Ellen DeGeneres Reveals the Weird Rules That Can Get You Kicked Off the Show

Going the Distance…

Prospective guests need to first visit the online ticket calendar to get on Ellen. The show tapes Monday-Thursday, usually offering tickets for two month’s worth of a timeframe for selection. Once these tickets get scooped up, the website will update to reflect that a specific calendar day is sold out and there will be no more accepted applications for that particular day. 

Going for Speed…

The ideal scenario for a ticket applicant is to apply as soon as they come onto the website. After all, these kinds of things function on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, if you have applied more than once, you might have a higher chance of being selected to attend over the first-time applicants.
