Carly Fiorina won't be the only Republican presidential candidate in the Atlanta area on Tuesday.

The campaign of Dr. Ben Carson announced Thursday that the one-time GOP front runner will hold a campaign rally from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Cobb Energy Center. General admission tickets are free and are available on Carson's website. A $500 offering will get you VIP seating and access to a private reception and photo opp with the candidate.

Carson was last in the state in October, when he visited Gainesville and called for a return to God and an end to the "PC police."

Fiorina, meanwhile, previously announced a Tuesday afternoon "Conversation with Carly" event in Midtown.
