Check the Martha Stewart website regularly through late August, where the live studio audience ticket request form will be posted shortly before taping for the fall season. There is no charge for tickets.
Fill out the box that will be posted with dates and ticket availability late in the summer.
Avoid filling out a reservation for a date with the notation "Audience Is Full" or "Coming Soon." You will not be able to reserve tickets for that date.
Wait to be contacted by the show, either by email or phone call, about three weeks before the date you've chosen. Remember that not all ticket requests can be honored.
Try getting standby tickets to the show, which become available about two hours before show time each day at Chelsea Television Studios, 221 West 26th Street (between Seventh and Eighth Avenues) in Manhattan.
Check the website to find out if the show you want to see is taping at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m., then make your arrival plans accordingly.
Check on auction websites like eBay. You can often find VIP tickets for this TV show and others being auctioned for a good cause.
