Oakland Filming

The eleventh episode "Tunnel Vision" (to air March 8) was shot in Oakland on November 2009.

"A showdown at Bayside Mutual Bank blocked traffic Tuesday, while police worked to diffuse a bank robbery gone bad. Police cars piled up and FBI agents swarmed the intersection of 21st and Broadway in downtown Oakland. SWAT teams swiftly moved into position. A rooftop sniper carefully took aim. And then: Reuben “Rabbit” Palchuck arrived on the scene. A dashing, death-defying paramedic with nine lives and nothing to lose, Rabbit is a renegade, his coolness confirmed by the dark aviator sunglasses that covered his eyes."

Are there any ways to get tickets to a shooting (like with other shows)? And are there any more in Oakland?
