Michelle Obama will travel to Boston in November with TD Garden's "intimate conversation" tickets going on sale Friday morning – and the first lady's event promises to be the next show to see in town.
Presale tickets for the arena arrive on the TD Garden website on Thursday, and some have already made their way into the resale market, and many tickets are priced over $ 100. And Obama announced Thursday that she had added two more shows – reruns in New York and Washington, D.-C. – to his 10-city tour due to the demand. (Presale tickets have been offered to those who have signed up for Ticketmaster's verified fan program by Tuesday, September 18).
Tickets for the event – which arrives in Boston on Saturday, November 24 and starts at 8 pm – We expect it to start around $ 30. However, according to the Garden's website, they can go up to $ 3,000 in Boston for a VIP package.
The name of the tour – "Becoming: An Intimate Conversation with Michelle Obama" – seems a bit oxymoronic, considering that TD Garden is a 19,600-seat arena. The event, however, aims to present "intimate and honest conversations" between Obama and moderators to be announced, according to a statement from Live Nation. During the show, Obama should reflect on the experiences that shaped his life, from his childhood to his professional career until his years at the White House.
"I spent the last year and a half pondering my story as deeply and honestly as I could, and now I'm delighted to travel the country and do the same with readers this fall," Obama said in his statement. Live Nation. "I hope this tour will inspire others to think and share their own stories – all the joys and sorrows, scars and renewals – so that together we can to better recognize that each of us, in our own way, is a constant process of becoming. "
Obama's book, "Becoming," will be released on November 13 in the United States and Canada by the Crown Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House. It will also be translated into 28 different languages and an audio book read by Obama will be broadcast simultaneously.
Obama's book could serve as a revelation to his fans. She gave few details about her stay at the White House and her only other book – "American Grown", published in 2012 – is about food and gardening. (The memoirs of former first ladies are generally sold well, with notable works, including Laura Bush's Spoken from the Heart and Hillary Clinton's Living History.
The former first lady and her husband, former President Barack Obama, both signed an inked book with Penguin Random House in 2017. The operation is estimated at more than $ 30 million. The Obama have planned to give a "significant part" of their author's proceeds to charity, including the Obama Foundation.
Obama and Live Nation will also donate 10% of the tickets for each show to various charities, schools and community groups in each city during tour visits, allowing these fans to be admitted free of charge. As of Thursday, it was not clear which Boston groups would receive such tickets.
We do not know much about the next president's book, even if he should focus on his eight years at the White House.
