The performer gets paid the same regardless of if 1 person shows up or if the entire arena sells out. Therefore, the promoter takes all the risk and therefore the seats are always available to be sold.
You may dislike him but he is one of the best to ever do it, if not the best. Yes, intimate shows are far better for stand up comedians. But, his popularity is undeniable and given the amount of seats sold thus far, this show is going to sell out.

I'll still wait to try to get half price tickets off stubhub the day before. If i don't get them then.. oh well.
I saw Chris Tucker at that comedy place on Blackfoot. I was sitting at the front and he called me Jackie when i shook his hand. I was hoping he would say that he would bitchslap me back to the Ming Dynasty lol
He was great,except he didn't swear once! that was kinda disappointing.
