The angry white guy bit is played out but i do support his anti Ticketmaster / anti-scalping stance.
He still has to pay the venues, and there may be additional marketing costs he has to deal with. Even if he gets 10% of what he eventually ends up grossing, though, that's very good pay for a stand-up comedian doing what isn't an altogether massive tour, comparatively speaking.Of course LCK made all this money because he got 100% of the ticket money.
Good for him! Louis CK is a class act and actually cares about his fans.
Actually, what he cares about is money. If he had to sell through other outlets the tickets would still only be $45 but the outlets would take a cut.
Instead he generated a social media buzz that he is fucking Ticketmaster when in reality it is all about him making more money per ticket than he would have otherwise. Smart move but not for the reasons you stated.

What happens though when 3000 people show up to a 1500 seating show? Considering these tickets are good for "unlimited seating" basically.

The point remains that he makes more money for himself if he doesn't go with Ticketmaster. He doesn't do it because he loves you. He doesn't do it because he wants to stick it to the man. He does it for money. Nothing wrong with that, I would do the same thing, but don't think he does it because of some consideration other than money.

Had you bothered to read my post, or perhaps you were just unable to comprehend what I wrote, then you would have noticed that I at no time said that he should pay TM or that he doesn't deserve the money.So he should pay a monopoly instead of himself , the guy who actually does the majority of the work just because he'll get richer from it? Of course he does it for the money. But that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a larger piece of the pie for the lions share of the work. Ticketmaster only acts as a middle man and they take a large cut.
Amazing logic
Had you bothered to read my post, or perhaps you were just unable to comprehend what I wrote, then you would have noticed that I at no time said that he should pay TM or that he doesn't deserve the money.
My argument remains that he doesn't do it out of love for you or out of hate for the man, he does it to pocket more money. I specifically stated that there is nothing wrong with that.
So ..., it's a bit unclear how you after reading what I wrote ended up writing what you did because as far as a reply goes yours makes no sense at all.

If you actually bothered to read up on him, or his recent "test run" with this style of direct-to-the-customer sales you'd see that with his last one (selling his stand up act for just 5 bucks) he ended up donating a LOT of money to charity PLUS giving a huge bonus to the people that work for him. He didn't simply "pocket the money."
Yes he makes more money himself this way, but he ALSO does give a shit about the fans and passes on some of hte savings to them doing it this way, that's why so many people have bought both his stand up special and tickets this way.
umm..your a jackass contrarian with fucked up point of view.. and I did comprehend your gibberish..kthxla~! just negative POV. much like this response to youHad you bothered to read my post, or perhaps you were just unable to comprehend what I wrote, then you would have noticed that I at no time said that he should pay TM or that he doesn't deserve the money.

From what I've heard he had a hell of a time securing the venues, because TM threatened to pull other shows if they ran his act. Sucks when someone pokes a giant hole in your business model.
There is a difference between "your" and "you're", when flaming someone it helps to not sound illiterate.umm..your a jackass contrarian with fucked up point of view
