How To Get ‘SNL’ Tickets 2021: NBC’s Lottery Closes Soon

“Saturday Night Live” fans interested in sitting in the studio audience for Season 47 still have time to get tickets for the iconic comedy sketch show.

“SNL” tickets cannot be bought for the 2021-22 season. Instead, they must enter a ticket lottery.

The lottery, which opened at 12 a.m. ET on Aug. 1, will remain open until 11:59 p.m. ET on Aug. 31.

To enter the lottery for “SNL” tickets, an email must be sent to Snltickets@nbcuni.com detailing why they want to be a part of the studio audience. Entries must be sent by someone who is at least 16 years old and only one email per person will be considered.

Those selected will get two tickets but will not be able to choose which show they will attend. Instead, they will receive the tickets with a random show date and time.

For the upcoming season, all guests are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to sitting in the studio audience. They will also be required to follow all COVID protocols put in place at the time.

To be considered fully vaccinated, audience members must have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least 14 days before the show or their second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.

Guests will be required to prove their vaccination by presenting a physical vaccination card that contains a US-approved vaccine.

Before the pandemic, the “Saturday Night Live” studio also had a standby line option in which they would distribute standby tickets starting at 7 a.m. the day of the show. The tickets were given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

Those who received standby tickets would have the option of attending either the 8 p.m. dress rehearsal or the 11:30 p.m. live broadcast. However, the feature does not appear on the 2021-22 “SNL” tickets page.
