I know a lot of you have been hoping to get tickets to 30 Rock‘s Live Show – which will be filmed twice (once for east coast, once for west coast) in SNL’s studio at 30 Rockefeller Center on April 26 – but there’s bad news, all of the tickets to both tapings have already been reserved.
I spoke to a representative for NBC this morning who said they recently received a memo saying all of the tickets for the live show were gone. When I asked about the possibility of NBC releasing stand-by tickets the day of the live show, he told me he didn’t think so “because the list [of audience members] was so long”.
But, don’t give up hope yet. Even though NBC says there won’t be stand-by tickets, they did hand them out before the last live taping in 2010 and some people did get in, so it could still be worth a try. (Check out the stand-by ticket instructions I posted during the last live taping here.)
If you’re feeling lucky, NBC is giving away 2 tickets to the 30 Rock Live Show Rehearsal, which you can enter at my.nbc.com (but do it fast, the sweepstakes closes at 5p.m. today).
If you have a couple thousand dollars to burn, CharityBuzz is also auctioning off 2 tickets to the live show. Right now biding starts at $400, but considering there are still 3 days left on this auction we’re sure the final bid will be up in the thousands. You can check out the auction here.
According to The Huffington Post, the live show will focus on Kenneth trying to convince Liz and Jack that TGS should remain a live show. “When their Kabletown bosses announce they will no longer pay for ‘TGS’ to be a live show, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) and Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) realize their lives will actually be easier if they shoot canned episodes fast and cheap. Only Kenneth the Page (Jack McBrayer) objects, urging that nothing can replace the communal experience of live television. He tries to convince the ‘TGS’ staff to fight for their right to be live by taking them and our audience through a magical look back at the illustrious history of Studio 6H.”
