If you want to see Michelle Obama<\/a> next month in Fort Worth, it\u2019ll cost you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tickets for the National Juneteenth Museum\u2019s \u201cA Conversation with Michelle Obama\u201d start at $300, according to ticketing information obtained by The Dallas Morning News. \u201cPremium seating\u201d is on sale for $750 and “Preferred seating” is available for $500.<\/p>\n

In addition to event admission, the tickets offer a one-year inaugural museum membership and a copy of Obama’s book\u00a0The Look. The Preferred ticket category includes these perks, but offers a preferred seating location and complimentary admission to the museum’s opening exhibition and artist talk. The Premium tier adds a private early access to the completed museum ahead of its public opening along with everything previously mentioned.<\/p>\n

There was an early ticket sale offered to members of the museum’s mailing list, but sales opened for the general public at 6 p.m. Wednesday and followed the same pricing structure. You can buy tickets here<\/a>, while supplies last.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The National Juneteenth Museum did not respond to The News’ request for more ticketing information.<\/p>\n

The starting price of $300 was met with disappointment by some commenters on Reddit,<\/a> who said they could not afford to attend. Others commented that the ticket prices could be a way for the museum to raise funds.<\/p>\n

The Oct. 7 event with the former first lady is scheduled to last two hours and is part of a wider celebration for Opal Lee<\/a>‘s 100th birthday. The “grandmother of Juneteenth” is being honored with several events in her hometown, including a ceremony to mark the start of construction on the permament National Juneteenth Museum site in Historic\u00a0Southside Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

The talk with Obama will take place downtown at the Fort Worth Convention Center and will be moderated by\u00a0Matrice Ellis-Kirk, the chair-elect of the Communities Foundation of Texas and CEO of the Ellis Kirk Group. The event is presented by the museum’s Uniting Voices Speaker Series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you want to see Michelle Obama next month in Fort Worth, it\u2019ll cost you.\u00a0 Tickets for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":438702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1638,143592,116,118,117,91555,88643,122233],"class_list":["post-438701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-brief","tag-dwf-celebrities","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-tp-celebrities","tag-tp-fort-worth","tag-tp-juneteenth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/438702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
