Getting TV show tickets just got easier. If you're clever about where you spend your leisure time, you can score TV show tickets from TV show taping solicitors who frequent popular hot spots. Studios and production companies always need a steady supply of studio audience members for TV show tapings, so many are proactive about giving away tickets. Studios often hire professional solicitors and promoters to give away free tickets to TV show tapings.
A solicitor is paid per person she recruits, so she will try to give away as many TV show tickets as she can. She's likely to canvass areas that have heavy foot traffic and many pedestrians. Solicitors will hang out in places where they can meet a lot of people.
The best places to find solicitors are on popular promenades, near studios and colleges, tourist spots, and places where there are plenty of restaurants and nightlife. Be on the lookout for solicitors in popular hot spots in New York City like Times Square or Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Some solicitors will actively approach you and ask if you are interested, while others will silently hold a placard with TV show taping information. Feel free to ask them about the shows they are promoting.
Most TV show taping solicitors will give you a paper pass with all of the information you will need on it. Solicitors may put their name or a special code on the pass and request your name so they can get credit for recruiting you. Although there is usually a telephone number or website on the pass, it's a good idea to ask the TV show solicitor to clarify anything you do not understand about the pass or its instructions.
In addition to the instructions printed on your pass, be sure to bring the pass with you to the TV show taping and follow any directions the solicitor has given you. Also, remember that solicitors often give away TV show tickets that are dated for that same day or no more than a week in advance. That means you will likely have to act quickly to make arrangements or invite friends.
