High ticket charges and ticket re-sellers marking up the prices , '' explained C.K . in the email . `` Some ticketing services charge more than 40 % over the ticket price and , ironically , the lower I 've made my ticket prices , the more scalpers have bought them up , so the more fans have paid for a lot of my tickets . `` By selling the tickets exclusively on my site , I 've cut the ticket charges way down and absorbed them into the ticket price , '' he continues . `` To buy a ticket , you join NOTHING . Just use your credit card and buy the damn thing . '' Louis C.K . starts his tour on October 3rd in Cleveland and wraps up on February 1st , 2013 in Washington D.C.
