Front Row Seats for the Action

If you even get close to Burbank when you visit California, then you would be silly not to go see the taping of a show.  The summer months can be harder to plan, because most shows take a summer break, but you can still find several if you really know how to plan it.  You can do a quick web search for the agencies that handle the ticketing, but you really need to do so in advance.  These shows sell out quickly, and for good reason.  Sitting in the audience and watching the magic happen firsthand is quite exciting, and everyone jumps at the chance to get in on the action.  The tickets are usually available thirty days before the taping but, as you can imagine, they sell out quickly.  The popular shows always go first, too, so you will really need to be on the ball.

The great thing, though, is that the tickets are free.  The studio is mostly concerned with filling the seats, so they give away tickets to ensure a responsive audience.  If you don’t plan far enough in advance, you might end up at a taping for a show that doesn’t interest you at all, but it turns out that doesn’t matter, so don’t pass up the chance just because you can’t get in to see the most popular shows.  When you enter the studio and see all of the equipment and crew, there is a buzz that starts deep in your soul.  When the director calls action, and everything jumps to life, you will feel like you’re watching your favorite show.  The magic is infectious, too.  All you have to do is look around you at all of the other smiling faces in the audience to know that you are not the only one that finds the whole process so amazing.
