Daily Collegian Staff Writer
NEW YORK Eddie Murphy did the
Yarm-up for the studio audience. "Last
year the show was so bad we couldn't
'even give tickets away. . ... 'Get away
from me with those tickets, sucker!' "
:':;The "Saturday Night Live" season
premier, two weeks ago, had the lobby
packed with standbys and none of them
got in because the place was over-run
with celebrities, Mark Battista, NBC
page, said. "Valerie Perrine sauntered
in with her entourage; it was a zoo."
The lobby scene was a calmer one this
week. All the standbys got in for the
dress rehearsal and Battista even had
some difficulty filling the 312 seats of
studio BH.
"We were pulling bag ladies in off the
street," he chided.
So how does anyone get to see the
show? There are over four million stories
in the Naked City, and every one of them
is about a different way to get tickets.
There is always a first in line. Always.
Andrew Sole took the train down from
tong Island and arrived at 30 Rockefel
ler Plaza at 8:30 p.m., three hours before
air time. It was his seventh show two
air, five dress rehearsals not counting
the two times he had been thrown out for
;crashing the show.
"I'm a fanatic," the 17-year-old Sole
said. His ticket tactics are simple; he
writes away for them. His crash style is
'equally simple. "My dad works on the
'eighth floor, he's a camera blocker and
." They don't always fall for it, he
said.
Leroy and John came to be personally abused about their home state New
•s- Jersey.
Then there's the Know Somebody, Any
body, School of Tickets.
Andy drove all the way from Indiana.
He was with Cathy from California and
Todd from Texas. Sharon walked "all the
way from 57th street" (seven blocks).
They all went to high school together in
California. Sharon's uncle got her some
tickets. Sharon McMahon's uncle works
for NBC.
"Please, my credibility is going to
hell."
"Why would anyone lie about being Ed
McMahon's niece?"
When Nancy's cousin from Michigan
came in Friday she called her friend who
used to work at NBC. He called his friend
who still works at NBC and . . . tickets.
"It was a long shot, but it worked,"
NanCy said.
Chris Wilson's friend writes for SNL.
His friend said the tickets were "very
much in demand" but would get him a
pair. Wilson came up from Mississippi
with his wife on the Red Eye, left at three
in the morning. That's why she was
asleep back in the hotel, which leads us to
the Know a Friend With an Extra Ticket
school. Becky was an old friend from
Miss and, well, her husband was also
tired that night. "So I ditched my wife
and picked up what's-her-name here,"
Chris said.
Nancy Caronia from Long Island goes
to a similar school of ticketry. She has
this friend, see, and he mails ticket
requests in his friends' names, see, and
so far five of his 10 letters have hit. All his
friends have gone but he hasn't because
It was the first time the bear had seen
the show, but the second for Nancy.
Amateurs compared to Peter from King
of Prussia. He gets his tickets from his
cousin's dad, who is a talent agent. Five
shows, so far.
All of these folks have come to NBC,
whether from across the country or
across the city, with for-sure tickets.
Then, across the lobby is "The Zoo"
Battista referred to.
"They give about two-thirds of the
tickets to the producers and they give
them to friends who never show up,"
Battista said. The standbys wait in line,
hoping that someone won't show, looking
to be number 312. You must come in
Saturday morning to get standby tickets
and return that night and wait. Chances
are some will get in.
Leroy and John came from New Jersey
to see SNL because of the New Jersey
jokes on the show. "We are here to be
personally abused," Leroy said.
I pointed out that being made to wait in
line and then being turned away was
pretty abusive. "We are alieady being
indirectly personally abused," he
agreed.
Beryl Wolfe of Arlington, Texas, was a
middle-class, middle-aged type with the
most wonderful Texas drawl, not your
typical SNL fan. "I love it, but some
times it's a little sick." She explained
that she learned about standby from the
Mobil Travel Guide.
Lowest on the lobby list are the Wishful
Thinkers. Pages spend most of their time
dealing with these folks who aimlessly
wander into the building and ask to see
the show. It's Saturday night and we
were in the neighborhood anyway.
Why had Ed Kalanka, a classic WT,
Come from Clifton, New Jersey, with no
tickets?
"On a lark," he replied.
"What will you do if you don't get in?"
"A lot of drugs."
• Battista said some WTs threatened to
slash wrists, etc. if they could not get in.
It seldom helps, all of them are given the
same speech brone of the pages, always
delivered in a sympathetic tone. "I'm
sorry, all of the tickets are reserved."
Which leaves us with one of the easiest
ways to get into the show work there.
Robert Kaplan is a page. "I interviewed
for the job and I got it," he said. Small
wonder Battista describes his three
weeks as a page as "never ending speed
and excitement."
Andrew Sole (above) holds his posi
tion as first in line, while page Mark
Battista (right) displays the classic
"I'm sorry, all the seats are re
served" posture. Nancy Caronia (be
low) takes surrogate friend Little
Missy to its first "Saturday Night."
