Submit your request in August every year for Saturday Night Live tickets. If selected, you will receive an email confirmation with a statement you have won tickets to a dress rehearsal or live taping.
Arrive at 7 a.m. for stand-by tickets the morning of a live taping. You must go to "NBC Studios" marquee on 50th Street in New York City on the Rockefeller Plaza side. Purchase of a stand-by ticket is not necessary. One ticket will be issued per person, though receipt of a stand-by ticket for Saturday Night Live does not guarantee admittance.
Bring a sweater to a live taping of Saturday Night Live, as they keep the studio cold. You must be a minimum of 16 years old to attend a live taping.
Check the Saturday Night Live website to see if a new show is being taped before you stand outside to get tickets.
