You'll find information about this season's shows posted on our Show Overview page. Our Pilots & Specials page provides details about pilots, one-time-only shows, and special events. Links on these pages and on our Home page an Show Schedule will take you to the individual show pages for more detailed information.
Yes. Shows may be added or deleted from our show list at any time. Some shows may be cancelled or placed on hiatus and new shows may contact us to provide audience services. In addition, our Pilots And Specials page provides current information about special events that may not be posted elsewhere on our site!
The majority of the shows that we represent are produced at various production facilities in the Los Angeles area - including studios in Burbank, Hollywood and Culver City. "The Return Of Jezebel James" (2007-2008 Season) is being filmed in New York. Our Studios and Shows page offers a list of shows grouped by the studio where they're filmed. Studio location maps are available for viewing or printing on our Studio Maps page.
Most network comedies start production for the new Fall TV season in late July or August and depending on how many episodes are ordered, they may film through February or March. During the months of March, April and May when the regular series shows are on hiatus, many production companies produce "pilots". These are the first episodes of new shows proposed for the next TV season. Usually, there are very few, if any, shows filming mid-May through mid-July. You'll find updated information two months in advance on our Future Dates page.
In most cases, unless the show times are at least 4 hours apart, you will not be able to attend two shows. Guests should check in no less than 60 min. prior to show time, and some shows will take around 2 to 3 hours to film. Please do not order tickets that you cannot or will not use.
Although you might expect they would be, NBC shows are not all filmed at NBC Studios in Burbank and CBS shows are not all filmed at CBS Studio Center. The production companies of the individual shows rent soundstages at various television studios based on their needs, including production support, economic and technical considerations and available studio space. Our Studios & Shows page provides updated information about where the shows are filmed.
You may order tickets by phone for shows listed as available on our Show Schedule ... 24hrs a day by calling (818) 753-3470 ext. 812. If you order tickets by phone, you will be asked to provide your name, address and phone number. (For shows at Warner Bros., Walt Disney, Sony and Universal Studios you must provide the first and last names of each guest in your party.) If tickets are available for the show you requested, a guest card (tickets) will mailed out to you. Please allow at least one week to ten days for processing and mailing.
We do not send tickets, issue confirmation numbers or email confirmations to guests who order online. You are responsible for printing the ticket that is generated for you after you submit your order. You will not be contacted by email unless there is an error on your order, or the show that you ordered tickets for cancelled or changed time.
Some award shows, charity events or special presentations may charge a fee for tickets; however, tickets for shows that are made available by Audiences Unlimited, Inc. on our website, by mail order or through our automated phone order system are FREE! These tickets are complimentary and unauthorized sale is prohibited by law. (L.A.M.C. 42.03).
Our website ticketing system is set up to offer a limited number of tickets online for most of our shows starting approximately one month prior to show date, or when posted on our Show Schedule. This may be more or less than 30 days. We make no guarantee that tickets for selected shows or show dates will be offered via our website, or when they may be made available. Please do not call or email about advance ticketing. Check our Show Schedule for available shows.
Because some factors are beyond our control, we must advise you that (unless noted otherwise) admission is not guaranteed; however, at most shows all ticket holders are admitted providing they arrive and check-in on time and comply with the minimum age restriction. Tickets for all television shows produced before studio audiences are free (with the exception of some award shows and special presentations) and may be distributed in excess of studio capacity to compensate for no-shows. Guests with general admission tickets are admitted to the studio on a first-come, first-served basis as space allows.
We distribute tickets based on the production schedules issued to us by the shows; however for a variety of reasons, specific show dates may be cancelled or changed. All scheduled shows are subject to change or cancellation without notice; however, as a courtesy to our guests, we send e-mail notices (to the email address that YOU enter on the order form) of show changes to ticketholders who ordered tickets via our website. We also post updates as we receive them, on our Show Changes page. We cannot unconditionally assure you that the show you selected will not cancel or change time or date. Potential scheduling changes, technical difficulties, script problems or cast illnesses are always a possibility and are of course, beyond our control.
