Is it true that you can get free tickets to a taping of Fuller House? You got it dude! Starting in March the third season of Fuller House will begin taping at Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank, California. You can get Fuller House tickets through a company called audiences unlimited. Tickets for shows are posted Monday through Friday between 8am and 8:30am pst. Fuller House tickets tend to run out within 5 to 20 minutes of being released. Tickets are posted thirty days before the show is set to tape.
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. On occasion tickets will be posted late so don’t freak out if 8:30 comes and still no tickets are posted. Sometimes the tickets don’t get put up until 9am. 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. If you do not have the contact information for all members of your group put your own address and email in the boxes. 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 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 your ticket for the taping. If you are on your computer go ahead and print it out. If you are over 18 years of age they will want to see a valid photo id when you check in.
Parking is free at the address listed on the tickets. The waiting area has benches, restrooms, and vending machines. You will be waiting inside the parking structure so you won’t be out in the sun. Update: if they are checking people in for a taping of Ellen, you will have to wait in the sun until they leave. If possible I highly encourage bringing snacks and something to entertain yourself.
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. You are admitted on a first come first serve basis. Invited guests of the cast are let in to the taping first followed by general ticket holders and then the standby ticket holders if there are still available seats. The earlier you get there the better chance of you have of making sure that you get in.
This does mean that you could spend the majority of your day waiting in a parking garage. Unless you have VIP tickets you will need to arrive early. Last season people began lining up as early as 6am. I’m not saying that you should necessarily get there that early though. 11-11:30am would be the latest I would plan on arriving with a general ticket but it is totally up to you. It has been suggested by others who have attended recent tapings to arrive by 8am. Just remember that you are not guaranteed to get in and it is a first come first served set up with general tickets.
Update: A reader let me know that she had a standby ticket and arrived at 8:30am. She was not let in to the taping until someone left at 8:30pm. If you have a standby ticket think about whether or not you want to spend your whole day waiting for a chance to get in.
As the tapings get more and more popular fewer fans are able to get in. At some tapings less than 10 fans were let in due to how big the VIP lists were. If you are unable to get into the taping the ticketing company will try to get you tickets to a future taping. However, if you are not local that doesn’t do much to help you. If you are traveling from far away for the taping I would encourage you to arrive as early as you can to help increase your odds of getting in.
If you don’t want to get there that early you can always try to win priority tickets from the Audiences Unlimited twitter account. My friends and I have had a lot of luck with this. However, even though the contest implies that the tickets are priority, they are considered the same as general tickets so they do not guarantee that you will make it into the taping. Be sure to arrive early to increase your chances of getting in. All that winning these tickets mean is that you don’t have to request the tickets from the website.
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 you 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. For some reason they no longer allow fans to bring Full House or Fuller House dvds or cast pictures inside the soundstage to try and get autographs. I was able to get two autographs but only on plain notebook paper. Always try & come prepared with something for them to sign and make sure to have a sharpie or a pen. Once the taping ends make your way to the front row to try and meet the cast.
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. They do give you half a sandwich and a small water bottle which is better than nothing but still isn’t filling.
How long do the tapings last? 5 hours is pretty standard though one episode I watched last for seven hours. You are expected to stay the entire time so please don’t go to the taping if you have other plans that same night. The audience warm up guy talks throughout the taping when they aren’t filming to keep everyone entertained. He can be really annoying but he gives out gift cards and sometimes autographed items so it can be worth it to listen to him.
Like my shirt? You can find a similar one here
I went to two tapings during the first season of Fuller House. The very first taping I went to had to be rescheduled so if you plan on flying in for the taping please know there is a chance it can be rescheduled. 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.
If you are looking for some food close to Warner Bros. after the taping I highly recommend the Smokehouse 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. If you have any questions about the taping or getting tickets please ask them below and I will answer as quickly as possible.
Get your tickets here.
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.!!
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?
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!
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?
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!
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?
Yes I would say if you get there early enough there should be no problem in sitting together
Thank you so much for your help!! Just got my tickets and I CAN’T WAIT!!!
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
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!
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.
thank you so much, you have been such a big help!!
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! :)
Thank you so much for pointing that out I somehow missed that one.
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!!!
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.
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!
I’m so excited that you will get to see the show. I hope you have an awesome time.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
How fun! I would love to see a taping.
How cool. I still haven’t seen this, but one of these days I will binge watch it.
