The event drew about 230 people, with ­tickets starting at $1,000 per ­person. The Daily ­Princetonian reported that at least 25 students attended as guests of alumni or other supporters of President Obama. The Occupy Princeton group said in a statement that Obama had used “this rare visit to Princeton to meet with the 1 percent, accepting their money and favoring their interests and political voice over the 99 percent.”
