After months of reflecting, hiking, and the occasional Broadway show, former presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is ready for the spotlight again.

Her new memoir, What Happened, includes a book tour with stops all over North America starting next month--and it should be very interesting.

"In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I've often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net," she told Rolling Stone about the book tour. "Now, I'm letting my guard down."

Tickets are available to see the woman many thought (and hoped) would be the first female president of the United States.

Obviously, that didn't happen, so we get to hear about Russian interference and what it was like to debate "a creep." The first event in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 18 is already sold out. But the tour runs through mid-December.

Some criticism is coming down for ticket prices, which vary based on the venue. At her Toronto event on Sept. 28, tickets start at $79. A VIP "platinum" package is $3,000 and includes front-row seating for two and a backstage meet-and-greet. At a later Florida event the ticket range is $50 to $375, so not that outrageous.

It certainly beats paying $40 for a hat from Donald Trump.