That’s so awesome! I’ve always wanted to go to a taping of a comedy show!
It looks like you had a great time! This reminded me of the time I went to a taping of the Ellen show.
That is a lot of waiting to see the show. If you want to meet cast members then go for it.
I saw an episode of Fuller House, I wasn’t that crazy about it.
How awesome that you went to the tapings. It must have been so fun. I wish I had the time to do this.
I so wish I had a reason to go to California. I would love to see a live taping of Fuller House. I love the show and it reminds me of my childhood.
It would be nice to be able to watch a taping at least once! What an experience. Thank you for all the tips, it’s really very exciting. I’ll be sure to try to watch a taping if I’m ever in California!
I think it would be nice to watch a live taping. I can see the tickets hard to come by. If I was in California I would try. Thanks for informative blog post.
Your so lucky that you get previews of events and taping too. I wish they did that in the UK
Wow that sounds really awesome! Thanks for this post, so informative and helpful.
Lucky you! I can’t wait to see the episodes of Fuller House. Will bring back so many great memories.
That is what I like most about California so many privileges to visit and see your favorite shows on TV. i hope someday I will be able to experience it as well.
Oh goodness, it would be so fun to watch the taping of Fuller House, live. I’ve seen it on Netflix and really liked it. I miss the twins though.
OHHHH I’m so jealous! I would LOVE to go to a taping of the show <3 That was one of my fav's growing up and I binged the first season on Netflix in like 2-3 days LOL.
Wow that would be so amazing to see! I loved watching the first season and I can’t wait for the next!!
What a great info! I loved that show! Looking forward for more!
Awww! I would join too if I live near. This is an amazing moment to watch the stars taping.
What a cool experience! I would love to do this. I need to find some to go with me; my husband would never agree to do it.
I used to watch full house but I have not shown any interest in this new part
I once had an experience to watch a taping of a tv program and yeah cellphones and cameras were prohibited. Seeing in person the artists makes you admire them more.
sounds like you had an amazing time!
Wow! This is amazing! For sure lots of fans would love to get free tickets for this!
Sounds like so much fun! It would be awesome to watch a live taping!!!
wow! Lucky you! I am not that kind of girl that would go …. but I am happy for you my friend :)
I would love to go to a tapping of anything! I’m so glad you share these insights.
I’m waiting for this series to hit Netflix..
I am glad you enjoyed the taping. In some ways, Fuller House is better than Full House. I’ve seen both and I like what I have seen with Fuller House.
That is so cool! I love Fuller House!
Hi! I have tickets to go to the season 2 premiere and im so excited!! I was wondering when will they tell us if the show does get rescheduled? I’m flying in and I would hate to miss the show due to a rescheduled time :( Thanks again!
Hi! I am so excited for you that you got tickets to the season 2 premiere. With rescheduling it can be a few days out or the day before. There is not much notice on that.
Fuller House looks like a great movie to watch. I would love to have a free ticket but I am not in the same country as yours lols.
Nisha- was it hard to get tickets to the premiere of season 2? It seems like you really have to be waiting on your computer at 8am the day they are available since more people know about this now. I am hoping to go to a taping in July and I’m just trying to do all the research I can to make sure and get tickets!!!
Allison, you do have to be waiting on your computer at the time they are released. Tickets are gone within 15-30 mins of being released
Thanks Elle! Your blog is amazing!! So informative and so fun to read! I might contact you again with other questions if I can get tickets!! You’re great!
You are so sweet! Contact me anytime you have any questions. You can always email me too if you prefer to contact me that way at contactus@mybelleelle.com
Hi,
Thank you SO much for telling us how to get Fuller House taping tix! I just got them today for June, but I have a question. My husband didn’t know if I would be able to be on my computer at work so he got all 5 of them, I didn’t know he was going to so I got 5 of them and my son got some. I don’t want to keep others from having tix but I don’t want to risk contacting them and having a big mess and mixup and not being on the list at all. Do you know what I should do? Thank you!
I am so excited that you got tickets! I hope you have a great time at the taping. I would wait to see if they contact you and if they do just explain that you didn’t realize that they would be getting tickets in addition to you. Honestly, I doubt they’ll contact you about it. I agree that you don’t want a mixup and not be on the list at all.
Thank you! I called then and they said they delete duplicate tickets so they already had then taken out. He did read me our names and said we have reservations so yay!
