A few years ago Louis CK started selling tickets for his shows exclusively from his website. His post announcing the process is worth a read. I bought tickets for that show from him and the process was as simple as he describes it.

He certainly doesn't still exclusively do that. Tickets for his current tour are sold through Ticketmaster.
I was not aware, but this is true. I looked through his latest tour and ticket prices vary, tickets are sold from various ticket outlets, and (depending on the outlet) additional fees may inflate prices. It seems like the only tenet that remains is that about ticket resale.
