The world is so looking forward to Michelle Obama’s new memoir Becoming, a book she wants referred to as so “honest” that she’s terrified. The book tour is selling like hot cakes, though. 

The 10-city tour was organized by Live Nation, the global event company that typically organizes concerts, and will begin in her hometown of Chicago and conclude at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, a venue equipped for 19,000 attendees.

Tickets are costing $1,256 for premium seats and $3,000 for special meet-and-greet packages. A statement on Live Nation’s website notes that the presentation will “feature intimate and honest conversations between Mrs. Obama and a selection of to-be-announced moderators, reflective of the extraordinary stories shared in the wide-ranging chapters of her deeply personal book.”

Presales for the dates began on Thursday. According to a seating chart on Ticketmaster, the new dates have few tickets left.

“Truly humbled by the response to my upcoming book tour,” she tweeted. “I can’t wait to share BECOMING with all of you & hope to see you somewhere along the way!”
