I actually thought they were pretty cheap. Same price as Joel McHale at the Chicago Theatre and Coco's obviously a much bigger name.

I was talking more about all of the multi hundred dollar packages, not the base level. $700 meet and greet, for example.
 
Just got two tickets to see CoCo!

100 dollars for two tickets to see a nationaly known comedian is CHEAP. I saw Lewis Black and it cost over twice that.
 
I never dreamed that I would climb
Over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm
Shortly about to be!
:D
'Cause I've got a golden ticket,
I've got a golden chance to make my way,
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day!

YES CONAN COMING TO DALLAS!

except now I can't access the website :(


i love how conan isn't going to houston. payback for the 90s

If he really wanted payback, he should have just scheduled a show in Houston for like 3AM.


Dammit. So do I buy tickets for the Austin show in anticipation of the line at Bonnaroo being miserable? Or do I hope for the best as far as conflicts with bands go and brave the line. DAMMIT.

Gotcha. I am always amazed at those types of packages.. they have them for everything at the Chicago Theatre and you know they sell out too. Wouldn't it be awesome to be so rich you could blow that kind of cash? Jealous...
 
KCMO - Yes! Now that downtown and the performance venues there have been revemped and revitalized, we're getting a lot of the good performers here. Used to get skipped in favor of St Louis or other cities in the region.

I'm in.

The 700$ packages have already sold out at Austin too :lol


edit: According to Twitter, already adding a second NYC and Chicago show.
 
I'm not sure I can rationalize myself spending this much money. I love Conan, but man, these tickets are expensive. Wonder who's touring with him.
 
woodchuck said:
yeah. fuck ticketmaster. $60 tickets for first balcony seats + $15 convenience charge?

i love you conan, but fuck that.

Jesus, fuck.

Does anyone know how you may avoid the convenience charge? It's putting a real damper on my enthusiasm. I love you Conan, but really don't feel the need to provide gilded toilets to Ticketmaster's exec board.
 
The ticket prices are a bit high, but my thinking is that it's not everyday that I'll get the chance to see Conan live, so I'm ultimately willing to pay for it (even with those bullshit convenience charges from Ticketmaster).
 
damn. i was looking on ticket master.

first time i got baloney reserved for a few minutes. second time, orchestra.

if im going to do this i need to deposit a check or use someones credit card temporarily. but, i don't know if anyone wants to go or how many.

i wish i had the jump..... a random post saying they are on sale is lame as hell

There's no way. Whether you buy in person or online, you're going to pay the fee. And, as a warning, they'll probably charge you for the convenience of printing the tickets yourself also instead of having them mailed. Or for the convenience of the will-call window.

There is no way. There's usually another few bucks beyond the first price you see with taxes, etc. If the face value of a ticket is $40, the end price is always going to be at least $50-52 per. Basically there's another 20-25% on every ticket in overhead.
 
Orchestra sold out ;_; friends are balking at ticket prices by time they figure out NYC be sold out again and then i would have to go to AC =(

Crud. It's not so much the amount (well, still, it's grossly out of proportion to the ticket prices) so much as I really don't want to give monies for something labeled a "convenience" charge. I would like the option to inconvenience myself to save on the charge.

I forgot how much I hate the Ticketmaster/LiveNation racket. So f'ing bogus. Thanks for the info!

@Meier: Cheers. Thanks as well!
 
Bah. I just can't justify spending 115 bucks on two balcony tickets to a comedy show right now. I'm going to hope for the best at trying to see Conan at Bonnaroo, but between the long line and the show itself I'm sure there are going to be all sorts of conflicts in the schedule. Well, I guess if nothing else I'll see him a bit because he's going to be emceeing the main stage for two nights.
 
Is anyone else limited to 4 seats max online? Are you able to bypass this thru the local box office? I need 6 and the box office isnt open for another hour.

You going to the Austin show? I can finally meet Cousin David's cousin!
 
If anyone needs to buy Dallas tickets you can buy mine :lol

I was sent a link 5 minutes before tix went on sale for the Ticketmaster website, Dallas was the only Texas city listed, so I bought them, minutes later I see the teamcoco website, and see that Austin is a possibility on a friday night. Safe to say, I bought some for that show too, and I need to unload my Dallas tix :lol

:lol

Unfortunately no. I've already got my tickets to Bonnaroo bought, I can't justify spending so much money on potentially seeing him twice. I'm really worried about the Bonnaroo show, though, because comedy acts are usually a bitch to see. The lines are always huge. But since it's after the Austin show, I can't even buy them and then sell my tickets if I do happen to catch him at Roo.
