How much to see the final recording of Friends? [closed]

With The Big Bang Theory having ended recently, I wondered about other enduring TV shows that have featured a live audience. It occurred to me that the final recording of Friends, the filming of The Final One, must've been in incredibly high demand for the fans who'd seen the show run from the nineties through to the noughties.

How much was the ticket price to go and see that final episode (I presume people paid to see the recordings rather than all audience members winning them or something)?

All TV show tickets are free. Having a ticket in hand does not always guarantee a seat at the show, with some exceptions...

This is usually the case, even with series finales. However, keep in mind that for these episodes - the studio/producers usually retain some privilege for inviting special guests.

This includes the full gamut from game shows, reality/competition shows, daytime talk, late night talk, and scripted shows.

Keep in mind however, that there can quite often be a substantial waiting list for access to a particular show.

Obviously, the producers do not want any camera shots of the audience chairs being empty - so in the case of Saturday Night Live (NBC, US) (which is highly popular) - there is a lottery. This is used in conjunction with a standby system, which covers the case when a ticket lottery winner does not show up to the show. See https://freetoursbyfoot.com/saturday-night-live-tickets/

There are even cases when a studio audience cannot be filled. In this case, a service like Seatfillers may be used, or the producers may leave rows of seats that are located in less desirable parts of the studio empty (you will sometimes see this on CBS's The Price is Right, as seats behind the announcer are sometimes left empty).
