Louis CK Wins Big in Stiffing Ticketmaster

Louis CK's idea to sell tickets directly to fans was officially a good one: Within less than two days, 100,000 tickets had been sold, the comedian tweeted last night. He added that "lotsa shows are sold out," but says more are being added. That doesn't mean he's coming to your town, though: He notes that it's very possible "all theaters in your town won't allow our tix service. or your town sux. JK." Gawker calls the "Ticketmaster-circumventing" strategy a "resounding success."

Another victory: CK found no tickets being scalped on StubHub, and reminds fans, "If u see over-priced tix to this tour ANYWHERE, buying is a big risk. It will be invalid at showtime."
