We are in Nyc Oct 10th and wondering about getting SNL tickets. We registered on line but didn%26#39;t hear anything back yet. Is there a place a person could go the day of the show to line up for tickets or anything? What%26#39;s the chances of getting tickets even if there is a line up?
SNL TicketsYour chances are slim to none. Each August you can email NBC asking that you be entered in a lottery for tickets. I%26#39;ve done this for 6 yrs and no tickets.
You can also stand in line Sat morning..........better get there before 5am b/c there will be people there already...and try for tickets to the dress rehearsal, also hard to come by.
I%26#39;m guessing you have to know somebody to get tickets.
SNL TicketsIt is a very small studio, we went on the NBC exp. tour and we went in there and sat. It holds under 100 people, cramped. They said the tickets are very hard to come by.
If you don%26#39;t have tickets now only the dress rehersal tickts availavle the morning of the show are available, one per person, line up around 5 am, bring coffee, hope for the best.
So they only give away dress rehearsal tickets? Everything I%26#39;ve been reading in guide books say they give away standby tickets for both dress AND the show. Obviously chances are slim to none of getting in, but....
Depending on who the guest host is, the line can start on Friday evening. Last week, I saw people lined up on the sidewalk with sleeping bags at 9 pm.
Iv%26#39;e done stand-by 2 times. The first time I got there at 4:30am on Sat. and got number 78 for the live show. The next time i went was at 11pm on Friday night and got number 38 for the dress rehersal..i didnt get into either show. Its almost impossible to get in unless u have a ticket 1-20 or get there thursday night.
I`ve gotten in line around 4:30/5:00 am times. They do give out tickets for both the dress rehearsal and live show. I always choose dress rehearsal as chances of getting in to the live show are even slimmer. I got in once. (came close another time and was no where near the front of the line the other time.)
By the way, you get your numbered ticket in the morning and line back up at night in the order on the ticket. They let the people with actual tickets in and then go to the stand-by line to fill up the studio.
It was a fun - crew goes crazy during the commercial to take down and set up sets for the next skits.
i have tickets to the show on jan 10th. where do we go and if we have any bags with us as we will be in the city for the day is there somewhere to put them. also how about parking? any help will be greatly apperciated.
The guy who gives out the tickets says no bags are allowed in the studio unless its a purse, so nothing really bulky. There are parking lots around that area so it shouldnt be a problem.
oh and go on the 49th street entrance to the page(they are usually right by the stairs to the left when you walk in)and they will have a list to check you in, since you have tickets you just have to wait on a line, go through security and go up the elevator.
