Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to THE BACHELOR! Last minute questions? We are here to assist you and want you to have a fun experience!
1. What time should I arrive?
Please do not arrive earlier than the time specified in your confirmation email. Our audience team will not open the door to check in or allow anyone to utilize the holding area until that time.
2. What should I wear?
Our dress code is Upscale Casual. Think Trendy… Think Classy… Think SOLID BRIGHT COLORS! **NO LOGOS/WRITING** on any clothing will be permitted. Dressy jeans are permitted but NO RIPPED JEANS. We ask the audience to refrain from wearing white or all black tops. NO LOW CUT/REVEALING SHIRTS, tank tops or tank dresses/spaghetti straps, T-shirts, baseball hats, beanies, shorts, sweat pants, cut-offs, flip-flops, sunglasses, logos, images or baggy clothing.
Please keep in mind floral prints, plaid and other crazy patterns don’t look good on camera, and we know you want to look your best!
Please keep in mind that there will be some walking required from the holding area to the show location, so please wear comfy shoes!
Still want to wear your heels at the show? No problem - just pop them in a carrying bag. It is a bit chilly in the studio, so you may want to bring a light sweater.
We reserve the right to deny admission, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
3. How is the Audience seated?
While the audience department will make every effort to accommodate seating requests, please note that seating is limited and is based on availability at the time you and your party are to be seated.
4. How will I know if I am on the official list of attendees for an event?
When there is an event in your area that you meet the criteria for, you will receive a notification email. If you would like to attend, you will RSVP for the event. That RSVP does not guarantee you admission. Admission will be confirmed based on available space. When you are officially confirmed, you will receive an email letting you know that you and your group are officially on the list and cleared to attend. That email will have all of the arrival info you’ll need, but there is no physical ticket to present.
5. Is there anything that I am NOT allowed to bring to the show?
Recording devices, digital equipment, cameras, large purses, any bags, backpacks, sharp objects of any kind and/or weapons of any kind, mace and spray bottles are not permitted inside the studio. On occasion, cell phones with cameras are ok, but they must be completely TURNED OFF before entering the studio.

Everyone in your party must be at least 18 years old. Everyone must have proof of age, such as a license, passport or birth certificate.
7. You are participating as an audience member for a taping of a television series.
If we deem you under the influence, a threat, or unfit, you will not be permitted inside the studio. We reserve the right to deny admission at any time, for any reason, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
8. May I bring food and drinks?
After you check in, you will enter into Audience Holding. We always have snacks, soft drinks and water provided during holding, but if you would like to bring additional snacks, that is fine. When you enter into the event, you will not be allowed to bring in food and beverage with the exception of water bottles provided by production.

If you attend an event, you will be expected to stay the entire time. We will provide a rough estimate of an end time before you officially confirm your attendance.

13. Will I be able to sit with my entire party?
We try our best, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee your entire party will sit together.
