TV Show Tickets in Los Angeles

TV Show Attendance for Groups

If you are traveling to LA with a group of 10 or more, you may be able to arrange tickets for a TV show taping through the group services rep at any of the ticket brokers listed in Getting Tickets. You may even defray some of your group's travel expenses by attending as a fundraiser.

For certain productions with many seats to fill, audience services will pay your organization a per-person fee for bringing them anywhere from 10 to 100 people.

You won't have as many productions to choose from if you're attending with a group, because some of the studios seat less than 100 people. But if you're not too particular what you see, you might be in luck.

Tickets are usually only released 4 to 6 weeks before taping, so you can't make definitive plans months ahead of time. But if you work with the group coordinators at the audience services and let them know when you'll be coming, the age of your group and what kind of show you're looking for, they can let you know as soon as something becomes available so you're at the top of the list.

It is important that groups show up on time. There are always more tickets distributed than there are seats, so if a few individuals flake out it's not a problem. If a whole busload doesn't show, it's another matter. So if you can't get to the studio on time, make sure you have the audience coordinator's phone number handy to let them know your status so they can replace you.

TIP: If you call more than one audience service, be sure to keep track of who you talk to at each one to make sure you don't accept 30 seats to a show from Audiences Unlimited and another 30 seats to the same show from On Camera Audiences, thinking it's the same company. There is a lot of overlap between which tickets the brokers carry.
