Craving a Front-Row Seat to Austin City Limits? How to Score Those Sweet, Sweet Taping Passes
So, you're itching to witness musical magic live? You crave the intimate atmosphere of Austin City Limits, the legendary TV show that's been bringing iconic artists to your screen for decades. But hold on there, partner, because snagging tickets to an ACL taping ain't exactly like picking up a six-pack of Lone Star beer (although that's also an essential part of the Austin experience).

Forget the Ticketmaster Hustle: Here's the ACL Deal
Unlike most concerts, ACL tapings don't sell tickets. Nope, that whole "throwing money at the screen" thing won't work here. Instead, you gotta enter the legendary ACL raffle. Yes, raffle. This, my friends, is where things get interesting.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
Pro Tip: Avoid the shady side of the internet. Anyone selling you "guaranteed" ACL tickets is about as legit as a ten-dollar bill with Willie Nelson's face on it.
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
How to Win the ACL Raffle: A Guide for the Hopeful Hipster
Here's the lowdown on snagging those coveted passes:
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
Stalk the Website: Keep your eyes peeled on the Austin City Limits website (https://acltv.com/tapings/) for upcoming tapings. About a week before each show, they'll unleash the magical entry form. This is your golden ticket (well, not literally, but you get the idea).
Fill 'Er Up, But Don't Get Greedy: Fill out the form with your info, but don't go all Willy Wonka and submit a million entries. They'll sniff that out faster than you can say "yeehaw," and disqualify you quicker than a two-stepping tumbleweed.
Play the Waiting Game (and Maybe Do a Little Two-Step): Then comes the agonizing (but hopefully music-filled) wait. A few days before the taping, they'll send out emails to the lucky winners. Keep those fingers crossed, y'all!
Space Available Only, Folks: Even with a winning pass, remember, it's standing room only and admission is based on space. Get there early to snag a good spot and avoid that awkward "show up, get turned away" situation.
Frequently Asked Questions (because we know you have them):
How to up my chances of winning? There's no secret sauce, but entering for every taping you're interested in can't hurt!
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
How many people can I bring? The passes are for two people only, so choose your musical soulmate wisely.
What if I'm not in Austin? While they can't accommodate out-of-town requests, winning is still possible! Just be prepared to make the trip if your musical stars align.
Is there another way to experience ACL? Absolutely! Check out the epic Austin City Limits Music Festival or snag tickets to a regular concert at ACL Live, the Moody Theater (ACL's swanky home).
How do I overcome my extreme jealousy of all the winners? Distract yourself by planning your Austin adventure – food trucks, live music everywhere, and maybe even some two-stepping lessons. Trust us, there's plenty of fun to be had in the Live Music Capital of the World!
