Following the slap heard around the room, many have wanted to know what or if Chris Rock has to say about the incident at this year’s Oscars, apparently so much, so that ticket sales for Rock’s upcoming comedy tour have spiked following him being slapped by Will Smith.

According to Variety, secondary ticketing website TickPick reported that they had sold more tickets to Rock’s comedy tour in one night following the incident at the Oscars than in the past month. They also noted that ticket prices had surged, going from a minimum of $46 a ticket on March 18 to $341.
