According to ticket reseller TickPick, Chris Rock’s comedy tour sales have increased. This comes after Will Smith slapped the comedian at the Oscars on Sunday.
On March 18, tickets could be purchased for $46 each. TickPick says that their lowest price for his shows is now $341.
Rock will go on tour, performing on 38 various dates. Some of the cities where he will be featured include Las Vegas, Denver, Oakland, Seattle, New York, Chicago, and Toronto.
The slap happened after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith’s wife. Pinkett Smith has previously discussed that she has been dealing with alopecia. This is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects hair follicles and results in the loss of hair.
Will Smith has since apologized for his actions.
The Academy has said that they have begun “a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our bylaws, standards of conduct, and California law.”
