Chris Rock kicks off his new comedy tour Wednesday in Boston. The cheapest tickets reportedly went for $46 before the Oscars, then ballooned to $411.
“As of today, TickPick reports that 51% of its sales for Chris Rock’s tour have come since the Oscars. In terms of sales within the last week, TickPick has had 88% of sales for the tour come through since the Oscars,” a spokesperson for TickPick told The Times Tuesday. The spokesperson also noted that the cheapest tickets are now going for $464 on its platform.
Rock resumes the tour April 2 in Atlantic City, N.J. The veteran comic also will make stops at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in May, Harrah’s Southern California Resort in Funner, Calif., in August and Radio City Music Hall in New York City in October. He closes the tour at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles — where Sunday’s Oscars took place — on Nov. 17 and 18.Chris Rock, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have found themselves at odds before. Remember what happened at the 2016 Oscars?
The shows mark Rock’s return to stand-up after a five-year hiatus. The “Everybody Hates Chris” creator was last on the comedy circuit for his 2017 and 2018 Total Blackout gigs and turned a Brooklyn stop into the “Chris Rock: Tamborine” Netflix special in 2018 and an extended cut in 2021. At the time, that was his first tour in nearly a decade.
Rock has not yet publicly commented on the slap. Backstage at the Oscars, he was overheard saying, “I just got punched in the face by Muhammad Ali and didn’t get a scratch.”
