How To Get Paleyfest LA 2016 Tickets: Where And When To See Stars From ‘Empire,’ ‘American Horror Story’ And More

Paleyfest is a TV lover’s dream. Fans can sit in the audience of a theater and see actors and writers from their favorite TV shows discuss their craft. Paleyfest LA 2016 also gives attendees a chance to talk to the stars and ask about their shows. However, this isn’t San Diego Comic-Con. Space is limited, so fans who want to go need to make sure they get their tickets fast.
