Just that really.

I have applied for tickets for a show and I realise it's a random draw, but just wondered how soon BBC contact you if it's successful.

Was at Have I got news for you years ago. A guy I knew constantly applied for tickets and one time he couldn’t use them. Lucky me!

Yes it was a kids tv show presenter was then thought highly of because he fixed things. Enjoyed it at the time but now wonder about the girls that were on the show

Attended the Dog Ate My Homework filming with the kids but I don't think that's the vibe you're looking for...

Honestly it’s usually quite last minute. Also, they always overbook to ensure a full audience even with no shows, so go early or you may not get in even with tickets.

Yes, Michael Mcintyre and a game show. I applied through applause store and you find out quite quickly. Just keep applying, you'll get in!

My daughter and I were in the audience for gladiators. We found out 3 days before we had tickets.

We have applied to strictly but get emailed the Tuesday before we have been unsuccessful.

I've been at a few different TV and radio recordings. Ticket confirmation is usually only 2-3 weeks before the recording.

Yes - it was Question Time though, we were contacted within a day or so.
