Is this fake? 51 dollar fundraiser with nobody showing up?

Saw this on drudge, this doesn't sound right but if its true, its pretty sad to have a HOME TOWN event and nobody cares?

Obama is having a fundraiser in chicago for a $51 admission and the room is only half full?

I thought people paid thousands for this sort of thing. Now obviously for 51 bucks you probably only get a brief look and talk from the president and no dinner but still. Half a room?

The liberals are spinning it more positively but the numbers are about the same as reported in the tweet.
