Q&A for How to Attend a Taping of Jeopardy

Just call them and tell them that you accidentally booked tickets.

Generally, Jeopardy has two tape times per taping day, one in the AM and one in the early afternoon. These can change from week to week, so refer to the ticket provider for exact times prior to ordering tickets.

Parking is free for audience members. Drive up to Sony's western gate on Overland Avenue with your ticket and ID, and security will show you where to go. You will check in at a designated area in the parking garage.

Generally, Jeopardy has taping dates in September. Check the ticket websites starting in August.

You can bring a camera to the studio, and there is a designated area to take souvenir photos. However, photos are not permitted inside the taping. The staff will give you instructions as to where to store your phone/camera prior to entrance.

There is no exact time, as the production's needs can change from day to day, but you should plan on spending a total of 3-4 hours at the studio. You will most likely spend 30-45 minutes in the line-up prior to being brought into the studio for seating. Jeopardy! is a game show, so once taping gets rolling, they pretty much keep rolling. This is as opposed to a sitcom taping, where there are starts and stops for re-takes.

The tickets are first come first served, so they get snatched up quick because people wait for them to become available. Check as early as you can on the first of each month to increase your chances of getting tickets.

Usually the person who booked the tickets has to be present for the tickets to be valid. If you can't make it, try calling the ticket service number and trying to transfer them.

No, you cannot talk about it until it has been shown publicly. Otherwise, you being sued and this can result in a hefty fine.

If you want to be in the studio audience during a live taping of jeopardy, you can! You just need to grab some tickets from the Jeopardy website. Visit the site on the first of every month and look for your desired date on the calendar page. Click on a purple date, which means it's available. Then, fill out your personal information on the website and wait for your email confirmation. When you get it, your tickets are reserved and you can attend a live taping!

While some shows may pay their audience members may be compensated, Jeopardy does not. However, you can claim tickets for free. But, you do need to arrange your own travel and accommodations. Check out the Jeopardy website on the first of the month, when they release new tickets and choose a date that works for you.

If you have tickets to attend a live audience show, plan for a 4-hour visit because some shows tape multiple episodes at the same time. There may also be a lot of breaks and it could take a fair amount of time. Arrive to the studio at least 45 minutes before the taping time so you don't miss anything. The producers may recommend a particular time for you to arrive. Follow their instructions if they tell you a particular time. Make sure you bring your ID to show security as well. Turn off your cell phone so it's completely silent while you're there. Follow any special instructions that the producers give you while you're there as well.

Try to get them at midnight on the first of the month. Then, refresh your page and book the tickets for whatever time works for you.
