Visit to Baikonur is not that expensive. And yes, you can reserve visitor place for the next manned launch.
And you know all about this, right?
The first program:
The first program is Tour to Baikonur during the Launch of Manned Space Flight. We give you the opportunity of standing only 5 meters from the Soyuz rocket, when the great doors of the Baikonur Cosmodrome Soyuz integration hall, open and the space rocket is being transported on a special track to the Gagarinksy launch pad, which is 2 kilometers away. You will see the bravest people in the world – the Cosmonauts, who are ready to leave the Earth and fly away to the unknown stars. Just think where you would be standing when rocket blasts off from only 2 km in away! Who knows, maybe the next flight would be with you on board! Please see the Itinerary of this trip.
Price per person for Tour to Baikonur is 3,300 EURO.
Thanks for taking the time to put that up.
I might just sign up for this - it could be interesting indeed, as long as I can get footage of what I said earlier on.
You see, a mile away is a long distance to actually see cosmonauts enter into a rocket without exiting before launch.
Anyway, having said that, I noticed something interesting...see what you think.
Here's a portion of text from your site you put up.

There are not many places in the world where you can experience this type of drama. We offer you the chance of visiting the legendary Russian cosmodrome at "Baikonur," in Kazhakhztan, where the history of space exploration started many years ago.
The first satellite in the world, "Sputnik," was launched in 1957, from Cosmodrome Baikonur and since the first manned space flight of Yuri A. Gagarin on 12th April 1961, there have been over 1,200 spacecraft launched from here.1957 to present day is 57 years. That means approximately 21 rockets were launched each year, every year for 57 years to present day...OR...to put it more simply, one space rocket launch every 2 weeks, roughly.
Does this seem plausible to you, seriously?
Do they simply forget themselves when they say these things?
You pay a fortune to go to Disneyland and get told about seeing mickey mouse and all the other characters.
Maybe this is a similar version where they show you the big model stood up which is made of composite materials covering a ballistic missile which is only launched when you're over a mile away or whatever.
Possible right?
The proof in the pudding is in the eating I suppose.
