Just read your post through AST.
I had no idea that all that was involved in being part of the audience.
I thought you just turned up late afternoon as if going to a show!!!!!!!!
Did you get that info with the tickets or are you just more savvy than me.
Great and interesting read, full of details.
you get basic instructions on your ticket; i.e. gate entrance in Maxwell Street and dress code : Glamorous.... but I got more info on this site. Very little elsewhere.

[quote=dippydancing;84881003]Fascinating and engrossing levels of detail there AST- thank you.

I'd love to know -but unfortunately it didn't happen at the semi final- if when Len hears booing at his criticisms that we can't hear at home, are the boos audible in the studio- or is he really just exaggerating for dramatic effect(/hallucinating)?

there was a moment... can't remember which dance but we did groan quite loudly and Len decided to stop speaking.


Were the interviews that Danny & Claudia had straight after their "lights turned red" edited much? And what's the atmosphere like in the audience during the wait?

To be honest, by the time the elimination process was under way I had started to flag....(it would have been about 10pm by then) but it was very obvious, we the audience as well as the contestants were very nervous. You couldn't even see on the autocue who the eliminated couple was as there were simply crosses where the names should be. Tess had the names on her own cue cards.

Until this moment, I hadn't considered how nervous the studio audience might get- thanks for the reply: this is turning into quite the Q&A sesh for you

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed description of your evening at strictly.

It must have been amazing to see such wonderful talent live. Thanks too for letting us know the atmosphere when the results came out. Interesting that Tess reads from the autocue while Claudia ad libs, no surprise there.
Yep, it wouldn't surprise me if *insert fake laugh here* was included on the autocue for Tess

Don't assume that will help you, I've been trying multiple email addresses and postcodes (e.g. mine and other family) for about 7 years and not been successful once.
I will at least increase my odds. Hope you get some tickets next year. This is my first year, so I can wait,
