Hi a quick question that will really help me out.

I have just received 4 general tickets for the x factor final in Manchester next Saturday. Obviously I am aware that I am not guaranteed to get in. I was just wondering if anybody knew how many people in total will be let in and how many of them will have the TalkTalk guaranteed tickets?

Also to have a realistic chance of getting in, what time would you recommend me getting there to queue. I don’t mind queuing at all and would get there at any time if it meant getting in. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

To be honest you are gonna have to be there SO early for the final, You will be very lucky to get in, But I really really hope you do get in as it would be an amazing experience for you.

As its the final I have no idea how long you will have to queue for, It might be best to get their very early in the morning I hope you get in and wave the flag for your supported act (I especially want you to get in if your a fan of UJ)

That post above is not true. Had it been a usual final that would be the case.

This year the final is not held at Fountain Studios but at a huge venue in Manchester. Get there a couple of hours before!

I've got general tickets as well and it says something about doors opening at 5 and closing at 5:30 but also we have to go to some underground car park to register. When do we go to the car park? What time? And will we then go to the venue altogether? This is my first time getting tickets through applause store so don't know what to do. Any help much appreciated!!!

I'm sure that'll just be a typo, but it's the semi-final this weekend. Go there with tickets for the Final and you won't get in.

Maybe it depends what part of the country you live in but to me next Saturday is the one after this Saturday . This Saturday is the one coming up

Ah right ok thanks. I'm thinking of getting there around 3:30am so hopefully that will be early enough to get in. I don't live too far from Manchester (like 20 mins) so it's like a once in a lifetime opportunity. I really want to get in. Hope there is some good celeb guests! Any one know who's set to perform?

All tickets have now been allocated except the ones from applause store.

The amount of tickets issued to TalkTalk customers is a vast majority, so if you have general Applause Store tickets I'd get there early!
