Anyone lucky enough to have tickets for the semi finals this weekend

Wrenny-24 · 06/12/10 - 22:37

Fraid not!

For some reason I've never put in for tickets, I really don't know why, but I will definitely be doing so next year!

Have you been lucky enough to go to a show?

Only inside my crystal ball.

Force Ten · 08/12/10 - 17:36

No. Both the Friday night and the Saturday night will be live and have separate audiences. However, the Sunday Results show will be recorded after the normal Saturday show so those with tickets for Saturday get a better deal than those going on Friday night.;)

Not being funny or 'owt, but don't you have a source at the Beeb anyway?

BuddyBontheNet · 08/12/10 - 17:44

That's a relief! alisonrose will probably come up trumps, but a back plan is essential!:D

Yeah but I am working away this weekend - and the source is not a beeb source

So how do they know the voting figures then...?

you don't have to be a beeb employee to know the voting figures

Indeed - but there must be a chain of command in some way. The original source would have to be at the Beeb. That's logic.

I would have thought the phone company would know ?

Good point.. But still. Some things aren't adding up much.

Would the Beeb hire a private phone vote company without covering their arses?

Salsameg gave info different to FG that made infinitely more sense. Healthy scepticism.

Hi guys

New to the forums but after a little read through I think I'll be staying!

I've managed to bag tickets for the semi finals, disappointingly for Friday not Saturday but I will enjoy it as it's my first time!

I've been reading everyone's advice on getting to the studios for 12ish with doors opening at 3.30. On Friday, the doors aren't opening until half 5... What would you do if you were me, I'm only travelling about 30 miles so I'm pretty flexible, just don't want to get there too early/late - and if I'm honest I don't want to end up behind the judges really, I'd like to be able to see the dances!!!

I have seen postings saying ground floor seats are at a premium and upstairs for the plebs, but that in practice upstairs gave the better view and that upstairs seats are allocated last. Presumably you could elect to sit upstairs when your turn in the entrance queue arrives.

Will they only open the voting lines on Saturday as usual or do we have extra on Friday?

No phone voting on Friday night.

SEMI-FINAL WEEKEND

This year, Strictly Come Dancing's Semi-Finals will take place over a scintillating THREE nights. The thrills kick off this Friday night at 9pm on BBC One with our first LIVE semi-final show. Firstly, all of our five remaining couples will perform a dance as per normal, and will be marked in the usual way by the judges.

Then, all five couples will take to the floor at the same time to perform in a group "Swing-a-Thon".

During the Swing-A-Thon dance, the judges will confer and Head Judge Len Goodman will eliminate one couple at a time. If the judges cannot agree the order the couples are eliminated then Head Judge Len will have the final say. When a couple is eliminated they will leave the floor but the remaining couples will keep dancing until only one couple is left.

The first to be eliminated will score 1, the second couple eliminated will score 2, the third couple 3, and the fourth couple eliminated score 4. The last couple still dancing will receive the maximum score of 5. These scores will be added to that night's leader board and carried over to the next night.

We all return to the dancefloor for a second LIVE night of dancing on Saturday 11th Dec, from 6pm to 7pm. Each couple will then perform a THIRD dance and be marked by the judges. All three judges' scores will be added together to produce a final leaderboard - after which, phone lines will open and YOU will be able to vote for your favourite couples.

The results of that public vote will be revealed in our Results Show on Sunday night at 7pm (NOTE the slightly EARLIER time than usual!) - a very special show that will also feature a performance by Take That! Sadly, at the end of the Results Show, we'll say farewell to TWO COUPLES, leaving THREE couples to compete in the Grand Final.

THE GRAND FINAL

After months of hard work and training, our three surviving couples will come together to perform for the prestigious Glitterball Trophy in the Grand Final of Strictly Come Dancing 2010 on Saturday 18th December. There will be two LIVE shows on Saturday 18th - first from 7pm to 8pm, and then later in the evening from 9.05pm to 10.05pm, when the eventual champions will be revealed.

Hey there!
