Television Show Tapings
The major studios offer free tickets for those wanting to view the taping of a television show. Numerous agencies handle ticket distribution including Audiences Unlimited (http://tvtickets.com/) and Hollywood Tickets (http://hollywoodtickets.com/). Tickets can also sometimes be obtained through the studio's web site, and nightly shows such as the Tonight Show often have a studio box office that distributes tickets for that night's tapings. There are also occasionally booths or individuals in Hollywood or other areas frequented by tourists distributing tickets; however, you should never pay anyone for any ticket to a television show taping: tickets are always free, and scalped tickets are illegal and may not be honored by the studios. Also, note that even if you have a ticket seating is not necessarily guaranteed and will be provided first-come, first-served. You will need to arrive at least 1 h prior to filming, and filming typically lasts for 2-3 h.
