March 28, 2019 ItsHipHop Leave a comment

Michelle Obama’s memoir Becoming sold over 10 million copies, and is on the verge of being the best-selling memoir ever!

Our Forever First Lady is the writer of one of the most popular books of the decade. The CEO of the parent company of publisher Penguin Random House, German media powerhouse Bertelsmann, Thomas Rabe announced Barack Obama’s numbers along with his predictions.

“We believe this could become the most successful memoir ever,” Rabe told reporters in Berlin, according to Bloomberg.

The Obama family has been bringing in great business to the Bertelsmann powerhouse. Barack’s book was the company’s highest selling book in more than a decade, raking in $20 billion in total sales last year.

September 24, 2018 ItsHipHop Leave a comment

Michelle Obama is hitting the road this fall for upcoming tour for her memoir, Becoming.

The fans will be able to see the former First Lady up close-and-personal for $30-$3,000. But according to the ticket sales, the $30 tickets are sold out. Depending on your city some the lowest prices for tickets are above the $30 minimum. For example Inglewood, CA, the lowest is $125.

The book is set to be in stores November 13th, the same day that her tour kicks off. The cheapest single ticket you one of the tours are $850, that’s if you are in Washington on Nov. 25th. Some of the packages can sell up to a whopping $3000 if you’re trying to go VIP.

The exclusive packages – that ranges from $2,500 – $3000 includes a meet-and-great packages with the former first lady and it’s only a limited amount so get on it ASAP.

Here are some of the fans thoughts of the prices.

I guess us normals can't buy tickets to see Michelle Obama here in NorCal. Allegedly ticket prices went as low as $26 but the cheapest that popped up on Ticketmaster were $450.

I love me some Michelle Obama but these ticket prices are completely ridiculous. $775-$3000 to go to a stadium book signing is too much!

I need the people complaining about Michelle Obama’s ticket prices to stop. 1. ALWAYS have a strategy for popular events. 2. Log on early. Of course no reasonable prices show up now when they went on sale at 10 am. 3. More tickets will be on sale tomorrow. Today was presale.

You hoodrats complaining about how much Michelle Obama’s tickets are but spent your whole rent on Beyonce tickets, don’t even deserve to go. This event is not for you if you have a problem with ticket prices #MichelleObama #BookTour #KNOWLEDGE #motivation pic.twitter.com/yvRAD21ApD

The fans that pay the top dollar to see Michelle for the VIP special will get a photo opportunity, a signed book, and other VIP essentials.

Michelle Obama is doing a 10-date tour stop to major cities including Chicago, New York, and Washington DC. Obama plans to donate 10% of the ticket sales to charity.

JOIN ME ON MY BOOK TOUR! www.becomingmichelleobama.com #IAmBecoming I’m from the South Side of Chicago. I went to Princeton and Harvard. I’m a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. I’ve been a lawyer, a nonprofit leader, a hospital executive, and First Lady of the United States. I like to call these my “stats” – the shorthand we all seem to default to whenever we tell our stories. Where are you from? What do you do? What school did you go to? As I’ve written my memoir, BECOMING, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my story, mining it for the kinds of details I’d usually just brush off or even forget about—the narrow taillights of my father’s car, a talk with my mother on a drive home, the heat of my daughter’s forehead when she ran a fever. And in doing so, I’ve realized that those surface-level “stats” don’t really tell my story at all. This fall, I’d like to share that fuller story with all of you on my book tour. It’s the story of my humdrum plainness, my tiny victories, my lasting bruises, my ordinary hopes and worries. It’s the story of who I am, truly, and I’m proud of it—blemishes and all. Go to BecomingMichelleObama.com to find out where I’ll be and how to get tickets. #IAmBecoming I hope to see you somewhere along the way!