Do not pay anyone or any company for tickets to the shows we represent. Avoid other companies, websites or individuals selling tickets or imposing fees for services that we offer you free of charge! Please be advised that TV ticket sales and/or distribution by other companies or individuals is not authorized by the shows that we represent, the networks, or by Audiences Unlimited, Inc. Companies and/or other websites that charge a fee or "service charges" for tickets to these shows cannot add your name to our ticket lists or guarantee that you will be admitted to the studio!
Do not pay anyone for tickets that they obtained free of charge on our website. Those tickets will have someone else's name on them and they are not transferrable. You will not be able to use them to attend the show! We, and the legal departments of the shows and networks, monitor online auction sites.
Yes, tickets are FREE....but we must limit ticket distribution for all shows. "Sold out" is not meant to imply that you won't get in, or that your tickets are now void. It simply means that we have reached the ticket limit for that show and will be distributing no more tickets for that date. If you already have tickets....please plan on attending!
We limit the number of tickets distributed for each show. When we reach that "limit", the show is "sold out". From time to time shows are reopened for ticket distribution for a variety of reasons - a group may cancel, the production company may be taking fewer seats than we anticipated, the audience seating capacity may change and/or a number of guests already holding tickets have contacted us to cancel.
Again, because we must limit the number of tickets distributed for each show, on occasion you may see a show that was previously available or open for ticketing suddenly "disappear" from the Show Schedule. Unless our Show Changes page states that that show or date has been cancelled, it may have been temporarily removed from the schedule to put a "hold" on ticket distribution. If we decide to distribute more tickets, the show will be reinstated on the schedule. If the show is "sold out", that will be indicated.
That ticket number is just a way for us to file and record your request in our database. It has nothing to do with your chances of admission, your place in line or your seating assignment in the studio. Ticketholders are admitted on a first-come basis and seats are not reserved or assigned in the studio audience.
Our shows are taped or filmed at many different studios. A map providing general directions will be printed with your ticket for most locations. For more detailed information, please consult your L.A. street map or visit an online mapping website such as Mapquest or YahooMaps. For your convenience, links to six free mapping sites are posted on our Studio Maps page.
No, we do not offer transportation services for individuals, except for our Universal Studios Tour shuttles. If you are visiting Universal, please stop by our TV Ticket Booth in the Entertainment center as they may be offering show tickets that include free bus transportation. Many shows will provide busses for groups of 40 or more in the Los Angeles area that have made advance reservations. Contact our Group Department for details.
Please do not contact the studios for show information, directions or tickets. These studios are working television production facilities and most - with few exceptions - do not have on-lot ticketing, audience or Guest Relations Departments. Our company has been hired by these shows to provide audience services. Everything you need to know can be found on our website. If you have additional questions, please email us via the link at the bottom of this page.
The studios that provide audience parking in lots or structures do not charge a fee for parking. If you visit a studio with street parking (on the city streets), please be advised that you park at your own risk. Be sure to read the signs for posted parking restrictions (if any). If you choose to park in a pay parking lot near a studio facility, you will be responsible for the parking fee.
You will find the suggested arrival time on your ticket. For most shows it is 60 min. prior to show time; however, that may vary for some shows depending on production requirements. For example, the audience is asked to check in for "The Price Is Right" 4 hours prior to the show to allow time for interviews and processing. Be sure to allow plenty of time for traffic, parking and security checks! General admission tickets will be numbered in the order that guests arrive at the studio and ticketholders will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis as space allows. As we have no control over, nor can we accurately predict when other guests will choose to arrive for a specific show or date, we cannot provide you with the "best" arrival times for individual shows.
Sorry, the studios do not provide lockers or any facilities to check or hold personal items for guests attending the shows. Please leave your cellphones, pagers, backpacks, large bags, food, drink and/or cameras or recording devices at home, in your car or in your hotel room as you will not be permitted to enter the studio with any of those items!
All guests 16 and over should be prepared to present a valid photo ID (driver's license, passport, state issued or school ID) at check-in. This is a requirement of most studio facilities and/or studio security departments.
Although some shows may provide free snacks and drinks for the audience, we suggest that you plan on eating before you go to the studio as there may not be food available.