Hi! I got tickets to the June 9th taping. It’s a morning taping around 11 and i just got an email saying that check- in is at 930. Have you had experience with a morning taping and if so what is the crowd like? Also, it says that free parking opens up 2 hours ahead of the taping. If I’m there before the two hours is there any street parking around? Thanks!
Hi Bethany, as far as I know the taping on the 9th is the first to be in the morning. Due to that I really don’t know what to suggest. I do know that for afternoon tapings people arrive as early as 8am and are let in the parking garage with no problem. Other people that I know who are going are planning on arriving between 6 or 7am and will try to park in the parking structure. The only thing I’m thinking might be an issue is the parking garage might not open until 7 or 8am. I wish I had more helpful information. I hope you get in and hope you have a great time.
Thanks for the info. We are from WI but staying about coming 60 miles south so trying to figure out traffic and everything. May be an early morning. :/
I would love to get into a taping on 8/5/16… My flight doesn’t get into LA till 1pm. Do I not even have a shot of getting in?
To be honest no you cannot get there that late and get in. I’m sorry but it is true. You would need an earlier flight
I appreciate you telling me that now! Maybe next time!
Hi Elle, thank you for letting us know all this info, greatly appreciate it. You said they rescheduled one of your tapings, was it rescheduled to a date weeks later or only a couple days? I’m buying my flight tickets and trying to figure out how much buffer days I should give just in case. Also can you bring a small bag/purse into the taping? Or is it no bags allowed. Thanks for all the info, I’m so excited to go!
Hi Nicole, I am so excited that you will be going to a taping. The taping that I went to that was reschedule was changed by one. You can bring in a small purse.
Thanks for the tips! I have tickets for an upcoming taping for a 4pm show. If we arrive at the studio by 11am, does that mean we are without our phones from 11am – 8pm or so? Also, would they allow us to bring a book or magazine while waiting?
You are welcome to have your own while you are waiting in the garage but you will be required to take it back to your car. Service is very poor so unless you need to make phone calls I’d leave it in the car. And based on what I’ve been hearing from recent shows you will want to show up earlier than 11. You can bring a book or magazine while you wait.
We are going to the taping tomorrow 7/1. Any updates on some of these comments after they went to the show? Curious as to how they went recently and what time they arrived?
The most recent taping I attended was in May and arrived at 11:30 and barely made it in. A friend went in June and arrived around 9am.
Hi Elle, thanks for all this information! We have found it so helpful and have tickets to a taping! Just wondering how long the taping has taken the times you’ve been? We’re getting conflicting information. Thanks!!
The longest taping I have attend was 7 hours but they are typically around 5. I’m so excited that you got tickets! Hope you have a blast.
Hello! The longest taping i’ve attended has been 7 hours. A typical taping is 5 hours
Thanks so much for the reply! That’s really helpful!
My wife and I attended the 7/1 taping and just barely got in. We flew in from FL so we were really hoping to see the show. We arrived at 8am and we already 27/28th in line. So get there early! The entire cast was there for the taping so lots of VIP guests attended. There were at least 150 people in our line hoping to get in and they only let in about 23 and sent everyone else home. In hopes that someone might leave the taping early (which lasted from 430-930) we waited and got in about 6p. Front row seats and it was an amazing experience!
Thank you so much for putting this together! I assume that the times you listed are in PST (Pacific Standard Time)? Just checking, as I live elsewhere. Thanks!
Hi is it possible to meet the cast and get an autograph and do you get to pick your seats or do they tell you where to sit? and where is the best place to sit?
Hi Amanda, it is possible to get autographs if the cast approaches the seating area following the taping. they won’t let any Full House or Fuller House items in to get autographed so paper and a pen or sharpie is your best bet. you don’t get to pick your seat so i can’t really say where the best place to sit is because they will tell you where to go. Hope you enjoy!
So for the Taping on April 13th, is it an afternoon taping? We have a flight landing at 9:30 am on that day and want to see if we can still make it for the taping. We have friends that will already be in LA the day before, so we were thinking we could meet there. We would probably make it around 11am at the latest (catching an uber).
One more question, if you showed up at 11am, did they give you a number and you waited until 4pm? So you waited 5 hours in the garage. Cant you go somewhere and come back when they start calling numbers around 3?
