Social media users are discussing the Saturday appearance from Kanye West and Barack Obama at San Francisco's Warfield Theatre.
The afternoon event, a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee expected to include a musical performance by West, is open to the public and ticket prices range from $250 for general admission to $10,000 for "VIP clutch."
West's wife Kim Kardashian tweeted her intention to attend the proceedings, which was retweeted almost 1,000 times, favorited more than 3,000 times and received reactions including praise for her potential as a future First Lady (a nod to West's recent announcement that he wants to run for President in 2020) and lots of complaints about not having a student price.
"$100 still too much for students," tweeted one.
Reactions have ranged from anger and bemusement to amusement. Even comedian Roseanne Barr jumped to join into the numerous humorous voices in the discussion when she tweeted "to paraphrase Kanye West, Obama doesn't care about Jewish people."
