Fuller House Taping Review


FullSizeRender

Is it true that you can get free tickets to a taping of Fuller House? You got it dude!  Fuller House is currently taping season one at Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank, California.  And you can get Fuller House tickets through audiences unlimited who also give out tickets for shows like The Big Bang Theory.  Be sure to check the bottom of the post for the link to their website.  Tickets for shows are posted Monday through Friday between 8am and 8:30am pst.  Fuller House tickets have been going pretty quick so it is best to be on the website around that time frame.  Tickets are posted thirty days before the show is set to tape and by taking a look at the previous dates for Fuller House you can get an idea of their taping schedule.

For a list of the taping dates and for a list of dates when the tickets should be available check the bottom of the post.  Here’s some helpful information that I have learned from getting Fuller House tickets myself.  When you go to the website you can click on the 30 day schedule and then click on any show to pull up an order form.  The order form is the one you want to keep refreshing on your screen between 8am to 8:30am because when the tickets finally become available in the dropbox this is the quickest way to get them.  For popular shows like Fuller House saving a couple seconds can make it possible to get tickets for your whole party.  Please note that you can only request one ticket at a time and if you do not have the contact information for all members of your group put your own address and email in.  I have since learned that it is not required to provide your contact information but I would encourage you to do so because if taping times change then you will be notified.

It is best to know ahead of time who you plan to bring with you because you will need to put their name on the ticket.  However, in the faq section of the audiences unlimited website it does say that you can email them about changing the name.  Just make sure to reach out to them about changing a name more than 24 hours before your taping date.  Once your request has been processed you will see you ticket for the taping and if you are on your computer go ahead and print it out.  If you get the tickets from your phone just take a screenshot of the tickets and email it to yourself so that you can print it from your email.  If you are unable to print the tickets it is not the end of the world because they keep a list of all of the people who got tickets.  If you are over 18 years of age they will want to see a valid photo id, preferably your drivers license, when you check in.

Parking and check in will take place at Warner Bros. Gate 8 which is located off of Forest Lawn Dr.  I would encourage you to park on the lowest level because that is where you will check in and wait for until they walk you to the soundstage.  So if you want to bring snacks or something to entertain yourself you can take it back to your car before you head for the soundstage.  How early should you plan on being there?  It is completely up to you but the tickets state that having a ticket does not guarantee that you will get in.  Getting in to the taping is on a first come first serve basis and invited guests of the cast get priority so the earlier you get there the better chance of you have of making sure that you get in.  However, this does mean that you could spend the majority of your day waiting in a parking garage so that is up to you how you wish to spend your day.  I arrived at Gate 8 at 11:30am to line up for a 3:30pm taping for Fuller House yesterday and there were already twenty six people ahead of me.  The first group got there at 9am.  They started checking us in around 2pm and everyone was able to make it in but that will not always be the case.

Fuller House was supposed to tape the first episode last week but it was canceled.  I got very excited about that because I thought that meant that the taping scheduled for July 24th, which I had tickets for, would now be the first episode.  For those of you who don’t know the first episode of Fuller House is suppose to have all the cast members from Full House minus the Olsen twins.  Jeff Franklin confirmed at the taping that even Nicky and Alex will be in that episode which will be taping on July 31st so if you have tickets to that screening you are extremely lucky!  And if you have an extra ticket please let me know.  This past Tuesday I got tickets for a Fuller House taping in August and found out a few hours later that they were releasing more tickets for the tapings on July 24th and July 31st.  Thinking that the 24th was the reunion episode I got tickets but then I got an email on Thursday saying that the taping on the 24th was canceled and would be rescheduled for Saturday.  Luckily I was still able to go to the taping but it is something to keep in mind for those of you who plan on coming to a taping from far away.  There is no guarantee that the tapings won’t get canceled and there is no guarantee that if they do get canceled it will be rescheduled before your trip ends.

