Dave Chappelle adds more dates

But they too sell out instantly, unless you've got hundreds of pounds to spare

Dave Chappelle has added five more nights to his run of dates in London.

But the new shows also sold out instantly at £100 a seat, leaving only 'platinum' tickets at £286 to £316.50 through Ticketmaster.

It puts the £400-plus that touts were asking on controversial ticket resale site Viagogo, as Chortle reported yesterday, into focus. 

Chappelle will now be at the 400-seat venue for five nights from February 9 to 19, promising new material following his 2019 Netflix special Sticks & Stones.

The gigs have a  strict no-mobile-phone policy, with audiences having to place their devices into secure pouches – or face ejection. And officially, the theatre offers a no-resale policy saying it can insist on ID and adding: 'If you sell or purchase tickets for this event via a reseller... the ticket will be cancelled without refund.'
