Because we know how far people travel to see Strictly, tickets are usually allocated a little earlier than normal to allow those who are successful in the random draws more time to make travel and accommodation plans.

The random draws for this year's Professional Dancers Pre-Records and Launch Show are now closed and tickets have been allocated. If you weren't successful you will have been notified by email - and you will have been added to the waiting list in case anyone is unable to attend and cancels their tickets.

We will continue to redistribute any cancelled tickets right up until a day or two before each show.

Please note that published times are subject to change. If you are successful in the random draw for tickets for any of this year's shows we'll be in touch with an exact arrival time 1-2 days before the recording, so please look out for email and SMS updates.