Unfortunately cellphones and cameras are not allowed inside the taping.  It is strongly encouraged by the audiences unlimited team for you to leave your phone in your car.  However, for those who do not drive to the taping they will hold on to your phone and id for your during the taping.  They search your bags twice and make you walk through two metal detectors so there is no way to try to sneak one in.  I was really hoping they would let us bring our phones in because I wanted to try and take some pictures with the cast but I also brought Jodie Sweetin’s book and one of the seasons of Full House on dvd to try and get some autographs.  I wasn’t able to get any autographs after the taping but that doesn’t mean that they might not sign things after other tapings.  I just always try to come prepared for anything.  Speaking of coming prepared it can get cold on sound stages since they want to try to keep the actors and equipment cool from the hot lights so it is recommended that you bring a jacket.  Also bring snacks because you will get hungry even if you eat a big meal before hand.

It was around 3:00pm when I finally got to take a seat in the soundstage and I could hardly believe that I was about to watch a taping of Fuller House.  I grew up watching Full House and it has been my favorite show for so many years and I would have never imagined that I would get the chance to come and see the first taping of its spin off show.  At 3:30pm we were told that they wanted to show us the first episode of Full House prior to the taping.  I thought that it was interesting that they wanted to show the first episode instead of the last because you would think they would want us to remember how the show ended.  But by the time the taping ended I understood why they showed us the first episode of Full House and all I can say is that when you watch Fuller House episode two you will understand how it relates to the very first episode of Full House.  It is so amazing to see such an incredible show that means so much to the fans come full circle.  Warning for big Full House fans this series is probably going to make you emotional.

After we finished watching the first Full House episode Jeff Franklin, the creator of Full House and Fuller House, came out to thank us for coming to the very first taping.  We also got to see Bob Boyett and Tom Miller whose names you might recognize from the credits of Full House episodes.  He then introduced the cast, minus one important character who saved his entrance for the middle of the taping, and it was incredible to get to see the cast members reunited.  I only wish that Bob, Lori, Scott and Nicky and Alex could have been there.  But it was still incredible to see Dave, Andrea, Candace, Jodie and later in the taping John.  We were also introduced to the adorable children who play DJ and Kimmy’s children and I am so thrilled to tell you that they are amazing.  I was a little hesitant about the show at first because I wasn’t sure how the children would impact the show but the casting directors have done an amazing job and I am so excited to see where the show will go.

Before the taping began Dave mentioned that even though he was not in the second episode he wanted to come and support his family because the Full House cast really is family.  To me this is one of the reasons that Full House still has such a huge fan base because of the incredible cast and the way that they have continued to be a part of each others lives over the years.  I am sorry to disappoint you by saying that I won’t be mentioning what happened in the episode because I do not want to spoil anything all I can say is that if you are a big Full House fan I think you will love Fuller House.  Not only will you see some familiar faces but you will also see a familiar set.  If you were a Boy Meets World fan but disappointed by Girl Meets World I don’t think that will be the case with Fuller House.  And it makes me so incredibly happy to say that.

BobsBigBoy

The taping lasted for five hours and we were given a small sandwich and a water bottle but please consider bringing snacks.  Also make sure to wear comfortable shoes because it is a bit of a walk from where you park to the soundstage.  If you are looking for some food close to Warner Bros. after the taping I highly recommend Bob’s Big Boy which is less than three minutes from the studios.  If you get to go to a Fuller House taping I hope it is a dream come true like it was for me.  Now I just have to patiently wait for 2016 when the show will air on Netflix.  If you have any questions about the taping or getting tickets please ask them below and I will answer as quickly as possible.

    Great post! Sounds like an amazing experience! You wouldn’t happen to know where I could get a couple extra tix for the 8/20 taping, do you? I’m wanting to fly out and attend, and that is the only date that works. I’m so sad I missed them when they were first released. :(
    Also, did I read that you were a Disney CM? I was for 3 years in FL. Thanks again for the post. Loved reading about the return of F.H.!!

