I would probably pay a few hundred (maybe even $1k or so) for the joyride
you described (an hour or two in space), but that is only because it is so
short.  If you lengthen the 0g stay to several days, I would mortgate <insert
your favorite exageration>.  The tradeoff for me is one of space sickness.  If
the thing is only going to last a few hours, I would be afraid of being too
sick to enjoy it!  Give me a couple days for my inner ear to settle down
followed by a day or so to play, and name your price!  I'll go!  Make a
trip to the moon, and you don't even have to say much about safety!  (Shades
of Robert Heinlein's "The Man Who Sold the Moon"/"Requiem")
