chedderchester Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Remember on the "movie" how the lady said to her husband that the tickets were impossible to get? Did you really have to have good connections with the cast or crew? I'm sure by Here's Lucy, anyone could go see a taping like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in Michael Stern's book that people who were on the studio tour would be invited to see the taping. They probably had studio tours back in the 1950s too. That was one way to do it if you didn't know somebody to get them for you, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chedderchester Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 You could always slip gary a fiver. My aunt worked in L.A. from 1988-1990, and in 1989 got to see the taping of the last "Family Ties." She told me she had a lot of connections to get those tickets. Well, it's the series finale, of course a lot of VIPs are going to be there and it would be VERY hard to get tickets if you're an average Joe. I bet an average Joe probably couldn't even get tickets for those kinds of episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, those places really could not fit more than a couple hundred people so yes, it must have been hard to get tickets, even harder for finales with all of the people involved wanting their own families and friends to be there.

mickie Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 When I went to a taping of Life With Lucy, I wrote in for two tickets. I just told them when I would be in town and asked if i could get tickets for that time period. Turns out that I got tickets for the Audrey Meadows show, which was the second to last show filmed.

Didn't she look sensational in that blue outfit for the wedding? And what a thrill to hear her get that big laugh with her line to the effect of you only have the one sister, "THANK GOD"!
