Yes yes of course there are, but once again folks, THEY DON'T CARE about ballots or any "fair" way to allocate tickets, they don't need to care, and they never will need to care. They don't "need" to come up with a fairer system at all.

All they want is "an audience". Having one person such as a temp sit on a simple phone line until the tickets are gone is going to be way cheaper than having developers spend ages sorting the website out to throttle any load and not impact the main website.

It's time to accept that we didn't get tickets, accept that life is unfair, move on, and enjoy the series from the comfort of our homes instead.

You might even find that a lot of the tickets have gone to regular coach party audiences or perhaps some favoured dance clubs, since getting people in ready-made blocks of 60 like that is even easier for them. That is how most studio audiences are found, by bussing in a whole load of people who all work at the same place or are members of some club or other, when I worked at BHS there were always loads of these studio filming trips that staff members could sign up to by way of an employee day/night out.

aww i'm upset that i didn't know about ticket day, i was all excited that i was closer to london this year so i could have gone, i'm gonna have to keep my fingers crossed that they invite an audience on to ITT and that by some miricale i get to go **dreams an impossible dream**

yeah, or maybe you could enter a competition on ITT to go down and watch it too. Good luck either way hunni

oooo i'd never thought of that, hmmm... **ponders the amazing possibilties**

I don't think this is a debate over the 'fairness' of ticket allocation. No-one deserves to go more than anyone else. It's more to do with the fact that they seemed to have only one operator, people were getting cut off, and we were all sat here half the day on redial. I'd rather get through at 9am and be told they've all gone, than sit there hitting redial until mid-afternoon.


I doubt it. That causes HUGE issues if they can't make it for whatever reason (breaking down on the motorway, for example), and becuase it is a live show you can't replace that volume of people at 5pm on a Saturday afternoon.

I would imagine that larger numbers of production guests are being invited, making the allocation for the public smaller. Let's face it, an audience of celebs is far more interesting to the public than the likes of us.
