Since it opened in 1986, some of the world’s biggest musical stars have performed their craft underneath the iconic double-spires white tent at Shoreline Amphitheatre. As a result, Shoreline concert tickets have been some of the hottest items in the Bay Area for nearly three decades.

Shoreline’s summer and fall schedule will bring a bevy of North America’s favorite bands and soloists to the stage, and Shoreline concerts are almost always sold out well in advance of the performance date. The amphitheater will certainly be full of eager young fans come July 22nd, as the boy band Big Time Rush will be performing.

The Steve Miller Band, Brad Paisley and Toby Keith will all be showing off their latest hits as well as the classics that their large fan bases expect. A mid-August show starring legends of rock KISS and Motley Crue is sure to bring fans from all over Northern California and beyond the San Francisco Bay Area. Rascal Flatts and also Linkin Park will be making stops at Shoreline Amphitheatre in September.

Less than 7,000 reserved seating tickets are available for each show at Shoreline, and dozens of them could sell over the internet in the matter of a few minutes. Folks that aren’t able to get themselves a reserved seat still have an opportunity to purchase Shoreline concert tickets from TopNotchSeats.com, typically at a rate lower than that of an average ticket broker.

Front man Dave Matthews has openly proclaimed that the Shoreline Amphitheater is one of his favorite venues to play in the entire world, and he will be bringing his amazingly talented band to the stage underneath the white tent for a quaint Sunday evening show on September 9th. Those that are interested in securing tickets to the DMB should get themselves to TopNotchSeats.com sooner rather than later.
