The exact address for the parking structure (and roughly where the line is) is at 4301 W. Olive Ave, Burbank, CA 91505. It is Gate 3 of the Warner Brothers lot, and you will turn at the light right into the parking structure. Tell the parking attendant that you are there for a taping (they might give you grief if you say Big Bang Theory and it's early, so if they ask you what show, try saying Ellen?) and he'll direct you up. You basically just drive up to the roof and park where you can. I like to park right by the elevators so that I can run up to my car.

You can get food in line but you'll have to ask someone to hold your place for you. And you'll want to do it probably before 1 or 2pm, otherwise you might risk losing your place in line when Audiences Unlimited comes. There are a few quick places around that people like to go to, including Subway, Chipotle, and Starbucks, but it is a ten minute walk or so, and it'll take you at least half an hour to go get the food and come back. The best thing to do is bring food if you can, or use GrubHub to order delivery. I was going to do that last time but the place I wanted to order from had a $15 minimum. >_>

Oh! Also, can I bring my phone early when I get there? Can I return it to the car later?

You can have your phone with you, but you will need to return it to your car before going in. The best time to do that is after you've been given a number on your ticket for your place in line as well as gotten your security stamp (if you are standby). If you are guaranteed, I would run up as soon as you get your ticket numbered. Because once you are stamped by security in the guaranteed line, you're about to move inside. That's why I like to park near the elevator. xD

OMG !! I got stand by tickets for me and my friend

how many persons with stand by tickets can actually enter to the taping?

It varies. The first show I ever went to, my roommate and I were 59th and 60th in line, and we got in (as did a few people behind us). Then again, I've heard stories where only eleven people in stand-by got in. It really just depends on how many VIP show up, and how many guaranteed ticked people don't show up. They'll give you a number in the queue and then keep you updated as best they can about how many will get in, but they really don't know until about 90 minutes before the taping when they'll start letting standby in. I'd say a good 20-30 is standard but like I said, it can be way more or way less. Really just depends on the day.

Here are some photos to help:

Where people line up for Big Bang Theory, standby AND guaranteed (by the benches in shade is the front of the line):

Where the line is moved to inside after Ellen is loaded in (this is where standby and guaranteed are separated and you get your number):

Michy, thanks for posting these pictures. Not only are they super helpful, they bring back some awesome memories. I especially appreciate them as I didn't have my phone with me when I attended the taping.

 

No problem! I've been meaning to post some photos for a while, since it's confusing where to go when you first arrive as there are so many different lines for different tapings. The best thing to do is just ask the people in line what they're there for and make sure you're in the right place. :D I may make a video tour soon, LOL.

My list is only as good as the information I get. If someone is going, or has decided not to go, a PM letting me know of any changes would help keep that thread accurate.

Yeh she has a ticket, but she told me she's going to take a week off.