  • Elle Post author

    The only way to get tickets is if there is a large number of cancelations and they reopen the tickets on the website. I would encourage you to email or call them to see if they can notify you if tickets become available. But it is a big uncertainty since the tickets have already been released and I wouldn’t want you to fly out for nothing. You can email them at tickets@audiencesunlimited.com or call them at 818.260.0041 and hopefully they can try and help you. I wish I could help you with tickets but I don’t know of anyone with extra tickets but if I find out I’ll let you know. Good luck! And yes I was a Disney CM, I worked at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. At Disneyland I worked on the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, at World of Disney and eventually worked in Guest Relations where I became a tour guide before leaving the company. At Walt Disney World I worked on the Living With the Land boat ride at Epcot. Where did you work at?

  • Ryan

    OK, cool. I’ll give that a shot. Thanks for the info. I worked in entertainment and was global (all four FL parks). Good times! That’s awesome you worked your way up to Guest Relations. Some very cool experiences, I’m sure. Thanks again for the reply!

  • Eileen Brady

    Thanks for the great post!! Very informative. So if we have multiple people attending the taping, would you recommend having each person log on and purchase the tickets so each person assuredly gets one? And also, it is 30 days before, not a month, correct? So if I’m looking to purchase tickets for the September 11 taping they will go on sale on August 12?

  • Elle Post author

    Hi! If you have multiple people going it is possible for one person to try and get all of the tickets back to back. I have been able to get up to three tickets at a time and probably could have gotten more because I am familiar with the process. If you are looking to get more than five tickets I would recommend having everyone try to get their own. And yes it is 30 days before, not a month so the Sept 11th tickets should be available on august 12th. Just make sure whoever gets the tickets is on the order page ready to go anytime 8:00-8:30am & it should work out great! Good luck!

  • Eileen Brady

    Ok, fantastic! Thank you. And if you have multiple people going and get there early enough, will your party most likely be able to sit together?

  • Elle Post author

    Yes I would say if you get there early enough there should be no problem in sitting together

    Love this blog! Every time I check the website it says sold out! How do you get tickets? I went on the website and it always says sold out! How did you get tickets?!?! Thanks great article

  • Elle Post author

    At the bottom of the post I list the dates of the upcoming tapings & the dates that the tickets should be made available. Tickets are released between 8am-830am exactly 30 days before the show tapes. Tickets go very fast because it is a popular show so unless you are on the website ready to get tickets between 8am-830am pst exactly 30 days before an upcoming taping date you will always see it being sold out because tickets are released on a first come first serve basis. I hope that answers your questions & I hope it works out for you to get tickets because i think you’ll love it.

  • Me

    When you say “familiar set” do you mean that the spinoff is set in the same house as the original?!

    When you say “familiar set” do you mean that the spinoff takes place in the same house as the original?

  • Diana

    thanks for posting this, it’s super helpful! I have tickets to the taping next week! How were your seats for the taping? And do you know approx. how many people get into the audience for the taping?

  • Elle Post author

    Hi Diana,
    I’m so excited that you have tickets for next weeks show because I think you will love it!! The first time I went to the taping I had seats in the fourth row towards the center and I went again yesterday and was in the fourth row on the far right. The view was a bit better the first time but you don’t have control over where they seat you and I figure as long as I can be watching the taping any seat is a good seat. Typically though the earlier you get there the better seat you will get though the best seats are given to the VIP guests. How many general ticket holders get in depends on how big the VIP list is. When I was at the first taping everyone got in to my knowledge. However, I had a friend go the second week and the VIP list was so huge that only 25 people got in from the general ticket line. It stinks to have to wait for so many hours when you get there early but it would stink even more to show up closer to the start time and not get in. I hope that answers your questions and I hope you make it in and have and awesome time.

  • Diana

    thanks so much! oh and I just thought of a couple more questions, when waiting in line, are you standing the whole time? or are there any chairs to sit on? and what time do you recommend I get there? my taping is at 4:00!

  • Elle Post author

    there are benches to sit on and it is in a covered area. i would say at least arrive by 11am-11:30am at the latest and that should be good enough to get in though there is no guarantee. even though it stinks to spend your whole day waiting better to do that then show up later and not get in.

  • Sasha Michael

    Under the September dates you forgot the September 11 filming. Tickets are no longer available but I just thought you may want to add it. Great post! :)

  • Elle Post author

    Thank you so much for pointing that out I somehow missed that one.

