We are excited to announce that the first Season 12 ticket lottery will open on Tuesday, January 28th at 3PM (EST) for the opening show which will film on Saturday, February 15th. Regular Tuesday lotteries at 3PM will begin the week of 1/28. The upcoming show schedule is below. We will not be filming the weeks of March 22nd, April 19th and May 24th (please note all dates are subject to change).

To our fans:

The only official sources of information for Last Week Tonight tickets are the official site of Last Week Tonight, this site or our official Facebook or official LWT social media. Please don't give your money to any other website claiming to be able to get you tickets to Last Week Tonight. The tickets are ALWAYS free! All times are in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

It has come to our attention that many of our replies end up now in your spam or promotion folders. Please make sure to whitelist the site to see our confirmations in a timely way. If you don't reply to us in a timely manner you might lose your tickets.

Due to the circumstances, we ask that ONLY fans who have never attended the show before apply for tickets via the lottery. We have such a high demand for tickets that we need to clear a backlog of thousands of fans who have not had the chance to see the show live.

Please note, if you enter multiple times in the same lottery you will be eliminated from that lottery. You must apply only once in every lottery you apply to.

Thanks