I just realized I need to update my post. When I got there at 11am it was the very first taping of Fuller House ever. Things have changed a lot since then so I need to update the post. Last season people started arriving as early as 5-6am. At some tapings as few as 20 ticket holders were let in so it is hard to get in without priority tickets. I recommend to start following Tvtickets.com on twitter so enter their contests for priority tickets. With those types of tickets it would be fine for you to arrive later in the day. -Elle
The way the Fuller House tapings have worked in the past is they don’t check people in until an hour or two before the show stars and once they check in VIP and priority they start on general. General is first come first served so if you leave someone from your group will need to stay and hold your spot in line. So yes you can leave but don’t all leave at once. It isn’t like where you check in when you arrive, get a number and can come back. Check in times vary too so having someone stay behind to keep you updated is important. And yes, every time I’ve gone to the tapings I have waited for hours. Even with priority tickets I still waited two hours at least. -Elle
I can’t wait for the new ones to come out and be aired. We really enjoy this series.
I can’t wait either! I am so ready to see what happens next. Hoping that DJ ends up with Steve somehow. – Elle
Great blog, thanks for the info. On the ticket site there are standby tickets…can you explain how those tickets/process works?
Hi Elle,
I have tickets for the fuller house taping on 4/21. I want to make sure I get in so realistically what time do you think I should get there?
Hi Blake, the standby tickets are new this season. Previously, only the big bang theory had those. All tickets other than VIP are considered standby so I’m not exactly sure how these are working. I’m assuming it just means that they are the lowest priority tickets which means anyone with that ticket would be let in last. I will be going to the 4/13 taping so once I can see how this works in real life I’ll be able to provide more information. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful with info on that. – Elle
Hi Kristen,
It looks like so far the VIP lists at the tapings aren’t too crazy so a lot of fans are getting in. I would say arrive around 9-10 as long as you’re okay waiting that long. I’ll be going to the 4/13 taping and I can update you on how the line & arrival times are that day. – Elle
Yes! Thank you that’ll be great! You’re a life saver. I’m flying in from Miami for vacation. Do you live in LA?
how slim are your chances if you have standby tickets?
It is hard to say because it completely depends on how big the VIP list which isn’t something that non employees have knowledge of. It’s worth trying but just be sure to arrive early so that you will be the first standby ticket holder let in if they have space. I’ve been checking social media and so far I’ve seen no complaints about people not getting in. I feel like you have a great chance to get in and I hope I’m right. -Elle
I live near LA. I’m in a different city & country but close enough that I’m there often for work & for play. Will this be your first visit to California? – Elle
Hi Elle,
With standby tickets, how early do you think I should arrive? I know I’m last to get in after VIP & GA, so we will see what happens. Did you say we can have a phone in line as long as we don’t mind turning it in at the entrance?
Yes they will check your phone in if you don’t or can’t leave it in your car. I’ve been trying to get updated information since I haven’t been to a taping yet t his season on how early people should arrive. I’m nervous to give you the wrong time and mess up your chances of getting in. To be safe I would say arrive before 11am but at this point is just a guess. I have been checking social media after every taping. Last year I would see so many posts about people complaining that they waited all day and didn’t get in. This year I have yet to find a single post like that so I’m assuming people are having a lot of luck getting in. -Elle
Hi,
Thanks for this article. Very useful information!
One question. What do you mean by VIP tickets? Are they different from regular tickets or are just regular tickets contrasted with the Standby one?
Thanks for everything!
VIP tickets are given to friends and family of the cast and crew. They get priority entrance, get to bring their phones, and can go down on set with the cast after. They are completely different from regular and standby tickets. -Elle
Thanks Elle for you reply!
Two more questions:
1. Is the tvtickets.com webpage the only way to get tickets to Fuller House?
2. If I get tickets (not standby) do I get a guaranteed seat? (maybe you are not sure now, but let me know when you get to see the show this year)
Thanks so much!
I am going to LA from Peru and this is a lifetime opportunity and I wouldn’t want to miss it!

The only other way to get tickets is by winning a twitter contest with the tvtickets.com people. You are not guaranteed a seat though with a regular ticket you will be let in before the standby ticket holders. -Elle
Thanks for sharing! I had standby tickets for last weeks show but couldn’t get time off of work :( I tried today starting at 8 am but the website was down off and on and I kept seeing other show tickets become available. I realize now that tickets won’t be released until 4/12/17 so will try again then!
