Does anyone know "DenverDave"?  Tensor's list shows him as having a Stand-by ticket.  Judging by his handle, I'm assuming he was maybe flying in from Colorado for the premiere... ? :(

 

I was also wondering how many of the big gang for the 8x2 taping on the 12th are standby tickets.  If all the guaranteed tickets are offered tickets for the 2nd taping (would they do that?), that could affect the number of standby tickets that could get in.

 

Of course, not everyone who was planning to go to the taping on the 5th would necessarily go on the 12th, but it presumably have an effect.

 

What a nightmare.

 

:(

I sent an email to Audiences Unlimited (had my ticket for 8/05) and already received a response. Here is what they said;

 

"As of this morning, we have not received notification that the show has officially canceled for August 5; however, we've been told that we should have an answer sometime today.  If the show date cancels, we will notify ticket holders by email and post the update on our website's "Schedule Updates" page."

 

 

I assume that means those of us with tickets for 8/05 will have to try again once tickets are released for a future show.

Really strange news, considering that, according to Audiences Unlimited's website, no scheduled changes for the taping.

 

You probably need to talk to someone in person.  The cancelation of the taping just broke this morning--maybe they haven't yet updated their site?

Did Deadline say that they got the news from WB or CBS or someone else official?

 

I'm not saying that it's not true, just that AU would need to base their actions and info on official information, not "sources close to the production" or whatever a lot of "news" outlets use.

They have to wait until they hear from someone official, I guess.

 

Michey, what did the person you spoke to tell you?

 

ETA: For those going on the 12th, do you all have guaranteed tickets or are some of you going standby?

 

The tickets are for the specific DATE, right? Not for the specific episode?

Yea all of us have guaranteed tickets and they're for a specific day not episode

 

Well, that's good.  Hopefully everything will be settled and they'll be back at work on the 6th.

 

Has anyone contacted or heard from DenverDave?  He had a standby ticket, I believe.  He's only posted 4 times, so I don't know if he's even aware of what's going on.

It frustrating you can't get an answer. I almost just want to call them and ask. Is there another place you can call? How about CBS

 

CBS wouldn't be able to tell individuals anything about AU's policy for the tickets, whether to cancel or reschedule them or what.

Why wouldn't you just say "What do I do if I had a ticket for the 8/5 Big Bang taping?"?

Why try to be coy?

 

They are going to either offer a replacement ticket for a different date, or simply cancel the tickets for everyone for that date.

 

There''s no refund for them to give you because the tickets are free.

Okay. I never use Audience unlimited so i didn't realize they were free.

According to a source, if a taping is cancelled a ticket holder is just out of luck. You do not get another ticket for a different date. Just to settle that.

If you got a ticket to a taping but the taping is cancelled, you're simply out of luck.

Well, that's a bummer to hear. A lot of other audience filling services will offer guaranteed tickets to a future taping of your choice as an apology for turning away fans. Because otherwise, people don't want to participate in the future if they get treated like that.

actually for NYC tapings of talk shows....if a show is cancelled, you are out of luck.  It stinks, but thats how it works with the "free tickets".  I once had that happen to me with Rachel Ray tickets a few years back.

 

I feel so terrible for those with the 8/5 tickets. 

 

I will also add the NYC talk tapings (not Tonight Show, Letterman, SNL or Daily Show) usually have good odds of stand-byes getting in the next day.  I know that I've gotten in on standbye for Live, Wendy Williams (although I usually have VIP for that one), Bethenny, etc. 

 

So if somebody was travelling, they could still see it maybe the next day because they tape Mon-Thurs.......not the same with BBT.