Tickets for all television shows produced before studio audiences are free (with the exception of some award shows and special presentations) and may be distributed in excess of studio capacity to compensate for no-shows. Guests with general admission tickets are admitted to the studio on a first-come, first-served basis as space allows. We cannot unconditionally assure you that the show will not cancel or change time or date. Potential scheduling changes, technical difficulties, script problems or cast illnesses are of course, beyond our control. Please understand that there is a possibility that we may be unable to admit you to the show and we are not responsible for reimbursement of any possible costs incurred for transportation, parking, food or lodging.
Guests who are not admitted to most shows will be offered seating at another show the same night if possible, and/ or priority seating at a future taping of the same show, or another show that we represent (subject to availability). The audience pages at the show will provide you with information.
Some stages are very close to the check-in area, but most studio facilities are fairly large and there may be a walk from check-in to the soundstages. Once you are in the soundstage, there may be a small flight of stairs leading to the seating area. Generally, the audience is seated in a "bleacher" area consisting of benches and/or individual seats accessed by a short flight of stairs.
Yes, the studios allow one person to be seated with a disabled guest on the floor but space is strictly limited. Most soundstages can only accommodate one or two wheelchairs or guests that cannot negotiate stairs on the studio floor due to space constraints and safety concerns. If you, or someone in your party uses a wheelchair, has a disability or otherwise requires assistance, please email us at: tickets@audiencesunlimited.com ASAP after submitting your order to reserve space! Any special accommodations are subject to availability and are at the discretion of the studio facility.
Guests for shows that do not film the audiences are encourged to dress comfortably. Some productions that show the audience on camera such as "America's Funniest Home Videos", ask that guests refrain from wearing shorts, jeans, Tshirts and/or clothing with large words, photos or logos as these are easily seen on camera and can be distracting. As a rule, if the audience is seen on camera, dressy attire (slacks/jackets) is preferred! Special productions or award shows may request more dressy (jackets for men) or even semi-formal attire.
You may find that there is an opportunity for a handshake or an autograph; however, we are unable to promise that or arrange it. Interaction with the studio audience is at the discretion of the cast and may be affected by time contraints and the number of guests in the studio.
Although many shows provide free snacks and drinks for the audience, plan on eating before (or after) you go to the studio as there may not be food available.
Sorry, copyright, security and union regulations prohibit guests from bringing cameras (still or video) and recording devices of any kind into the studios.
That varies according to the particular show; however, most half-hour comedies take at least 2 to 3 hours to tape or film an episode. The actual time depends on a number of factors including possible re-takes of scenes (the "bloopers" you don't see at home) or technical problems. Please allow enough time for your visit to the studio.
Audience capacity varies on the different soundstages depending in part on the particular show's set configurations. The majority of the stages are set up to accommodate 150 - 250 guests.
Have a good time! Clap, laugh and enjoy the show! You are there as guests of the production company and your applause and laughter are appreciated.... and, are a very important part of the show. You're there to provide feedback and live reaction for the actors who in turn, enjoy performing for you. Please keep in mind however; that this is a working studio, an important and expensive production, and all guests - in exchange for studio admission - are expected to follow instructions and abide by the rules and regulations of our company, the show's production staff, the studio facility and studio security.
Our "Future Dates" page should have all currently scheduled shows for the next two months posted. For a faxed copy of our complete monthly schedules for this month and/or next month , you may call our automated system at (818) 753-3470 ext. 802.
Most of our shows accept advance reservations from organized groups of 10 or more! Some shows will also provide bus transportation for confirmed groups of 40-47. To arrange group reservations (10 or more) you must speak to a Group Dept. representative. Please call (818) 753-3470 ext. 321 (9:00am to 5:00pm PST Monday through Friday).
Sorry, we cannot assist you with this. We receive many requests to donate VIP tickets of some sort to be used for promotions or as auction items for various charities, media or fund raising events. The shows that we represent prefer to choose which businesses, companies or charities to support or affiliate themselves with and we are not authorized to do this on their behalf. If you are interested in fundraising and have a group of 10 or more, please contact our Group Dept. at 818.753.3470 ext. 321 for details.
We are not currently affiliated with any travel agencies, radio or television stations, contests or promotions and have not entered into any "VIP" or "priority admission" arrangement with any outside company or agency.
