UK Guardian ^ | November 8, 2018 | Rob Davies

Dozens of tickets to see Michelle Obama speak at London’s Royal Festival Hall have been snapped up by touts and are already on sale for more than £70,000 on the controversial ticket resale website Viagogo.

Minutes after the phone lines opened for seats at a talk by the former first lady, Viagogo – based in Switzerland – was already offering seats for more than 570 times face value.

While the South Bank Centre has set a price for the event of between £30 and £125, the most expensive ticket listed on Viagogo at time of writing was £72,181 for a box seat.

That money we sent to be laundered in Tehran has to make its way back to the architect somehow?

£70,000

That must be how much she has to pay someone to sit through her show. (I'm not sure the number is high enough for me yet.)

Not a ha-penny. (It’s been a while so forgive any misspellings) How about a farthing?

They’d have to pay me more than that to listen to her- Wait a minute you mean that is what people are paying to HEAR her? I’m guessing she couldn’t fill a high school gym in the USA for free. I guess she’s a lot more popular in ultra liberal England than she is here.

Roughly $40 to $165.

$94,565. Is that for one seat, or the whole box? How many seats in a box, 4, 6, or 8?
