Every year, some of Hollywood's greatest gather at the Oscars. However, tickets are hard to come by, unless your're Hollywood royalty that is. These tickets can be extremely rare, however they aren't impossible to get. Here's how.
Steps
-
Go to Oscars and register to sit in the bleachers lining the red carpet. Only 700 people will be chosen from the public, but the tickets are free. They draw these registrations like the lottery. These bleachers, however, aren't actually in the Awards Show themselves so this is your best chance of attending the event.[1]
-
Go to Seatfiller and apply to be a seat filler. Seat fillers wait by to fill any seats that are empty in the event that somebody leaves during the awards show, so when the camera looks into the audience it isn't full of holes.[2]Advertisement
-
Listen to radio shows, magazines, or news stations in the event the Academy releases a few seats for giveaways. This doesn't happen very often though.
-
Call your friends, and your friends of friends, to see if anyone has connections to someone who's worked in the Hollywood industry. You'd be surprised at the turn out.[3]
