Louis C.K. said: hello folks! I'm going on tour this year from October through Feb. I'll be all over the goddamn place. This year, I'm trying something new, building on the fun, success and fan-benifit of selling my content online. We are selling tickets to this tour exclusively here on louisck.com. I only wanted to do this if there was a way, like with LIVE AT THE BEACON, that it could bring the price of tickets down and make them easier and less complicated to buy. We figured out a way. Making my shows affordable has always been my goal but two thing shave always worked against that. High ticket charges and ticket re-sellers marking up the prices. Some ticketing services charge more than 40% over the ticket price and, ironically, the lower I've made my ticket prices, the more scalpers have bought them up, so the more fans have paid for a lot of my tickets. By selling the tickets exclusively on my site, I've cut the ticket charges way down and absorbed them into the ticket price.To buy a ticket, you join NOTHING. Just use your credit card and buy the damn thing. opt in to the email list if you want, and you'll only get emails from me. Also, you'll see that if you try to sell the ticket anywhere for anything above the original price, we have the right to cancel your ticket (and refund your money). this is something I intend to enforce. There are some other rules you may find annoying but they are meant to prevent someone who has no intention of seeing the show from buying the ticket and just flipping it for twice the price from a thousand miles away. Some of these rules may be a pain in your ass, but please be patient. My goal here is that people coming to see my shows are able to pay a fair price and that they be paying just for a ticket. Not also paying an exhorbanant fee for the privalege of buying a ticket.Tickets across the board, everywhere, are 45 dollars. That's what you'll actually pay. In every case, that will be less than anyone has actually paid to see me (after ticket charges) in about two years and in most cases it's about half of what you paid last year. The benifit for me is that I won't get angry emails from anyone who paid a ton of money to see me due to circumstances out of my control. That makes me VERY happy. The 45 dollars also includes sales tax, which I'm paying for you. So I'm making more or less depending on the state. Another benifit to me is also one to you. I get your email address (if you opt in) when you opt in. You don't have to join ANYTHING to buy these tickets and if you opt in, youll only hear from me once in an old man's jizz-cycle.Obviously none of this means anything if the shows aren't good.So that's up to me. As I do every year, I'll be performing a brand new hour (or more) on all of these shows. Lastly, it was a real challenge to find venues around the country that could work with our exclusive ticketing service under these perameters. It means I'm playing in very new places. I really appreciate all of these theaters that are letting us give this atry.Setting up this tour has been fascinating and difficult. this ticketing service is a brand new thing and I really farking hope it works and that there aren't any problems. If anything comes up, please be patient. Doing things this way means I"m making less than I would have made if I did a standard tour, using the usual very excellent butexpensive ticketing service. In some cities I've had to play smaller venues and do more shows. But I like doing more shows and 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. Either way, I stillmake a whole lot more than my grandfather who taught math and raised chickens in Michigan. alright, that's it, folks. I'll be sending this message out to folks on the opt-in list and sending a separate email that lays it out much more simply with the proper links. I am doing this because when I emailed you about LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL, (which is still on sale for 5 dollars!) about half of the people who got the email really enjoyed the long, verbose, unedited message.The other half HATED it and would have preffered a price, a link,and me shutting the fark up.This way, you can read this if you like, or your can just see the massive shit-ball of text and throw it in the garbage, and focus on the simple email.I hope to see you all on the road. regards,Louis C.K.

As the man said, and I can verify... NOBODY has paid less than $45 dollars to see perform in the last 5 years, unless you just happened to be in a club when he walked on for a few minutes.

Doesn't matter. It's still not below the retail price. It's not like this is some special inside deal you're getting, it's offered to everyone and tickets are in good supply.
Not a hot deal.

Agreed. Tickets are not in good supply. I just got the above email from Louis CK last night and less than 24 hours all NYC sold out! Good heads up for a bargain price for what should be an awesome show! Thanks OP and thanks Louis!!!

Can't tell if trolling, or just very literal. As if the face price of a concert ticket is considered "retail."
His direct sale method is now hitting the national news. And the "insiders" will prove to be those who watch Leno last night (and most geriatrics are not going to a CK show), and people who stumbled upon this this afternoon. The NYE Baltimore show is down to backrow and random single seats now. I suspect it will be soldout by evening.

Uh oh. It's the self-appointed internet police. Oh NOES!
This is a great deal that I'd otherwise not be aware of. Go police some other forum, K?

too bad you can't be notified of added dates...that'd be a cool feature. Very entertaining comedian.
Got nearly the two worst seats in the house for the early show on Monday Oct 22 in NYC, but I'm stoked! The rest of you who got better seats can eat a bag of d!ck$, lol
