They are so stupid! Brad Parscale says they have sold 800,000 ticket to IQ45's rally

So I checked at the venue and this is what it says.


"The BOK Center, or Bank of Oklahoma Center, is a 19,199-seat multi-purpose arena and a primary indoor sports and event venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United"

So probably they're encouraging people to say they want a ticket they don't have to buy, and won't use as they're nowhere near Oklahoma. This is all Parscale gaslighting to pretend that a million MAGAts are willing to risk their health to see Trump.

Second, it's such an obvious lie. Exactly what we've come to expect from this group of pathological liars. They want tRump to say that "over a million people" wanted to come and see Dear Leader. He will repeat that lie from now thru the election.

I believe that a lot of people are going to show up and not get in. Given the amount of pre-rally alcohol that Trumpsters tend to consume, it could make for a dangerous situation.

Nobody is paying for these tickets, they're taking orders online.

If memory serves, there are a lot of (sneaky) Democrats who've been known to request tickets for these events, and then they become no-shows. Certainly that's been done before, and Brad Parscale is making sure this event gets oversold for that reason.

Anyone who put their name in for the tickets also got added to their GOP donor's list, I have no doubt.

are bought by Parscale and the Pac? Remember the elevator ride that started all this, when we discovered the attendees were all paid $50 a piece? I imagine there are many unemployed people who can be bought to attend this circus, risking their health and families health for the cash. What a FARCE, this entire administration of liars and con artists is. Maybe they will take photos of food banks, saying the lines of people are waiting to get into the rally?

I remember in 2018, when fewer people showed up for Chump's rallies. They couldn't fill a big room so they moved it to a smaller room and crowded everyone together. When the photographer uses a smaller lens, it suggests that the entire room is full, but in reality it's only a few hundred people. They do shit like that all the time.

This is more propaganda trump likely demanded he use promoting these spread the virus rally's which trumps likely paying people to attend , again, not he has huge numbers wanting to attend, and this is more lies and pr promotions than the truth. This will make trump a super spreader doing this. Maybe people were refusing to attend unless they got paid more, and behind this trump propaganda, and why he's claiming this. They're having troubles getting trump supporters to a virus spreading rally. Who would of guessed?

So, you'd have to have everybody over 6 years old in greater Tulsa asking for tickets, and then another 400+ thousand travelers, who if they really existed would be staying 25 to a room!
It's a made up number.

[link:https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/tulsa-population/|]

The population within the city limits of Tulsa is about 396,543.

The city anchors the Tulsa Metropolitan Area, which has a population of about 953,000, while the greater Tulsa-Muskogee-Bartlesville Combined Statistical Area (CSA) has a population of 1.12 million. Tulsa has the 54th largest metropolitan region in the United States.

Keep in mind that in rallies in the past, the overwhelming majority of people came from the general metropolitan region that the rally was in. For example, the Phoenix Metropolitan area has more almost 5 million people, so 5,000 to 20,000 people showing up at a Trump rally is quite possible. The whole greater Tulsa area only has 1.12 million people, and yet the Trump campaign sold 800,000 tickets? Parscale is doing what he always does--lying like a dog.

Broadly speaking, you want the room packed (the worst outcome is a space that's half empty):




You also want replacements for people who register but don't show up.

Additionally, some campaigns (Trump especially) like the idea of an outside crowd that couldn't get in ("We had to turn away XXXX people!" ) Sanders almost always had an "overflow" crowd:

.

The only difference is Trump's level of overflow.
