Dave Chappelle is bringing his tour to Orlando this fall. The iconic comedian will perform at the Amway Center on Thursday, Nov. 2. 

Tickets went on sale over the weekend, and there's still some available on Ticketmaster starting at $75.50 for seats in the 200-level. 

The show is a "phone-free event," meaning guests will be required to secure their phones, smartwatches and other devices in sealed pouches for the duration of the show, according to the Amway Center. Fans will be able to keep their Yondr Pouch with them, but they won't be able to have access to what's inside unless they're in a designated phone-use area throughout the arena.
