BE IN THE AUDIENCE: TICKETS TO THE TALK

***This Information is for New York taping ONLY***

Ticket Information

If you plan on being in the New York area and would like to attend a taping of THE TALK please follow the instructions below. Studio tickets are free to anyone 18 years of age and older. The show tapes Monday at 2:00pm and 4:15pm, Tuesday at 2:00pm and 4:15pm, and Wednesday at 11am EST.

All requests for tickets are currently submitted online by filling out our CALENDAR TICKET REQUEST FORM (link to: http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_talk/tickets/) . Please fill out the entire ticket request form and select only one date. Multiple entries will not be honored. Due to the high volume of ticket requests, we'll do our best to honor the date that you request; however please be flexible when requesting a date.

Once your ticket request form is submitted online, a representative from our audience department will call you to book the tickets requested. Please note that submitting a request DOES NOT confirm your ticket(s) to a taping. Tickets are only confirmed AFTER you have spoken directly with a representative of the audience department. You will receive a written confirmation (via email) of your reservation. PLEASE DO NOT CALL OR EMAIL US REGARDING QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR TICKET REQUEST AS YOUR REQUESTS WILL BECOME NULL AND VOID UPON DOING SO.

If you have applied for a date and have not heard from an Audience Department Representative and you are in the New York area on the date you requested, phone calls for CANCELLATION OR STANDBY TICKETS (if available) can be obtained by calling THE DAY BEFORE THE REQUESTED TAPING DATE between 4PM and 5PM EST at 818-655-TALK (8255). If your requested taping falls on a Monday, please call between 4PM and 5PM the Friday BEFORE the taping. YOU MUST SPEAK DIRECTLY WITH AN AUDIENCE REPRESENTATIVE to book cancellation or standby tickets, if available.

You may only attend ONE taping per week as either a main ticket holder or a guest. If you submit multiple entries, apply under different names, or we recognize you as a repeat guest, entrance into the taping and any future tapings will not be granted.

Due to the high volume of requests, we will not be accepting any group submissions for the New York tapings only.

Special Needs / Individuals With Disabilities

We are committed to making THE TALK equally accessible to persons with disabilities. If you or anyone in your party has special needs and requires assistance to attend the show, please let us know when an audience representative calls to book your tickets or before the show date. We provide accessible seating (including companion seating) and other accommodations at all tapings to persons with disabilities.

The availability of accessible seating cannot be assured if the number of audience members requiring accessible seating on any given taping day exceeds the allotted number of seats. Accordingly, accessible seating may be reserved prior to the taping date by calling 818-655-8255. Reservations for accessible seating will be held and guaranteed until the scheduled arrival time (see "Seating/Check-In Line" above).

If you do not arrive by the scheduled arrival time, we can no longer hold your reservation for accessible seating and you will be placed on standby status. Any remaining, unreserved accessible seating will be available only on a first-come, first-served basis and may be released after prior accessible reservations have been accommodated to standby guests who do not require such seating. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you reserve accessible seating in advance when you speak with an audience representative to ensure your reservation. Please note that accessibility seating generally fills quickly.

Disabled guests with service animals should call at 818-655-8255 before the taping date to ensure sufficient space for the service animal. Assistive listening devices are also available for all tapings.
