Will there be surf at fancy dinner? Will there be turf?

Barack Obama is headed to town next week for a March 10 fundraiser for Senator Claire McCaskill and ticket prices are all over the map to see the president.

According to the AP, less affluent supporters can get a standing-room only ticket to a "grassroots reception" for $25.

Then there's the cocktail reception and presidential dinner in which tickets are going for $2,400 per person with "premier seating" at a mere $50,000.

For that price let's hope to God it's an open bar.
