Wake County Republicans don't want there to be any confusion about a "town hall rally" they are hosting next month.

The rally is a fundraiser for the Wake County GOP, said John Byrnes, a spokesman for the county party. People will not be able to attend for free, like they might expect for a town hall rally, he said.

Tickets to the event will cost $50 per person. For $250 per person, pepole can get into a "VIP Reception" with U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, the featured speaker at the event.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 1, at the N.C. State Fairgrounds.
