PARK CITY — If you want to attend Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's fundraiser in Park City next month, you'd better have a lot of cash on hand — or be able to raise it quickly.

Tickets to attend the Aug. 29 reception start at $10,000 per person, according to an invitation obtained by KSL, and prices range up to $500,000 for those who want to join the host committee of the fundraiser. A cool $35,000 will buy a photo opportunity with the former president and $150,000 will get you into a roundtable discussion as a cohost on top of the photo op.

Attendees can also get access to the reception by raising $20,000, or get a photo op by raising $70,000.

Utah Republican Party Chairman Rob Axson confirmed the validity of the invitation but did not respond to a further request for comment on the fundraiser.

It will be the first time the former president has visited Utah since 2017 when he announced reductions to the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. He was scheduled to hold a fundraiser in Park City on June 27 but plans were nixed after he agreed to debate President Joe Biden the same day.

Trump held a rally in Salt Lake City in 2016 but has not made another campaign stop in the state.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat's presumptive presidential nominee, held a fundraiser in Park City on June 28.

Trump's fundraiser is being organized by George Glass, a Trump campaign fundraiser and former ambassador to Portugal, and Marlon Bateman, a State Department official during the Trump administration.

Confirmed attendees include conservative radio host Glenn Beck; John Schnatter, the founder of Papa John's Pizza; Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton; and former acting U.S. Attorney General Matt Whitaker.
