What Is the Golden Ticket on America's Got Talent
The golden ticket on America's Got Talent is a pass awarded to a performer who receives a unanimous "Yes" vote from the judges during the audition round. It signals that the act has advanced to the next stage of the competition.
How Contestants Earn the Golden Ticket
Contestants audition in front of the judges, usually in large open-call sessions or special audition cities. If every judge presses their "Yes" button, the performer is awarded the golden ticket and moves on to the live shows.
What Happens After the Golden Ticket
After receiving the golden ticket, performers travel to the live shows, where they compete before a studio audience and television viewers. From there, acts continue through multiple rounds until a winner is chosen. For more details on the show format, visit America's Got Talent on NBC.
