In August, send an e-mail to [email protected]. Only one e-mail entry is allowed per household. Be sure to include all of your contact information, but do not include a requested date.
If you are chosen you will be notified by NBC, "Saturday Night Live" or their affiliates. You will receive two tickets to the show for a random show date, chosen by NBC and "SNL" staff.
Please note that entering the lottery does not guarantee you will be chosen to receive tickets, in which case you may want to try for standby tickets.
If available, standby tickets for "SNL" are distributed at 30 Rockefeller Plaza on the mornings of the tapings.
Arrive well before 7 a.m. and plan to remain in line at all times.
You can choose to attend either the 8 p.m. dress rehearsal or the 11:30 p.m. taping of the live show.
Be sure to bring a photo ID as guests are required to be 16 years of age. One ticket is issued per person.
Please note that obtaining a standby ticket still does not guarantee entry to the show, so be prepared with alternative plans.