Thanks for reading! I hope you make it to a taping and have a great time. -Elle
I am super excited! I got 2 tickets this morning to Fuller House for 5/12/17 taping! Automatically I kept getting sold out but I tried 4 more times and was able to get my tickets. Thank you so much for your encouragement. Can’t wait to tell everyone about it!
Yay! I am so excited for you. That is awesome that you didn’t give up and kept trying. I hope the taping is everything you hope it will be. -Elle
Hi Elle,
did you make it to todays taping? if so how long was the wait and what time should I arrive, etc. Hope you are having a great time!
Hi, I did make it to today’s taping and was very surprised by a few things. So far this season people are not waiting crazy long hours like the last two seasons. I had priority tickets and arrived at 1:30pm for a 4:00pm taping. The Fuller House line had been moved outside to accommodate for the Ellen crowd in the parking garage. We had to wait out in the sun for about an hour. As far as I know everyone made it in. I would arrive by 1:30pm at the latest. -Elle
That’s awesome! How long did the taping last and do you think it’s worth it?
Tonight’s taping ended at 9 so it was 5 hours long. I’ve gone to a taping every season which I do because I love the cast so for me it’s worth it. Though the audience warm up guy drives me crazy so parts of the taping can be annoying. I’m going again next month. -Elle
Hi Elle,
This is a great post! Two questions for you – my mom’s name on the ticket isn’t her full name. Her full name is Jacqueline and I put Jackie on the ticket. Do you think I need to change this? Also, what do you think the best time is to arrive at the studio? I was thinking around 1pm. Do you think i will be able to get in?
Thanks!
Do you have a regular or standby ticket? If you have standby you might want to arrive earlier than 1pm. I don’t think you need to change her name on the ticket since they would realize Jackie would be a nickname. -Elle
I have a regular ticket.
I too was at the April 13th taping with a standby ticket. I arrived at 8:30 am and was 9th in the standby line. When the taping began at 4pm, no one in the standby line got in. They said however, that as people leave the taping early, if they do, they would let people in the standby line in on a one for one basis. They said anyone beyond #25 should just go home. I did not get in until 8:30pm and was only able to see the last scene for about 20 minutes and then it was over.
I am so sorry that you didn’t get in until 8:30. Thank you for updating me. I saw a some standby people during the taping so I just assumed that they had gotten in earlier. Thank you for the info. I will be sure to update the post. -Elle
Hi Elle!
I got Tickets for Fuller House for May 25th!!!
I won Priority!!!!…Super excited!!!…I need to arrive 90 minutes before the taping starts.
I am so happy!!!
Hey thanks for this article. I am from austria and i go to Los Angeles on 19th of may. I got tickets for 25th of may. What means GENERAL ADMISSION/PRIORITY ticket. Is it VIP?
Sorry for my bad english ;-)
Nice greets
Hi! I have priority tickets for May 25th too so I’ll see you there. It is not VIP. It just means that you are let in after VIP and invited guests but in front of standby. You are still not guaranteed to get it but your chances are good. -Elle
Oh really? Maybe we can meet us :-) it would be nice
I’m really exciting to be in Los Angeles in 4 weeks :-)
And i can’t believe that i have tickets for fuller house :-) i hope i will get an autograph
I’d love to meet you! I hope you can get an autograph too. Though at the last taping I went to the only way that happened was for people who won autographed items that were given away. Fingers crossed! -Elle
How can i win a autograph?? In the show?
And i have one more question.
We don’t have a car in los angeles. Is it easy to go there by bus?
Thank you so much for helping me.
The audience warm up guy gives out autographed items to a few people that he picks. It’s all about luck. I don’t know if it’s easy to go there by bus because I don’t know where it would pick up or drop off. I’m sorry. -Elle
How do you get priority tickets for the shows?
If you don’t want to get there that early you can always try to win priority tickets from the Audiences Unlimited twitter account. My friends and I have had a lot of luck with this. -this is your only option other than tickets from the site. copied this from my post so wording is funny
Is priority different than general admission tickets?
It used to be different in the past but this year it is exactly the same. -Elle
Hi Elle,
I got a general admission ticket for my wife for the 4/28 showing at 4pm and we got a following email saying please arrive no later than 2:30pm. What time would you suggest she get there and what items should she bring since she’ll be there for a long time?
