Since Hoda & Jenna & Friends premiered in the fourth hour of the Today show earlier this month, it's looked like the most exciting party on TV. Unlike their previous slot, which they co-hosted for just under a year, this new hour includes a live studio audience. Now, fans are finally being let in on the fun.

Wondering how to get tickets to Hoda & Jenna & Friends? Getting free tickets to the show is actually pretty easy. All you need to do is go to the show's site and click on the date you want. (FYI, the show tapes in front of a live audience on Thursdays, so plan accordingly). Your chances might increase if you spend a little time explaining why you love watching Hoda Kotb, Jenna Bush Hager, and/or a special guest while you're entering for a chance to snag a ticket.

And if a show you're interested in going to sells out, not to worry: Stand-by cards are available. Head to the Greeter Stand at 30 Rockefeller Plaza after 9 a.m. the Monday of a show week to try your chances. Admission is not guaranteed, but you may gain entrance if more tickets become available. Don't forget to bring a photo ID! Make sure to check the site often, especially if you plan to visit New York in the next few months; you never know when more tickets will be released.

Hoda & Jenna & Friends officially premiered on February 6, just under a year after longtime host Kathie Lee Gifford left the show and was replaced by Jenna. Both hosts stepped out at different points last year for separate maternity leaves—first Hoda, then Jenna. Now that the new mothers are back in action, there's plenty of time to focus on their show (and on those ever-present glasses of wine).

Although the show about a month old, it's pulling quite a few impressive guests. Hoda and Jenna have already played host the likes of Chrissy Teigen, Tyra Banks, and Oprah Winfrey, meaning plenty more star power is on the way. And, don't miss the Queen of Country herself, Dolly Parton, on April 2!

While many fans miss the magic of Kathie Lee and Hoda, the chemistry between the current hosts is breathing new life into the show. According to Nielsen, the fourth hour of Today has surged 11% in total viewership since the pair reunited from maternity leave in November. That's a pretty impressive feat by the duo.

Whether you live in New York or are only visiting for a few days, it's worth a shot to grab tickets to Hoda & Jenna & Friends. If their early success is any indication, it might be the most fun you can have in town. There's maybe never been a better time to make the pilgrimage to 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
