Hahaha Enoch, AB eh? I'm surprised people outside of central Alberta even know that Enoch is in Edmonton. If I wasn't going to school at UofA right now I don't think I'd have any idea where in the blue hell Enoch was. I'm surprised they even wrote it like that...

I love Conan, but ya, for $100 I've gotta think about it..

The River Cree in Enoch seems to attract lots of bigger comedy acts. Jay Leno played there last year, and I'm not sure he stopped in Calgary either..

considering he just got like 20 million to sit at home for 6 months I think the ticket prices are a little high

that being said I just bought 2 tickets to the april 14th show

Sorry, no exact matches were found, but other tickets may still be available.

All that was left were the "premium" packages. $300/seat? Looks like a no no for Coco.

I'm at the River Cree Hotel & Casino that weekend anyway for my company's hockey tournament. I tried to get tickets for the Sat. night show and nothing there except the most expensive package seats.

Kind of dissapointing. If it was around $60-75 per ticket I'd gladly shell it out for me and my wife to go see the show, but it's a bit crazy when the cheapest seats in the house are $100.

Conan didnt pick Edmonton over Calgary, River Cree pays for these events to come there. Its also rumored to have one of the largest server farms in North America for online gambling.

River Cree Casino for those that haven't been there, is a pretty nice facility. Too bad I'm not paying 100 bucks to go and see him.

Wouldn't even be $100 anymore...scalpers are already going for $200+.

The cheapest ones are sold out? I wasn't aware. When was this even announced? Normally they say on the radio, 'tickets go on sale....'. I didn't hear anything about this show other than rumours.

Conan has 8 Different Twitter accounts:

Quote:
OK, so you might have looked at the title of this post and thought to yourself, “How hard can it be? He’s @ConanOBrien. And he’s been there since February 24.” Well, yes. But as Starcasm tipped us off, he has also been tweeting from seven secret accounts as of late: @CoCosBeard, @ConansSharpie, @CoCosATMCard, @ConansTaurus, @ConansMonkey, @ConansFreckles, and @ConansSquirrel. A guide to Conan’s many Twitter identities after the jump.

They have an interesting line-up of performers coming there over the next couple of months: Cheech and Chong, Conan, Don Rickels, and Sarah Ferguson (ex-wife of Prince Andrew).

I hate you ticketmaster. I can purchase the $300 ticket online, but I go to a retail outlet this afternoon there's none available? I just bought a computer not a week ago, so the card is temporarily full

HA HA!

You want to buy tickets, but you can only do it no the computer.
But you can't buy tickets on the computer becasue you just bought a new computer.

Dude, that's a huge "F YOU!" the universe just sent your way.
