Season 2 Ticket FAQ
How can I get tickets?
Unfortunately the ballot closed after just a few hours on 14 August. The ballot was for the first 6 episodes. As there are 12 episodes in series 2, we expect the ballot to reopen at some point.
When will it reopen?
We do not yet know. Keep an eye on SNL UK social media! We would guess sometime in October.
How are ticket winners decided?
There is no confirmation on how winners are picked, and it may not be random. On the ballot form, there was the question along the lines of... 'Why would you love tickets?'... So the organizers may pick their favorites from those answers!
Can I give away my tickets?
If you win, you will get two tickets. The person who entered the ballot MUST attend. Your ID will be checked to ensure it matches the entry details. The ticket holder can then share their other ticket with whoever they wish.
I'm famous and important, can I get a VIP ticket?
Yes! Each week there are multiple 'VIPs'. These can be celebrities or even just friends/family of the cast. You will have to know the right people to get a VIP ticket..!
Will I know if my ticket is for the floor or upper seating?
No, this is not decided until you enter the studio. The crew pick shorter people to sit on the floor area to avoid tall people obscuring the camera. If you are not comfortable sitting on the floor area, you can opt to sit higher up.
What types of ticket are there?
You might get a ticket for the dress rehearsal (early evening) or the live show (later evening). You may also get either a ticket which guarantees entry, or you may get a ticket to be in the standby line. Standby line does not guarantee entry.
