‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ – Tickets
1. Watch the Official Ticket Page
Tickets for the Late Show with Stephen Colbert are in high demand and will generally sell out within days of, if not the day of their release. Tickets are available from the 1iota website, and are released one calendar month at a time. Their release is announced on the Late Show’s official Twitter and Facebook pages, approximately three to four weeks in advance. If you plan on visiting New York on a certain day, continue checking these sites, as extra tickets have, on occasion, been announced the day of the taping.
2. VIP Tickets
VIP tickets are occasionally posted for auction on eBay and other charitable websites, with the proceeds raised going to charity. Ticket packages can include 2-4 tickets, backstage passes, and on occasion a (brief) “Meet and Greet” with Stephen Colbert. If you purchase these tickets, you will get priority entrance and access to the best seats.
3. CC Ticket Notifier
CC Ticket Notifier utilises an app called PushBullet, which is capable of sending instant notifications to any iOS or Android device, Windows desktop or via the PushBullet extension for Google Chrome and Firefox.
When a user signs up to this free service, they receive an instant notification to any of these devices, as soon as tickets become available. When the notification is received, users only need to click on the notification to be redirected immediately to the ticket page.
If you do not wish to go through the hassle of fiddling with another app, the service can also send email notifications, however email notifications are a little bit slower than the instant PushBullet notifications.
4. CC Ticket Notifier (Premium)
CC Ticket Notifier’s premium ticket notification service allows users to be notified only for the specific dates on which they wish to attend a taping of the Late Show, and thus prevents users from receiving large amounts of notifications for all available dates.
[Please Note: The premium service requires a payment of $4.00 via PayPal.]
