Chris Rock's face may still be stinging after provoking the anger of Will Smith, but things are looking up for the comedian's pocketbook.

According to Variety, ticket sales to see Chris Rock have gone through the roof.

The dramatic moment did seem to inspire some viewers to buy tickets to see Rock perform live; one secondary ticketing marketplace, TickPick, reports that they have sold more tickets to the comedian's tour overnight than they did in the past month combined. They also claim that ticket prices have surged since Sunday night, going up from a minimum of $46 per ticket on March 18 to a minimum of $341.

Dude is selling out venues because he got slapped!

It wasn't because his jokes killed, but because he almost got killed for one of his jokes. 😂

I guess what they say is true, all publicity is good publicity!
