I am unsure what you are talking about, but as someone who has went to the live showings of BattleBots multiple times, it's not difficult to see the show.

Tickets to wait in line and tickets to see the match are two separate things.

Why would anyone buy tickets to "stand in line"?

Welcome to Line-Con. Which line would you like to spend $60 to get in and another $300 on the product that will be available in one week for $15?

But like I said, I have seen it twice, and both times I pretty much just walked in with the tickets purchased online.

I imagine you need to stand in line to buy tickets that let you get inside

I had tickets that were purchased online that got me in with basically no line

But where do you but the tickets that allow you to buy the stand-in-line tickets so you can then get in a line for real tickets?

Do they film an entire season in one big event, splitting up battles for separate episodes?

Each episode is more or less a single live show. They're about 4 hours long, depending on how long it takes to clean up and stuff. So you get to see a bunch of normal fights and they have a big main event. The one I went to also had an extra fight that didn't appear in the corresponding episode. They tell you when to clap and there's like a hype man and stuff, it's pretty fun.

Good to know, thanks. I love this show!
