How much would you pay to watch former president George W. Bush and Bill Clinton take the stage in an “uncensored, unedited and unpredictable” debate?

How about $1,250?

That’s the high end for tickets to the debate, scheduled for Feb. 25 in New York City, according to the New York Post. Seats start at $60.

The debate, at Radio City Music Hall, is part of a series called “Minds That Move The World.” The speakers series has also hosted A-list political celebrities such as Karl Rove and Al Gore.

MSG Entertainment is billing the event as the “hottest political ticket in history.”

Maybe. But Clinton and Bush met for a “moderated conversation” in Toronto earlier this year, where they had a pleasant, friendly chat. Bush jokingly welcomed the audience to the “Bill and George Show,” and Clinton promised to “thwart” a spectacle many hoped to see.

Tickets for that event went as high as $2,500.
