For those who missed out on tickets, or can't quite break the bank for them, it sounds like CBC is in talks to broadcast the Kingston show!

Frustrated Tragically Hip fans — some who couldn't snag presale tickets today or yesterday — are calling on the CBC to broadcast the band's final concert, and the CBC says it is interested in doing just that.

A series of petitions and open letters to CBC management have been posted online, urging the public broadcaster to record the final show of the band's upcoming tour, which is scheduled to end in the Hip's hometown of Kingston. Fans across the country are pushing for that Aug. 20 show at the Rogers K-Rock Centre to be aired on CBC.

Emma Bédard, a spokeswoman for theCBC, responded to the requests on Tuesday, saying "we are interested in airing the Tragically Hip's final show and are having conversations with the band to see if we can make it happen."
