ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Comedian Chris Rock took to the stage in Atlantic City a week after the smack heard around the world and it appears Rock and venues like the Borgata are getting the last laugh as ticket prices skyrocket.Two-hours before show time the cheapest tickets found were around $550, with people telling FOX 29 they couldn’t find anything under $800 in the days after the slap."Afterword, I said, ‘Babe did you see the slap,’ because she was asleep," said Andrew Hackman. "I said oh this is real.
I looked at my phone and said these tickets are going up, we just hit the jackpot."MORE HEADLINES:Alas, the tickets were a 60th birthday gift, so they decided not to cash them out and go see the show.
They bought the tickets two weeks ago for around $130."I looked where I’m sitting now and the tickets are $735," Hackman commented."I bet you’re glad you didn’t wait?" FOX 29’s Eddie Kadhim asked."We wouldn’t be going," Hackman replied.Cell phones and cameras aren’t allowed inside the show.
