Hubby and I have got audience tickets for Blackpool after showtimeany years of applying. If you've been to Strictly at Blackpool in previous years, can you help with my questions?...

How early do people start queuing? We want to get good seats and know we'll have to stand in the queue for some time. Just want to time it right.

Once you've had seats allocated, can you go away like at Elstree and return later? I'm guessing not as the ticket info states that doors open 1pm, no admission after 3pm and ballroom doors open at 4pm. A separate thread on here states that they start allocating seats earlier than this at Elstree.

If everyone is 'locked in the tower' for a few hours before, what facilities are available?

Thank, s very much

Hi if you ask in the thread - Anyone got tickets for Blackpool - you may get an answer as some of them are local so might have an answer to your questions.

Also they are looking for someone to let us know the results for the - official spoiler - thread would you be able to help out?

Have fun in Saturday, a lot if folk ( myself included ) are going to be very jealous

And can you report back on the experience, kingsofllay, please? Any daft tidbits about off-camera stuff will be gobbled up gladly.

(Hi Lurchergirl... That other thread... Your mum!!! )

I posted a reference to this in Abigail's mum's thread.

Hi kingsofllay,

Wow, well done you in getting tickets!

Now, here's a question....you may know we have a 'spoiler' thread on Saturday evenings as we are all too darned eager to know the results before the Sunday night show!! Would you be happy to provide the 'spoiler' for us? If so, I would be more than happy to send you my mobile number so you can text me the result - it would be much appreciated by the hundreds of forum members who can't wait until the Sunday!

Many thanks xxx

Thanks for your messages. I'm happy to share some details of our experience on the day but I've decided not to provide a spoiler. Sorry if that sounds miserable but I'm old school when it comes to things like this.

No problem at all, I completely understand & respect your feelings on this. I hope you have a wonderful time on Saturday, & look forward to reading about your experience. The tower ballroom is an amazing & beautiful place xx
