Hello Everyone,
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
So this week is going to be a little different, I don't have a movie to review this week. Instead I was lucky enough to get tickets to see The Big Bang Theory being taped. So I thought it would be fun to tell you guys of that experience. Now I really like The Big Bang Theory and I have wanted to see a taping of it for a while. But tickets are really hard to come by. So I was glad when something came up for it. Alright let's get started with discussing my experience of The Big Bang Theory taping.
1) Getting the tickets
The Big Bang Theory is a popular show, everyone wants to see it being taped. Now you can get tickets and for free to but it is incredibly difficult. The way I got them was the web site www.tvtickets.com, but I didn't get them the first time I went on the site. I had to keep checking back, the key is persistence and patience, just keep checking the site. The funny thing is I wasn't expecting to get tickets at all. I just got home from work one night and check the web site and noticed there were standby tickets available so I jumped at the chance. The only thing was they were standby so I knew I had to get there very early.
2) The waiting game
The day of the taping came, my dad took the day off, I was off and we were picking my mom up at a certain time from her day job. Here's something to make sure to do before you go and that is make sure you eat a good breakfast because once you get there and get in line you do not want to get out. Unless you go with some people then one of you can do a food run. But you will get hungry. For The Big Bang Theory make sure you get there at least at noon probably no later then one o'clock. Especially if you have standby tickets. Around 3:30 the audience coordinators take you to the waiting area of the parking structure. This is when they tell you to put your cellphones in the car. That's right there is no cellphones or any electronic devices allowed in the studio. They take guarantee ticket holders and people that decide to do the VIP first. Then they take standby ticket holders. And they don't take all the standbys that's why you have to get there early. If you don't get in, they take you to an auditorium and you watch from there, but that wouldn't be any fun. The funny thing we weren't expecting to get in, they let in 42 standbys and we were 34, 35 and 36. So we got very lucky and it was worth it.
3) At the taping
When we got into the studio, they check our bags one more time and if anybody still had their cellphone they kept them until the end. They sat us down and in the studio 200 people could fit so they really packed us in. Before the taping began we got to see a brand new episode that hadn't aired. Then after that they announce cast introductions which it is hard to see the cast because everyone stand up. But that's okay because you see them enough when the taping starts. We were lucky they built a new set and we got to see three to four scenes shot right in front of us. The other set was around the corner so we had to watch it on the monitors, still cool. Now the cast doesn't mess up too much, can't afford to, but they mess up and that's funny. The taping ended at 10:00 PM and the cast do not sign autographs so when they its time to go, its time to go.
Overall it was an interesting experience but also a long day and night. Tapings for the show are Tuesdays from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM.
