There is nothing more interesting and exciting than watching your favorite television show being filmed right in front of your eyes. I have had the pleasure of watching several of my favorite shows, some of which aren’t on the air any longer, and I have to tell you – it was an enjoyable experience that I’ll never forget. If you’re interested in watching a sitcom, talk show or game show in person, then you have several resources at your disposal. The coolest part – the majority of TV shows allow their audiences to enjoy the show for free, and some even get paid.
Websites:
There are a plethora of websites based in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago that provide free tickets for TV audience members. These tickets are given on a first-come, first-serve basis, thus if you’re interested in watching one of the hottest TV shows you’ll have to reserve your spot weeks in advance. Below are some of the best websites to review, and reserve your tickets:
TVTickets.com – this website provides audience member tickets for some of the best TV shows currently airing. For example, show such as Dr. Phil, Last Man Standing, 2 Broke Girls, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Hot in Cleveland and America’s Funniest Videos. Because TV shows can sometimes have a short shelf life, check with the website for current shows, and keep in mind, all tickets are free and on a first-come, first-serve basis.
On-Camera-Audences.com – this is another excellent website that delivers tickets to some of the coolest TV shows currently airing. Show such as America’s Got Talent, American Idol, Tosh.O and The Price is Right all gather their audience members from this website. Again, the tickets are free and are delivered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
ApplauseStore.com – this website boasts itself as being the “World’s Number 1 Official Site for Free TV and Radio Audience Tickets.” While this may be up to some debate, it is definitely a great resource for those seeking to be one of the many laughing voices at their favorite TV show. Review this website, and find a current list of filming TV and Radio shows as well as information as to how to secure your free ticket.
Tip: Sign up for the newsletter for both of these sites to be one of the first to learn when tickets for a particular TV show are available for reservation.
Locations:
The majority of TV shows are filmed at one of the major film/TV studios found in Los Angeles and New York. If you’re currently not in one of these cities, then you will have a hard time finding a live TV audience.
