NASA hasn't allowed any regular people to ride on the Shuttle since Sharon Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher to fly in space, was killed in the Challenger explosion. Space Adventures will get you a ride on a Russians Soyuz for $30 million or so, depending on the current dollar to ruble exchange rate. Virgin Galactic is preparing to offer suborbital rides for $200,000. Those rides have not started yet but should commence in a few years.

How Much Does It Cost To Go To Space

A shuttle launch is pretty much a round billion a pop. So with a crew of six we are looking at $150 million or so per person. If you don't count the pilot, co-pilot, payload specialist etc. (they wouldn't pay on a commercial flight either!), the shuttle could probably carry two to four passengers. At $250 million per ticket...
And I don't think they are selling that ride, yet, or ever.
The only commercial operations are the Russians with the Soyuz. That's a much safer ride, anyway, and at $25 million or so quite affordable, if you are a billionaire.
A typical commercial space launch with a high reliability carrier is $20-$80 million, depending on the size of the payload and where it needs to go. That's for satellites, not manned.
Space ain't cheap. And I doubt it will get much cheaper than a couple million for an orbital ride before 2030 or 2040. All this talk about commercial operators being much cheaper is nice talk but the physics of rocketry does not change. You still need to blow up a controlled bomb below someone to get them to orbit. There is no truly "cheap" shortcut for that problem. At least not cheap if you are on my salary.

Currently it is about $20,000 per pound of weight to send something into space. You must bear in mind YOU consume 10 pounds per day of air, water and food. That must also be included in the deal.

If you aren't a billionaire you don't want to know. Unless you have money that's near $1 billion in value then you can think about the price.

It will cost you about $100,000 per pound.
