Getting Tickets to Your Favorite Shows in New York City
How To See Live! With Regis and Kelly:
If you want tickets to the days show arrive at the studio no later than 7 a.m. and request a standby number. Standby tickets are handed out on a first-come, first-served basis, so the earlier you arrive, the better.
1.You might also have a chance at last-minute tickets by calling tel. 212/456-2410 or 212/456-3055, but this less likely than standby.
2.If you are planning a trip to NYC in the future or have the patience to wait, send your postcard (four tickets max) at least a full year in advance to Live! Tickets, Ansonia Station, P.O. Box 230777, New York, NY 10023-0777 (tel. 212/456-3054)

How to Get on the Today Show:
Wake up extra early, the earlier the better. If you think you can arrive at 7 a.m. and get a good spot to be on the Today Show, you’re mistaken. Get to the corner of 49th and Rockefeller Center before dawn. The security guards say there are already people when they arrive at 6 a.m.
Once you have arrived at an early hour, stay to the southeast corner – that way you’ll be behind where the Today Show anchors sit. If you want to be on camera bring the goofiest sign you can think of – that way you’ll be more likely to get attention on the Today Show. Remember to wear comfortable shoes – standing around for hours can get tiresome. After you pick out comfortable shoes make sure you dress appropriately for the weather, you don’t want to have to leave because you’re too cold. Try to go with a friend or a few, it will make standing in line for hours much easier. Nothing better than people to have fun with while you wait.
