Free NYC: Get Tickets to The Late Show with David Letterman

Did you know that you can experience one of the best shows in New York City for free? The Late Show with host David Letterman gives out free tickets for those who submit a request (and answer a trivia question). Who would want to see Dave live at the Ed Sullivan Theater, along with celebrity guests who appear on the show? I've had the pleasure of going to two tapings, and it's something I will never forget.

Getting  Tickets Online:

Request Late Show with David Letterman tickets online. Those selected for tickets will receive a phone call and be asked to answer a  trivia question related to the show in order to receive up to two tickets.

Getting Tickets In-Person:

You can request tickets in person for shows in advance at the Ed Sullivan Theatre at 1697 Broadway (between 53rd & 54th Streets). Ticket requests will be accepted Monday-Thursday from 9:30 a.m.-12 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Getting Stand-by Tickets:

Stand-by tickets do not guarantee admission to the show.
