Michelle Obama wants her fans to know that her book tour is all about THEM. It’s about them finding their voice and being INSPIRED!
It’s AAAALL about THEM.
And the money. It’s also all about the money.
WOAH-BAMA! $500 for a ticket and signed book at ‘Becoming’ Michelle Obama event at Philly’s @WellsFargoCtr. $2750-$3000 for a one-on-one meet and greet/photo! pic.twitter.com/yKULFDNXht

DAAAAMN, Mobama!
IT’S A FRIGGIN’ BOOK TOUR.
I thought book tours were about people buying your book and then standing in line and having you sign it for them. FOR FREE.

Yeah… not so much.
In all fairness, tickets start at 30 bucks. But you don’t get a book. Or a signature. Or to meet her. You get a bleacher seat in an arena.
Wanna do any of the things you EXPECT from a book tour? That’s gonna run you a couple grand.
And her fans are DEEEVASTATED.
I love Michelle Obama, I do. She is everything. But I am sorely disappointed in how expensive these book tour tickets are.

So I jumped the gun when I tweeted this. I was viewing book and ticket bundles, which here are $179.50. The tickets range from $29.50-2,000 HOWWWEVER *Michael Kyle voice*

Ain’t nobody tryna be in the damn nosebleeds to see MO, so you gotta be prepared to spend a little bread.

Tickets to see @MichelleObama are mad expensive! 3k! 500 for floor seats. Are there any accesible tickets?

People are ACTUALLY begging Michelle to give them tickets for free:
@MichelleObama miss. you; why so expensive for book tour? almost met President Obama at Widener Univ but ended up in hospital; trying to see in DC but can’t afford 2K for one ticket; my daughter wants to go too; pm me on FB if I can go for free; please PM me on FB love you both

“PM” means private message me.
So this woman is begging Michelle to “PM” her and give her free tickets.
…Which actually shouldn’t be surprising at all. Her husband told people for eight years they have a RIGHT to be this entitled.
So there you go.
But then…
If the $$ goes to the Trump Impeachment Fund we’re in!

It doesn’t, honey. It buys Mobama a new yacht.
