Dave Chappelle hand-delivers tickets to couple who got scammed on Craigslist

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dave-chappelle-hand-delivers-tickets-to-couple-who-were-scammed-on-craigslist/

A couple from Charlotte, North Carolina, was excited to see their favorite comedian, Dave Chappelle, on Valentine's Day. Deidra and Eddie Dickens bought the tickets for the special date night on Craigslist — only to realize they were fake. The couple was scammed out of hundreds of dollars, and when the comedian heard about their misfortune, he decided to do something to help.

The couple was going to the show with their friends, and Deidra Dickens wanted to specifically buy four tickets at the end of the row. Her husband often uses a wheelchair, and she wanted to make sure he had a wheelchair-accessible aisle seat. She paid $500 for the Valentine's Day gift.



Chapelle handed them tickets to his show and said he hoped they had a great Valentine's Day. The Dickenses said the comedian couldn't have been nicer. He even posed for a photo with him.
"Holy moly. Dave Chappelle handing us tickets to the show. I cannot even describe how I'm feeling right now," Deidra said.
"I never thought I'd be sitting in my wheelchair going to a Dave Chappelle show," Eddie said.
