A Look Back at PaleyFest

You can see a seating chart for the Saban here: http://www.sabantheatre.org/seatingchart.html
Looks like the most expensive ticket level goes a ways back, instead of just 10 or so rows like in previous years.

Where are the front orchestra seats? For $25 extra it would be nice to know what we are buying.

Interesting, they give us a 2 day warning that tickets are going on sale, and don't include the time. That's barely enough time to figure out if the schedule works for you, but without the time it goes on sale, it's almost like not knowing anything. And no prices, hmmm, how to budget for that? And listing the shows doesn't really help either when you don't list the guests. After all, you may get tickets assuming everyone in the picture is going, and that may not be the case. For out of towners, that's just not fair.
I would expect more from an organization that's been around this long. This is just poor presentation and planning.

Count me also bummed. No information on ticket prices of any kind, nor what time or where they go on sale. Not all of us can afford premium packages.

So how much are the regular tickets when they go on sale? At what time do they go on sale?
Why didn't the Paley folks put up this info when they posted the complete schedule this morning?

Dear Dean,
Thanks for your interest. We actually will be hosting an evening celebrating All My Children at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills this Thursday, January 21. Tickets are available here:

I agree with the previous comment about more histotorical television content has been missing the last few years.
It may be too late, but with the All My Children move to LA and their 40th anniversary this year, I'm hoping an "Evening with All Mt Children" will be part of this years Paley Fest.
PS, I will miss the Dome.

The location isn't necessarily a concern. I'm more concerned that there is more concentration over new and current programming (2005 to present) and not enough about vintage programming! Is the reason behind this is due to the fact that few people care about shows from another era? I would like to see an evening that concentrated on “lost” shows and the hunt to find them, or more stuff on news, sports, and trends in media! Let the San Diego ComicCon present panels on shows that cater to the “fanboys” (and “fangirls”) out there!

Nevermind my comment;) I just saw that the capacity is a lot bigger at Saban. I get it now. Still bummed, but I understand.

I'm REALLY bummed the festival is moving from the Arclight to the Saban Theatre. The Saban is certainly beautiful and has a similar seating capacity, but I doubt it will be as convenient as the Arclight.
