You can only get tickets a month before you will actually be there. If you call the phone line, they will tell you what dates are open to obtain tickets. So unfortunately you will have to wait until November to call in.

Once you get your confirmation tickets in your e-mail, print out the paper and bring it with you. You will go to cafe above the NBC Experience Store at Rockefeller Center. Make sure to get there early, having your printed ticket is no guarantee of admission you have to actually get the wristband in order to be officially in the audience for the show. If you are late they will give the wristbands to the standby people in line.

After that you will meet at the security line and they will take you up the elevator in 30 Rock to the studio. Also keep in mind, you won’t even know who the guests are until the week you are going and even then they will change last minute. Also, remember that December is typically a break time for a lot of TV shows so any shows may not be taping at this time, but it doesn’t mean you can’t go for it.

Have a blast! I saw Jimmy Fallon in April 2010 and I loved every minute of it!