  • Eileen Brady

    It’s me again! Thanks to your fantastic post, I will be attending the filming this Friday and I’m SO EXCITED!! I was wondering if you could answer a few last minute questions about the experience.
    -We will be staying at a hotel and are also planning on arriving extremely early so we will have our phones with us in line. Will there assuredly be a place to put our phones during the filming?
    -Is there a place with a “fuller house” sign to get a picture in front of (like outside of the door/stage where it’s filmed)? Before the metal detectors preferably so that I’ll still have my phone to take a picture. Or if there isn’t a fuller house sign, is there a cool Warner brothers sign?
    -I know the cast wasn’t signing autographs during your filming, but have you heard of them signing them other times?
    Thank you so much in advance and thanks again for this post; it was incredibly helpful!!!

  • Elle Post author

    Hello again! There is a small Fuller House sign in the waiting area before you go through the metal detectors so you can take a picture. And yes there is 100% for sure a place to leave your phone. Before you go inside the soundstage they will take your phone and put your id with it to make it easy for you to get it back. And the Candace, Jodie and Andrea have been signing things for fans after the recent tapings but you have to be very quick about it because the audience workers try to make you leave asap. I hope you have an awesome time.

  • A

    Just a quick thanks for posting all of this! It was great to read that I will have a covered place to wait and a recommended arrival time. Much appreciated!

  • Elle Post author

    I’m so excited that you will get to see the show. I hope you have an awesome time.

  • Barbara

    Hi! Thanks so much for this. I just got tickets for in October. By any chance can you tell me if you have to wait in line once you arrive, or do you receive a number and you’re free to move around? Are there bathrooms available and do you lose your spot if you go? Thanks!

  • Elle Post author

    Hi Barbara, I’m so excited to hear that you have tickets to go in October! I hear the show is getting better and better each episode. You do have to wait in line once you arrive. There are benches to sit on so at least you don’t have to stand the whole time. You will not receive a number until check in begins which will start roughly an hour or so before the show is set to tape. You want to make sure and be there before check in begins and you are free to get up and use the restroom I would just have someone in your party watch your spot. The restrooms are right next to wear you sit so that is very convenient. I hope you have a great time!

  • Jennifer

    Hi! Great post, thank you for sharing! We are going to watch a live show and I’m SO excited! I noticed you got there at 11:30am, do you recommend getting there at that time or earlier? How many people were actually in the audience? Also, do you recommend a certain item for them to sign since you can’t bring a camera/phone in the taping? How did you get those photos if you can’t bring in those items?
    Sorry so many questions…I’m just SO excited!

  • Chelsey Cook

    This has been so helpful! Thank you for your post! We have tickets for the taping on Thursday (October 15th) and made the trek all the way from Canada. A few questions, if you are able to answer:
    1. How many people are in the studio audience?
    2. Is 11:00-11:30 am still your suggested time to arrive at the latest?
    Thanks!

  • Elle Post author

    I am so thrilled that you are SO excited!! I would still encourage you to plan on arriving around 11:30am. It is difficult to try and guess how many spots will be saved for VIP guests but 11:30 will should work out just fine. I would say the audience holds around around 100-150 but I could be wrong and it could hold more. I would recommend bringing a dvd of Full House if you have one to have them sign. Candace and Jodie both wrote books but I don’t know if you would want other cast members signing the book. The two photos on my blog were taken before I got to Warner Bros. I hope you have an awesome time.

  • Elle Post author

    Hello! 11-1130 is still my recommended time to arrive unless you have tickets for the last episode of the season which I think is on 11/12. I would guess that there are around 100-150 in the studio audience. I hope you have a great time.

  • Lisa

    I have tickets for the finale taping at 4:00pm. I was planning on arriving at 1pm. You think it should be much earlier? Lisa

  • Elle Post author

    If you don’t want to risk it yes. I know others going that day that are planning on getting there at 9:00am. The later you go the less likely it is that you will get in. Even 11:30-12 should still be ok but it all depends on how much of your day you want to spend there.
