BOSTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is planning a campaign fundraiser at Boston's Symphony Hall.
The event is scheduled for Monday, June 25, in the historic music venue. Top seats go for $2,500 while seats in the balcony are $250. To be an event co-host costs $10,000.
Massachusetts isn't considered a battleground state with Obama holding a hefty lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney in recent polls. Still, both candidates have relied on fundraising support from the state.
Massachusetts is considered friendly territory for Obama for other reasons.
Gov. Deval Patrick is a co-chairman of Obama's reelection committee and has been visiting other states to help energize Democrats.
While he's not expected to win here, Romney has also raised money from backers in Massachusetts - a state he governed for four years.
