For a ride too short to join the Zero Gee Club, a few bucks.  Maybe
what a day at Disneyland would cost.

For a ride long enough to join the Club, at least $100/couple.
Probably more.

For a real ride into space, the traditional price, I believe, is "my
life, fortune, and sacred honor." And that sounds entirely reasonable.
