I wish I would be in town but its ok, not the end of the world. best bet is to try and buy a day or 2 before the show...IMO.

I don't give these jerks the satisfaction. I've flown as far as NYC and Boston for concerts because it was cheaper than buying a ticket in Vancouver.

I buy tickets to support my favourite acts, but I will never buy from these scalper scums.

Conan followed suit, even though he didn't have to, but as we all know, Conan is probably the most down to earth guy on Late Night and we all saw that with his speech from his last show on the Tonight Show

We used to have TBS here until it turned into Peachtree tv or something on channel 47
i was kinda glad that he ended up on TBS and not Fox, because that network is known to cancel shows way too early on their peak
at least TBS will give Conan a chance for a probable long term deal and he not in direct competition with Leno and Letterman

hmm
did some digging..
peachtree TV is just a local subsidy of TBS in the states. There is National TBS and local TBS and thus some local TBS will air the national stuff as well. I believe peachtree does carry the george lopez so we could be in luck!
meaning we can still watch conan
