+ Ticketsguide
Now, of course you would like to be a part of the Friends audience for once and experience a real taping. To laugh at all the jokes, get to see all the bloopers, maybe even meet the stars, would't that be great? Well, this is the way to get your tickets!
Many thanx to the webmaster of The Friends Caf� for this information! To read about how she experienced her day at a "Friends" taping, click here.
If you live in the United States and you want to get tickets, call (818) 753-3470 for automated ticket service. Otherwise, you can also write to:
Friends
Audiences Unlimited, Inc.
100 Universal City Plaza, #153
Universal City, CA
USA, 91608
You need to include a self-addressed stamped envelope and remember to use US stamps, otherwise you won't get a reply. Indicate the show title, number of tickets - there is a maximum of 4 per request - and the date of the taping (it is always a Friday). Of course you have to make sure you are in Los Angeles the same date that you want to visit a Friends taping. And for the younger fans: unfortunately the minimum age is 18 years old. The taping takes place at the Warner Bros Studios.
+ Some good advice:
- Get there early, especially if you have general admission because it's first come first serve and it would be sad if you couldn't get in.
- Keep the whole afternoon and night open. Don't make plans because you're most likely not going to be able to keep them. Tapings run around 5-6 hours long, sometimes even longer.
- Go to the bathroom before show. They said you wouldn't get a chance to during but I saw some people going. However, if you leave you will miss the scene because they can't let you in while taping.
- Bring warm clothing because it gets really chilly. I was in shorts and t-shirt and was freezing because the air-condition is on and all you do is sit there and not move (you're not allowed to get out of your seat unless you've got a good reason like going to the bathroom - and remember: you will miss a scene that way!)
- Bring food / snacks / drinks because you are bound to get hungry since it runs through dinner time.
- Do NOT bring a camera or video camera. It doesn't matter even if you have one in your bag and are not going to take it out. They are not going to let you in if you have one. Leave it in the car or at home.
For more info on how to get tickets, go to Audiences Unlimited. However, you will probably not be able to get Friends tickets from there because it's in such high demand but you'll be able to get tickets for other shows.
