To be in the SNL audience, you need to enter the ticket lottery via email. Each year in August, send an email to SNLTICKETS@NBCUNI.COM with your contact details and a brief reason why you'd like to attend. Winners are randomly selected and notified. Another option is to try for standby tickets: arrive at Rockefeller Plaza (48th Street) on the Friday night before the show and wait in line for potential unclaimed seats.
