The most expensive ticket is listed for $4,200, giving the attendee a “suite-level ducat,” according to the New York Post.

Meet and greet tickets are selling for $2,500. The VIP package allows groups of two to take a picture with Obama, but Ticketmaster specifies that individual pictures and autographs will not be permitted.

“Free hard cover copy of Michelle Obama’s book, Becoming. Refreshments served First 2 rows, floor seating,” Ticketmaster adds.

The cheapest tickets are listed for $144 for two. Individual tickets appear to be available for $104. Floor seats are “as high as $1,300,” the Post adds.

The event comes on the heels of Obama’s Becoming tour, which also featured costly tickets.
