ATLANTA, GA -- Tickets for comedian Dave Chappelle's Atlanta shows went on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday, according to the Tabernacle, the event venue. Pre-sale tickets ended the night before for the shows, which are expected to sell out quickly.

Chappelle will do eight shows in Atlanta from June 11-16 and on the 18 & 19. The comedian is on the road after releasing two Netflix specials in March, “Deep in the Heart of Texas” and "The Age of Spin”.

More than a decade ago, Chappelle walked away from a $50 million Comedy Central deal, which produced his pioneering comedy show, “Chappelle’s Show."

“I was in this very successful place, but the emotional content of it didn’t feel anything like what I imagined success should feel like,” Chappelle told “CBS This Morning”. “It just didn’t feel right.”

The tickets can be purchased at TabernacleATL.com as well as any reputable ticket seller. To buy via phone, call 1-800-745-3000.
