Check availability at https://www.tonightshowtix.com. Tickets are usually released between 2 weeks to a month in advance, so it's advisable to check your preferred dates early. Click on calendar dates to view taping times and availability for each date.

Click JOIN WAITLIST on your desired date. Due to high demand, signing up for the waitlist is necessary to secure your spot at a taping.

• Signing up for the waitlist doesn't guarantee a ticket, so keep this in mind if you're planning a trip to NYC. However, if your ticket request is fulfilled, you'll receive notification from the ticket provider (1iota).
• To join the waitlist and attend a taping, you must be at least 16 years old, even if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Provide your details and click Next. Indicate the number of tickets you wish to reserve (up to 4 tickets per request) and express why you're excited to attend the show. While there's no guaranteed formula for securing a ticket, demonstrating enthusiasm is always recommended!

Log in to your 1iota account. If prompted, enter your 1iota login credentials to access your account. Once logged in, you'll see a summary of your request.

Click COMPLETE REQUEST to submit your ticket request. This option will be displayed directly below your request summary. Once you've submitted your request, it will be placed in the queue.

• To check the status of your request, log in to https://1iota.com/ and click MY REQUESTS in the top-right corner.

Confirm your ticket if contacted by The Tonight Show. Typically, you'll receive notification 2 weeks to a few days prior to the show if you're selected from the waitlist. Follow the instructions provided in the email to claim your e-tickets.

• You'll be required to provide the full names of all members in your group upon receiving the email from The Tonight Show. All members of your group must be present during check-in and possess valid identification.
• Tickets are non-transferable—the names you provide must match those of the individuals attending the show.

Collect your tickets during check-in. Most tapings typically start at 5 PM, though the timing may vary depending on the day's filming schedule. There may be days with two tapings, starting as early as 3:30 PM or as late as 8 PM. Refer to your ticket for the precise arrival time, but aim to arrive early to ensure entry.

• On the taping day, head to 30 Rockefeller Plaza using the West 50th Street entrance with your group. Each member must provide valid ID to obtain tickets.
• Tickets may be oversold to ensure a full audience. Arrive as early as possible to guarantee access to the show.

Allocate at least 4 hours for the taping. The entire process, from check-in to the end of the show, typically lasts around 4 hours. Plan your transportation and other arrangements accordingly.

• Personal items like backpacks, luggage, or shopping bags are not allowed inside the studio, and there are no storage facilities available. Leave your personal belongings at home or in your hotel room before attending the taping.
• If you need to alter or cancel your reservation, you can contact The Tonight Show at [email protected].
• The dress code for The Tonight Show is smart casual, so dress accordingly. Costumes are not permitted.

Visit The Shop at NBC Studios between 10 AM and 3 PM on the taping day. Even if you didn’t secure a ticket from the waitlist, you might still have a chance with standby tickets if there are last-minute openings. To qualify for a standby ticket, join the line to receive a standby card, which can later be exchanged for a ticket if any ticket holders cancel before check-in.

• The Shop at NBC Studios, situated at 30 Rockefeller Plaza like the Tonight Show, requires you to use the 6th Ave (Avenue of the Americas) entrance between 49th and 50th St.
• Standby cards are given out on a first-come, first-served basis. Though distribution starts at 10 AM, many people queue up much earlier—sometimes as early as 1 AM. It's advisable to join the line no later than 5:00 AM for the best chance of getting a card.
• Each person is limited to one standby card—if you're part of a group, ensure everyone wishing to attend the taping is present, as each individual can only obtain one standby card.

Return to Rockefeller Plaza with your standby card around 3 PM. If you've received a standby card, NBC staff will begin distributing tickets around this time. Your card will be called based on the printed number. If your number is called, claim your ticket for the taping. If not, you can try again on another day.

• Similar to waitlists, having a standby card doesn't guarantee a ticket. If there aren't enough cancellations, your standby card may not secure you a ticket upon return.
• Upon returning for your standby ticket, ensure you're prepared for the show! Leave large items like shopping bags and backpacks at home or in your hotel room, as they're not permitted in the studio and cannot be stored on-site.
• The dress code for The Tonight Show is smart casual, so dress accordingly. No costumes are permitted.

• If traveling to 30 Rockefeller Plaza by subway, you can take the B, D, F, & M to 47-50th St.
• Remember to switch off your cell phone and all electronic devices before entering the studio. Refrain from taking photos during your visit, as you may be asked to leave.
• If you're aiming for standby tickets, be prepared for a long wait in line. Bring items to enhance your comfort during the wait, such as a blanket for chilly weather, an umbrella for rain, or a portable fan for heat. It's also wise to bring refreshments, snacks, and entertainment like a book or magazine.
