<\/figure>\nFollowing the success of last year\u2019s events in Dublin and London An Evening with\u00a0President Barack Obama is coming to Glasgow at the OVO Hydro. <\/p>\n
Presented by Seat Unique in conjunction with Fane, Kilimanjaro, Singular Artists and Regular Music, the evening offers a rare chance to hear directly from the 44th president. He will be in Glasgow on 14 October, part of a three-city tour that includes Belfast (13) and Manchester (15). <\/p>\n
As can be expected, nights with a president, whether or not in office, don\u2019t come cheap. A front row seat costs \u00a3595 while a photo VIP package will set you back \u00a31,500.<\/p>\n
Winning more votes than any candidate in history, President Obama took office \u201cat a moment of crisis unlike any America had seen in decades,\u201d says the launch promotion. \u201cA nation at war, a planet in peril, and the American Dream itself threatened by the worst economic calamity since the Great Depression.\u201d<\/p>\n
The organisers are lavish in their praise of Obama\u2019s tenure at the White House, stating: \u201cHis leadership helped rescue the American economy, revitalised the American auto industry,\u00a0grow the middle class, pass the Affordable Care Act, wind down two wars, and refocus\u00a0American diplomatic leadership around the world \u2013 all while overseeing the longest stretch of job\u00a0creation in American history.\u201d<\/p>\n
Post-presidency, Obama has dedicated his efforts to supporting the next\u00a0generation of leaders. The Obama Foundation is bringing that vision to life through programmes for\u00a0emerging leaders across continents, and the Foundation\u2019s mission to inspire, empower, and connect people to change their world. That legacy will carry on through the Obama Presidential\u00a0Center, which opened this summer on Chicago\u2019s South Side.<\/p>\n
Obama said: \u201cTrue democracy is a project that\u2019s much bigger than any one\u00a0of us. It\u2019s bigger than any one person, any one president, and any one government. It\u2019s a job for\u00a0all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
In each city 100 tickets will be set aside for charitable organisations.\u00a0Stuart Galbraith, CEO, Kilimanjaro and Alex Fane, CEO, Fane Group, commented: \u201cWe\u00a0are incredibly honoured to bring President Obama to the UK and Ireland for these truly special\u00a0events. His message of unity and progress resonates deeply, and we anticipate an evening that\u00a0will inspire and empower all who attend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robin Sherry, founder and CEO of Seat Unique, said: \u201cFollowing the phenomenal response to last year\u2019s events, we are delighted to bring three new opportunities for fans to experience an\u00a0evening with President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Seat Unique, we\u2019re passionate about bringing fans closer to the world\u2019s greatest live events and our premium experiences including an exclusive photo opportunity with President Barack Obama is a great example of that.
