If you're a fan of The Colbert Report, you can get your hands on a pair of free tickets and attend the show. How? Just follow these simple instructions.
Please note, when you take a look at both the “Difficulty” and “Time Required” section , please realize that those categories reflect the ease of requesting tickets and the length of time it takes to request tickets.
Obtaining tickets or a reservation to a taping can take much longer. In the case of some shows, it can take months – even years. After all, most shows have a ton of fans and the tickets are free.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: No more than 15 minutes.
Here's How:
- You can get free tickets one of two ways. Either request tickets online at ColbertNation.com or try to get standby tickets the day of the show.
- Once online, select a date you would like to see the show from the interactive calendar provided. If no dates are open, check back, as dates do open up. Select the number of tickets you'd like - up to four.
- Fill out the online form and check the box to accept the show's terms and conditions.
- Await confirmation from the show that you do, in fact, have tickets.
- Standby? Arrive at your discretion (no particular time is officially offered). Gather at 513 West 54th Street, between 10th Ave and 11th Ave in midtown New York..
- One standby ticket per person will be issued.
- The catch? A standby ticket does not guarantee entrance.
- You must be 18 or over to attend. And you must bring government ID to be admitted.
Tips:
- You must be 18 or over to attend. And you must bring government ID to be admitted.
- Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in the studio. Also, no cameras or recording devices of any kind.
- Tickets are non-transferable and you may only attend a taping once every six months, unless asked back by the staff.
- Audiences are often overbooked. Admission is not guaranteed, even though you have a ticket.
What You Need
- Government issued photo ID.
