I love the alternate ideas Louis CK has brought to the table and like the fact that he's taken things into his own hands and been able to get gigs despite all that's against him. Two shows at the Kennedy Center? How cool is that?
As much as I don't want to believe this I feel that scalping is ultimately a means of market correction. If he sells tickets for one show in a city at $45 I imagine that he's a popular enough comic that the price would be higher than that due to the limited supply of Louis. Unless he has a really good way of preventing reselling there will be plenty of opportunists out there looking to sell their $45 ticket for $70 if they can.
I think the solution to this would be to better price tickets so that at least he's profiting off his hard work instead of scalpers. Could he auction each individual seat? the best seats might fetch ridiculous amounts of money but the worst seats in the house might go for say less than $45 and give fans a chance at seeing him.