Bring a book and I would recommend arriving by 12, I think in the post I mention 1130am, but that is totally up to her. -Elle
Thanks, I appreciate it!
1 more question, is there a certain parking lot she needs to park in
Yes, the one listed on the ticket. Should be Gate 4 -Elle
My daughter will be just under 12 when we will be in LA and is a Fuller House fan. There is a taping date when we will be in LA and I am considering trying for tickets. Do you think there are any exceptions to the minimum age, and how would a person get permission?
The only exception to the age rule is for children of the cast members or guests of the cast. I am so sorry. I don’t think they will say yes but you can always email audiences unlimited. best of luck. -Elle
You have a very unhappy girl tonight because of your above time to get tickets. You stated June 16 tickets would be available May 17 for viewing Fuller House. We based our entire trip to California on the taping of this show. Tonight I got on to tvtickets.com to get familiar with the ordering time tomorrow and found out there were only standby tickets available. I am sad and she is devastated that we were late..
I put the dates on there to try and help people out. I count thirty days back which would be May 17th. I have no connection to the ticketing company or Fuller House so I have no responsibility with this. In fact, in my post I am pretty clear on never suggesting to base your trip around the taping. You might also be interested to know that for some weeks only standby tickets have been made available and that the ticketing company has been posting tickets both late and early due to website malfunctions. I got that information from their twitter account. I would still get the standby tickets because a friend who went this last week said every single person including standby was let in. My other recommendation is to start following Audiences Unlimited on twitter. They give out regular tickets to winners of their contests so it isn’t too late.
I’m very sorry that the 30 day date I put up was somehow not the day they decided to put up tickets. I’ll just have to stop sharing what days people can expect to see tickets so that no one else is unhappy because of me. -Elle
Thank you Elle for replying to my comment. You have good suggestions for me and I will do just that. Thanks for taking the time to tell me what to do to maybe correct this.
Thank you so much for your advice. My dad and I went to the taping last Friday. OH MY GOSH it was amazing. Definitely the highlight of our trip. Your advice helped us a lot and gave us a good indication of what to expect. Thank you!
Oh yay!! I’m so happy that you had a great time. -Elle
Thank you for sharing your experiences. My wife and I are going to be in the LA area in July during a day scheduled for taping. We were considering trying to get tickets to bring our kids to see the taping. Without you passing along your knowledge / experience we would’ve made a big mistake. Thank you!
Thank you for reading! I hope you have a great trip. -Elle
Hi Elle, thank you for this article. We got tix for June 30th 4pm. Any updates on how big the VIP lines have been this month? Also where else on Facebook etc are people posting info on lines and wait times? TIA!
Hi Karina, From what I’ve seen at the two tapings I’ve been to and what I’ve seen on social media the VIP lines have been small this year which is great news for everyone. Twitter and/or Instagram is the best place for info on the lines. I’m so excited that you will be going to a taping. I hope you have a great time. -Elle
Just thought to check in again and see if there are any changes to what is the recommended time to get there. We have tickets for 6/30!
I would recommend early! 1030-11am. If you have general tickets. -Elle
FYI – Longer explanation and rant below, but in short I recommend arrival time for general ticket holders to be no later than 8am.
I went to the June 30 taping. Not sure if it was the holiday weekend or that school was out, but thought you should know that the suggested arrival time for general tickets should be close to 8am, if not earlier. I arrived around 8:45am and was within the first 10 general ticket holders that got into the sound stage. I heard that only about the first 20 general ticket holders got in that evening – at least from the start of the filming – once other audience members left the taping further into the evening, others still waiting were able to fill their seats. (for the previous week’s taping, I heard only seven general ticket holders got in.)
A majority of the general and stand-by ticket holders didn’t arrive until around 11am and that’s probably because that’s the suggested arrival time from audiences unlimited. Unfortunately, if you followed that you would not have gotten in. I understand the need to provide more tickets than actual seats to make sure it’s filled, but having a few dozen people with “general” tickets be turned away isn’t working for them. Why not do 10 or less general tickets and everyone else stand-by to help set expectations? I get that it’s first come, first serve and not guaranteed, but Audience Unlimited has given me the impression a few times that they have cut down their general ticket allocation so that as long as you’re on time to the taping, you’ll get in, but this is certainly not the case at all. I’m happy I didn’t listen to their arrive by 11/11:30 advice or else I would not have gotten in and wasted my entire day. I would caution everyone who wants to travel to LA just for this taping, not to do so. Aside from the obvious last minute cancellation for production reasons (which is understandable), your chances of getting in to see the show with general tickets is very slim.
