The former first lady is
embarking on a 10-city swing to engage an "intimate conversation" with
her fans and to tell stories from her upcoming memoir, "Becoming."
Presale
for tickets opened Thursday, and within hours, Obama had tweeted that
she was adding two more dates. The tour is set to begin on November 13,
the day the book releases publicly, in Obama's hometown of Chicago.
Just minutes after general public ticket
sales opened at 11 a.m. ET Friday, most tickets -- including all priced
at $29.50, the cheapest fare -- had sold out for the first event in
Chicago, a CNN reporter who witnessed the electronic ticket scrum on
Ticketmaster found.
That
left just a handful of "front-row" packages for $500, including a copy
of the book, the vendor's page showed. Also available were some "VIP
Packages," offering a chance to sit in the front row, meet Obama and
take home a signed copy of "Becoming" and a "special VIP gift." Those
cost at least $2,500.
No $29.50
tickets were available by early Friday afternoon in any tour city, the
Ticketmaster website showed. Ticketmaster did not immediately respond to
CNN's request for comment.

There are still plenty of copies of Michelle Obama book available on Amazon and you can purchase it by clicking the link below. I will definitely be purchasing it myself and probably do an in dept review about it but I don't want to do that just yet until after her tour is over with to be fair.
