I haven't seen this posted anywhere but applications for the main shows have opened and will close on the 6th September - get applying folks!

The first shows are the 27th and 28th September with the final being the 21st December. The show will come from Blackpool on the 16th November.

Same Terms and Conditions to previous years.

Forgot to say that because all dates are accounted for then there is no Wembley this year

Thanks for the info

So 13 weeks instead of 12 this time.

Have done mine. Fingers crossed!!

thank you

pointless applied for what seems like the millionth year

fingers crossed (I have no hope of getting any tho)

good luck everyone

I agree Olive. Seems to be a pointless exercise but just in case miracles do occur..............

Has anyone heard if the tickets for the launch show have been sent out yet??? (still living in hope....)

I've applied! Fingers crossed I get Blackpool tickets.

The Elstree studio is 4,500sq ft bigger than the old Television centre one so I would think there will definitely be more seating.

yep, I know its bigger - more room for pointless z list celebs

Thanks for the heads up...it seems that I register every year, but I'm always reliant on someone from DS to tell me that the applications are due!

Fingers crossed

I've applied for a few, just on the off chance. There's a far better chance of getting tickets if you actually apply for them, I suppose.

(I corrected it for you in anticipation of Vanessa & the Hairy Biker)

Thank you - have applied but am not holding out much hope. Blackpool would be perfect though, it's only up the road.

I've applied for 4 shows.

I think last year there were one and a half million applications for tickets

but then,we are the keen fans

good luck to everyone who's applied

I thought the same, had applied for years with no luck, then last year - bingo got tickets for the first show.

So don't give up hope, someone has to get them.

Have applied again as it was absolutely brilliant and would love to do it again.
