So in other words, the doners will populate the audience. Look for Bush/Rubio to get ovations while Trump/Cruz to get boos.
These debates are becoming worthless. Reince Priebus is running a circus.

Priebus is a dick who is singlehandedly ruining the GOP as a movement. At least Michael Steele's heart was in the right place.
They need to set the stage for a contested/brokered convention since it appears obvious nobody can torpedo Trump, not even himself and one way to try and do that is to control the 'audience' reaction when Trump says his populist jingoism's to make it seem like he is no longer connected to Joe and Jill Six Pack.
Fucking pathetic bunch of losers who will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory if they are not careful. If they think turnout suffered due to their spinelessness in '12 just wait.....

You don't think that's how every debate is handled, on both sides of the aisle?
What, do you think it should be opened up to the random public, so Democrat supports or Black Lives Matter protesters can get in to disrupt the debate?
I tried to get into the Milwaukee GOP debate. There were only something like 3,800 tickets, and I didn't get a ticket. Oh well. I'm sure the bigger donors had a better chance than I did. Such is life.

I don't disagree. I just think that the argument about the ticket allocation is silly.

Pretty much. Heaven forbid the great unwashed (a.k.a. - voters) actually get to take part. Money talks, BS walks - its the American way. ;)

The candidates take part. The audience watches. Opening up a private event to anyone off the street can lead to interruption, protests, and silencing the candidates. We've seen that with Code Pink, Black Lives Matter, and other liberals.
The audience can watch on TV. I have no problem with the candidates' supporters' being invited to attend.
