The former First Lady is set to take part in a moderated Q and A session on April 1 at the Golden 1 Centre in Sacramento. She’s touring the country in order to promote her memoir, ‘Becoming’, which continues to draw huge audiences. At a recent stop in Detroit, Michelle drew an impressive 12,000 person audience.
Michelle published her memoir, ‘Becoming’, in 2018.
The book “sold more copies than any other book published in the United States in 2018,” according to a Golden 1 Centre statement, rising to the top of The New York Times best sellers list.
With the extra date added to her tour, people are preparing for a further ridiculous price tag to be attached when tickets go on sale today.
The former FLOTUS was caught up in another Twitterstorm when she unveiled the eye-watering price of her New Jersey tour.
The speaking events which have been named ‘Moderated Conversation’ have ticket prices of over £3000 ($3926).
The cheapest prices for one of the events at the Prudential Centre on Ticketmaster are $144 (£115.14).
But the floor seat prices hike up to around $1300 (£1039.50).
While a meet and greet ticket with the former FLOTUS fetches up to around $2500 (£1999.04).

Previously, Twitter savaged the former FLOTUS for the eyewatering price tags.
One user said: “Hard pass!”
Another user angrily responded: “You would need to pay me $4,200.00 to listen to this person.”
Another said: “Wouldn’t attend if tickets were free.
“Most overhyped person in US history.
“What exactly has she ever done besides marry Barack Obama who in turn has accomplished very little.”
Before becoming First Lady, Michelle attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School.
She had a career as an attorney at a Chicago Law firm called Sidley & Austin, where he also met her husband Barack Obama.
She then worked at the Chicago mayor’s office, the University of Chicago and the University of Chicago Medical Centre.
