Dancing with the Stars: Free Studio Audience Tickets

Ballroom dancing on a network stage looks glamorous on television, and the studio audience gets the full-size version. On Camera Audiences is offering free fan tickets to see Dancing with the Stars taped at Television City, which makes it one of the more glamorous things happening in Los Angeles this month for the price of a few minutes of paperwork.

Taping dates

The listing shows three upcoming tapings, all in the afternoon:

• Tuesday, October 20 at 3:00 PM
• Tuesday, October 27 at 3:00 PM
• Monday, November 2 at 3:00 PM

Each date is a separate taping of the same show, so pick the one that fits your calendar and request it directly.

When: Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 3:00 PM (first taping) Where: Television City, 7800 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036 Price: Free Age: 12 and up

What to expect

You will be seated in the studio while the production tapes, which means real dancing, real music and the stop-and-start rhythm of television being made. Expect to spend a good stretch of the afternoon in your seat, with audience staff guiding when to cheer. The listing says the entrance is at the Genesee gate on the Television City lot, in the Fairfax area.

The page does not list contestants or a specific episode theme, so we are not going to guess at who will be on the floor.

How to request tickets

Tickets are free and requested through On Camera Audiences, which describes itself as the official source for free fan tickets to this show. The listing also points fans to its ticketing partner EventHaus Tickets for updates and give-aways. Use the show page linked here and skip any reseller or social post promising spots.

Free-ticket services routinely confirm more people than the room holds. A confirmed request gets you priority in line, not a guaranteed seat, so plan to arrive early and do not make non-refundable plans around getting in.

Getting there

Television City sits on Beverly Boulevard near the Farmers Market and The Grove, so the Fairfax district gives you plenty of places to eat before or after. Parking and rideshare instructions come with your confirmation, and they matter, so read them closely. Bring a valid ID and dress for a studio that runs cold under the lights.

If you are building a list of upcoming events Los Angeles has to offer that cost nothing, a TV taping is a good one to keep in the rotation, and you can browse more in our live audience category.
