As the first African-American first lady, Michelle Obama spearheaded initiatives toward healthier living, advocated for veterans, and encouraged young people — especially young girls — to pursue education past high school. Not to mention she’s widely considered the epitome of poise and grace.
Although Obama has repeatedly said that a presidential run is out of the question, there’s a chance to bask in her aura on Mar. 28 at Oakland’s Oracle Arena. The appearance is billed as a “moderated conversation,” but at the moment there’s no information on who will interview the former FLOTUS. Regardless, with her storied career in law, education, and politics, it should make for a fascinating discussion.
Tickets for the talk, starting at $93.50, go on sale to the general public on Feb. 26, but there’s a presale on Ticketmaster that starts Friday, Feb. 23, at 10am. The Ticketmaster site has no details about accessing that presale, but appearances in other cities by the former First Lady have used the presale code “OBAMA.” [Update: This does not work for Oakland.]
The presale code announced for Oakland is “MICHELLE” — as of 10am Friday, it works to unlock VIP packages and special offers.
