David Letterman tickets

Went last month.

It's a fun thing to do once but I doubt I'd go back. Takes up a lot of your day besides just the hour or so you film. Be attractive and enthusiastic and you'll get better seats.

It is really cool to see it all go down in person but you'll likely have an obstructed due to cameras and they try to force you to laugh at everything.

Hope for a cool guest.

Do you have to win them to go, or can you buy them in advance?

I went a few years ago with my wife. It was pretty fun. You have to line up a few hours early that day. They then process everyone and give you about an hour and a half break.

They recommend hanging out at a bar around the corner, The Three Monkeys, which was a pretty solid bar.

When you get back, you have to wait a while, and the crew will talk to people and get everyone excited and geared up for the show. It is a little cold in the theater which I think is pretty typical of shows like that.

The show was pretty cool to see. I was surprised at how small the set was, but thought the same thing when I have seen sets for Conan, Jimmy Fallon, etc...

No real tips, except to be on time. There will be a line outside the theater, and I think they give you a number for the spot you are supposed to be in.

It is a fun experience.

I got some off the street day of the taping. I had a fairly fun time. No tips. You've got tickets. Get there early for better seats.
