PILSEN — Nearly a decade after the last "Chappelle Show" episodes aired, comedian Dave Chappelle continues to be one hot ticket.

Tickets to his 13 stand up shows this week in Chicago — starting with Monday night's "warm up" show and continuing through Sunday — sold out in less than hour, a Thalia Hall rep confirmed Monday afternoon.

Event organizers said the quick sell-out of 13 Chappelle shows rivaled last year's Smashing Pumpkins one-night-only performance at Thalia Hall in Pilsen.

Still hoping to scoop up some tickets? Unfortunately Thalia Hall does not plan to add more tickets or shows, reps said. But one set of tickets to Wednesday night's show was listed on Craigslist for $250 on Monday.

Dave Chappelle tickets were priced at $67 each, with the exception of Monday night's "warm up" show, which cost $37.

Cell phones will not be allowed in the venue during the 17 & up Dave Chappelle performances "under any circumstances," according to the Ticketmaster website. Attendees are encouraged to leave their cell phones in their vehicles or check them with security at Thalia Hall.