I was told this was a VIP heavy crowd. The VIPs next to me were guests of production staff. This taping didn’t have any of the ‘special’ guest stars, just the core cast so I’d expect other tapings with John Stamos, etc. to have even more VIP guests and hence a lesser chance for general ticket holders.
Thank you for the update. Last season I recommended people arrive at 6am but I witnessed and was told by others that this season was different. Twice this season I arrived after noon and had no problem getting in. However, this was before summer started so I am sure that no school has changed that. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I will be sure to update the post with your recommendation. -Elle
Hi Elle, thank you for all your posts and valuable information!
I’d like to take my daughter who is just 2 months from turning 12. Do you know if they ask or how they confirm kids age?
Hi Andi,
I am not sure how they confirm ages since most children don’t have an id. My recommendation would be to email Audiences Unlimited but don’t mention the fact that your daughter won’t be 12. I would phrase it like “Before I bring my daughter to the taping I was curious if I need to bring any documentation to prove her age” to see what they say for how that process works. Best of luck! -Elle
Hi, what was your experience with winning priority tickets through the audiences Unlimited twitter? We won priority tickets to an upcoming show, but I am confused as to whether or not we will have any “priority” over general ticket holders? Should we plan to get there early like the general ticket holders or how does it work? thank you!
Hi Julienne, I think I explained it in the post but maybe not very well. The tickets you win from twitter, I won them before, say priority but they are the same as general so you should still plan on getting there early as the tickets do not guarantee that you will get in. Have a great time!! -Elle
I attended the 7/14 taping.
You were right. “Priority” winners on twitter mean absolutely nothing. You’re still a “general” ticket holder.
The 7/14 taping had a very high VIP guest list. I think maybe 20 general ticket holders got in out of probably 60-70 general ticket holders.
There were less than 10 ticket holders for stand by and none of those ticket holders got in. The first person to arrive for the standby line got there around 8 AM and spent the entire day only to be turned away.
Audiences Unlimited claimed to not know about the heavy VIP presence.
All I can say is standby ticket holders need to be prepared to have spent the whole day waiting for nothing. And, if you have a general ticket make sure you GET THERE EARLY. As someone else suggested, 8 AM I would say latest. This show did not have any of the legacy cast appearing in it, but there were a couple of guest stars and that may have been one reason for the high VIP list. Still, there were a lot of disappointed fans that didn’t get in due to the high VIP list. I only got in thanks to this blog, I got there very early and waited the entire day!
Hi Elle,
Thank you so much for your time in posting all the detailed information for other people when they go to see Fuller House.
My question is: You mentioned ” Twitter and/or Instagram is the best place for info on the lines”. I don’t understand how I can search for this. Can you help me.
Hi Sanaz,
While it is the best place for info on the lines it doesn’t always work because it completely depends on whether or not people decide to share line information that day. My recommendation is to search Fuller House on twitter & instagram (but twitter is better) to see if anyone has posted pictures of the line or any kind of updates. Hope that helps. -Elle
We LOVE Fuller HOUSE. My daughter is 7 years old and she would love. Love love to visit the set or be an audience member.
Really enjoyed reading this post. Last spring my family and I were fortunate enough to attend a taping of season 3 Fuller House. We had standby tickets but because the show we saw had a schedule change, everyone who had standby tickets got in. I actually had a bit of a different experience. My husband and daughter sat in the audience but because I am in a wheelchair I sat side stage with a Warner Bros studio employee. At first I was so sad because I couldn’t see what was going on on the stage (never saw the entertainer, etc.) but just from a large tv screen. But after a little while I realized I was sitting where some of the state sit in between takes so I was actually able to meet a few and got hugs from most of the kids in the show. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing a taping of season 4 :).
**oops…correction…I got to sit where some of the cast sits…
what is minimum age for taping of fuller house?
how strict are they for the age? if minimum is 10 like the show raven, and the child is 9, can you still get a ticket?
Are there show tapings that are shorter than 5 hours?
I couldn’t find it on the website at the moment but I believe it is 12 or 14. They are strict on the age restrictions but you can always email the Tvtickets.com crew to confirm the age. No the tapings are 5 hours minimum. -Elle
