The former first lady is scheduled to sit down with former NPR host Michele Norris at TD Garden on Saturday night, as part of her cross-country book tour to promote her new memoir, “Becoming.” According to Vivid Seats spokesman Stephen Spiewak, the average price of a single ticket already sold on their site for her appearance is $214.
