Louis C.K. bypasses Ticketmaster

Post by chippewa »

I have a new hero :D
In an effort to deter scalping, he pledged that any tickets sold above the original price will be canceled...Louis C.K. said booking venues had been "a real challenge."

About a year ago I reached a place where I realized I am making enough money doing comedy so the next thing that interested me is bringing your price down," he told fans. "Either way, I still make a whole lot more than my grandfather who taught math and raised chickens in Michigan."

From his website:

Ticketholders are admitted subject to the following stipulations.

By clicking the buy link and purchasing a ticket to this event, you agree to the following:

This is a revocable license for admittance.

We reserve the right to change the method of delivery to Will Call (pick-up at the box office) at any time after purchase. If we make this change the ticket(s) may be picked up within 2 hours of the show’s start time and a photo ID and the charge card used for the purchase will be required to claim the ticket.

Tickets may not be resold for any amount above face value.

If the ticket is found to be offered for resale above face value we may invalidate the barcode and refund the ticket price.

He's not the first to bypass Ticketmaster. He also sold one of his comedy specials on DVD for $5 last year.
