Over a thousand spots were available at the debate, according to Green Schneider, the communications director at the South Carolina Democratic Party (SCDP). Almost 400 of these went to the SCDP itself, and these were distributed among activists, party leaders, and elected officials, she said.

As for the remaining 600 or so, some were sold to sponsors who contributed between $1,750 and $3,200 to the event and related gatherings, according to a local news station, WCSC. “This is something that the average person doesn’t usually get to go to,” one official said on local television. “These kinds of events really are set up for sponsors and things like that.”As for the remaining 600 or so, some were sold to sponsors who contributed between $1,750 and $3,200 to the event and related gatherings, according to a local news station, WCSC. “This is something that the average person doesn’t usually get to go to,” one official said on local television. “These kinds of events really are set up for sponsors and things like that.”
Were these tickets bought up by Bloomberg and others?

And confusingly, Schneider of the SCDP said that while sponsors received access to dinners and other events, they did not receive a ticket to the debate itself.Were these tickets bought up by Bloomberg and others?
