The Uncertainty is Real
Every once in awhile, Ellen will have to cancel a shoot day due to unforeseen circumstances. Often, these cancellations are last-minute, and they have historically occurred right before the show was intended to start (and in one particular case, Ellen just didn’t show up while the audience sat in their respective seats). This is a liability issue for the studio, but they seemed to have covered themselves pretty effectively via the contract that all audience members are required to sign before going onto the show.
A Risky Investment
Potential audience members take a massive risk when they commit to attending a taping of Ellen. Ellen’s production team clearly dictates that each individual that attends is at risk of not being reimbursed for their loss if they paid for travel, a hotel, or any other special accommodations to attend. Additionally, all times and dates are subject to change, so if a shoot-day is rescheduled, your travel/housing may double, if you choose to stick around.
