If you know when you will be going to NYC, reserve tickets online. We showed up 1 hour before distribution began and ended up with tickets 24-25. Our seats were third row center. Don't even think about using your phone/camera inside. The woman behind us had hers taken away because they saw her taking pics. One word of warning, it... More

I had to follow @dailytix on Twitter to score tickets for taping. They seem to go INSANELY quick. Like...minutes. I was, however, lucky enough to log on to the website not 60 seconds after two tickets were listed for our vacation date. Lucky day! I don't agree with the people complaining about the waiting. Show up early? They TELL YOU... More

The instructions say that tickets are handed out starting at 2:30pm. We arrived at 2:30, stood on line until 3pm when we were handed a line reservation spot. Even though we came at 2:30, we ended up w/positions in the 100 range out of total audience capacity of around 200. (Pity the people who arrived at 1pm and were 50... More

Although it was a fantastic experience to go to a live taping of the daily show, there are a few tips for people that want to attend a live showing! Although you have reserved a ticket beforehand, SHOW UP EARLY! They start distributing tickets between 2.30 and 3.30, we were there at around 1.30, and got ticket #125 and #126.... More

We've been to several tv show audiences and this one had us in our seats quickly, albeit a long wait for the show to start, but when Jon Stewart came out to schmooz with the audience before the show, it was well worth it. He's a highly intelligent professional as was proven during the airing of the show we attended.... More

We reserved our tickets on line, but still had to get in line that day at 1:30 to make sure we'd get in. Then back at 4:45 for another stint in the queue. Overall well worth it. The warm up was Paul Mecurio, who was hilarious. Then Jon came out and took questions graciously. I got a little hoarse from... More

This was a fun experience. We had a great time and the whole process could not have been easier. I obtained tickets on-line about 1 month before the show date. We got in line just before the door opened for check in, which was proptly done at 2:30. Turns out we were about 80th in line and we got yellow... More
