Making my shows affordable has always been my goal but two things
have 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.
Just got 4 tix to the Fox, Oct 6 for $180.

Favorite comedian, great guy, and a terrific tipper. Can't complain.

Prices for his shows here in NYC are pretty exorbitant, but I still intend to find one at some point, preferably in a small-ish venue - I know he still drops by the Comedy Cellar, etc, when he's not on his big tours.

Having buyer's remorse on the purchase only because I'm on vacation that week and I should have bought Minneapolis tix as part of a Northern Plains road trip vacation.

Saw the show last night in Mpls (thanks, Luke!). In many way, very much what I expected and wasn't disappointed at all. Very funny and we had a great time. but his opener (Todd Glass or something like that) really sucked.

What didn't you like about Todd Glass? Todd Glass is one of the best. Really hope he's still the opener in Phx.
