Acquiring tickets to a live taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show can be a bit tricky, and may require a bit of patience. The demand for tickets far exceeds the supply, making the process difficult.
Phone Reservations
The Oprah Winfrey Show takes reservations for tickets through phone one day a month, for reservations for the following month. For example, for tickets to shows in May, reservations will be taken on April 17th, from 10am to 4pm, central time. The phone number for the reservation line is (312)591-9222. To find out the day that ticket reservations are being taken each month, you must call the reservation line or check out the website at
http://www2.oprah.com/tows/program/tows_prog_getticks.jhtml. Even on the day they take reservations, you may have to call several times to get through the busy signal.
E-mail Reservations
It’s risky but if you are traveling last minute, or have had no luck getting through the phone reservation line, you may be able to make a last minute e-mail reservation. On
http://www2.oprah.com/tows/program/tows_prog_getticks_f.jhtml, there will be a link to e-mail reservations for a specific date they have tickets available for. If there are no links to dates on the website, that means there are no available ticket dates.
