Family Feud: How to Get Tickets
Family Feud is one of the most iconic and entertaining game shows on television. Watching families guess survey responses and react to Steve Harvey’s hilarious commentary is great at home — but even better in person. If you're eager to join the studio audience and experience the laughs and energy live, here’s everything you need to know about getting tickets to a taping of Family Feud.
Where Is the Show Taped?
Family Feud has filmed in various locations over the years, including Orlando, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. As of recent seasons, most tapings take place at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville, Georgia, just south of Atlanta. This location is now the primary hub for Steve Harvey’s version of the show.
When Are Tapings Held?
Family Feud tapes multiple shows per day, often several days a week during scheduled production windows. Taping seasons usually take place in the spring and fall, with exact dates announced a few months in advance.
Episodes are filmed back-to-back, and a typical audience session can last 2–4 hours depending on how many episodes are included.
How to Request Tickets
Tickets to be in the studio audience are free and distributed via the show’s official ticketing partner:
Visit the OCA website and search for Family Feud to find available taping dates and session times. Select your desired show, create a free account, and submit your ticket request.
Tickets are typically general admission, and multiple requests are allowed for group bookings (subject to availability).
Audience Requirements and Guidelines
- Age: All audience members must be at least 16 years old. Those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
- ID: A government-issued photo ID is required for check-in.
- Dress Code: Business casual or casual chic. Bright, solid-colored clothing is preferred. Avoid white, black, or logos as they do not read well on camera.
- Conduct: Audience members must remain enthusiastic, responsive, and respectful. Phones and cameras are not permitted during filming.
Arrival Tips
Arrive at the studio at least 60–90 minutes before your scheduled taping. Even with a ticket, admission is not guaranteed — entry is on a first-come, first-served basis and studios often overbook to ensure a full audience.
There may be security screenings, and parking is available onsite or nearby. Be prepared for waiting periods and follow instructions from the audience coordinators.
Health and Safety Protocols
Depending on current guidelines and local ordinances, you may be required to:
- Provide proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test
- Wear a face covering while indoors
- Pass a temperature check or health screening
Specific instructions will be included in your confirmation email from the ticketing site.
Bonus: Special Taping Events
Occasionally, Family Feud tapes themed weeks (celebrity families, military families, special tournaments) or holiday specials. Audience tickets for these high-energy episodes are especially popular, so book early and watch for announcements on social media or OCA.
Summary
Attending a live taping of Family Feud is a fun and unique way to experience one of America’s favorite shows. With free tickets, a great atmosphere, and the chance to laugh along with Steve Harvey in person, it’s a bucket-list experience for fans of game shows and good times alike. Just book early, arrive on time, and be ready to clap, cheer, and maybe even shout, “Good answer!”
