Allocation Information

1. Because we know how far people travel to see Strictly, tickets will be allocated a little earlier than for the majority of our shows to allow those who are successful in the random draw time to make travel and accommodation plans. Tickets will be sent to the email address that was provided at the point of application. We will continue to allocate any returned tickets right up to the week of the recording.
    
2. All successful ticket holders will be chosen at random.
    
3. Receipt of tickets means guaranteed admission on the day, providing you arrive at the time stated on your tickets.
    
4. If you are successful in the random draw you will receive a text message notifying you that tickets are being sent by email. Please check your spam folders and ensure that BBC Shows and Tours (bbcshowsandtours@shows.bbc.co.uk) is a safe email address in your email account. More information can be found on our BBC Shows FAQs.
    
5. If your ticket application is unsuccessful you will be notified by email. Unsuccessful emails are sent for each show date individually, so if you applied for more than one recording date you will receive separate emails for each date. Please ensure BBC Shows and Tours (bbcshowsandtours@shows.bbc.co.uk) is a safe address in your email account (whitelisted).
    
6. Additional information will be sent to successful ticket applicants ahead of the recording. Please ensure BBC Shows and Tours (bbcshowsandtours@shows.bbc.co.uk) is a safe address in your email account (whitelisted) to make sure you receive all our email communications. You can find guidance on our Information for ticket holders page.
    
7. If you are allocated tickets but are unable to attend for any reason, please cancel your tickets via the unique cancellation link on your ticket.
    
8. If you are successful in the random draw, the date you are allocated is strictly non-transferable.
    
9. Tickets cannot be transferred to another person. The named ticket holder must be in attendance on the day.
    
10. Should there be any cancellations, tickets will be redistributed by random draw to those on the waiting list, up to the day before the show.
     
11. Please see our BBC Shows FAQs for more information about our ticketing process.

2. Only requests for two tickets will be accepted.
    
3. Duplicate applications for the same date will be disregarded and if successful you will only receive tickets for one date.
