With good news continuing across Hollywood, it’s likely that Saturday Night Live will return to television screens soon. But… how can you get tickets to the show?

It's one of the hottest tickets in New York City.

NBC’s Saturday Night Live to Return This October

As Hollywood’s writers have resolved their strike with studios across the country, production on our favorite shows is likely to resume soon.

Of course, with Hollywood’s actors still on strike, some shows may not return as quickly as others. Luckily, however, Saturday Night Live is not one of those shows.

In fact, reports say that NBC is likely to begin production on Saturday Night Live in a matter of days. They say the show is expected to resume on television as early as October 14, though it could be October 21.

So, how can you get tickets to the show?
