Strictly Come Dancing

Random draw closed

Strictly Come Dancing is back!

The stunning series returns, bringing glamour and show stopping dancing back to Saturday nights on Â鶹Éç One and Â鶹Éç iPlayer.
 
Hosted by the glamorous Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, alongside judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse, the show will once again come live from Elstree Film and Television Studios, with a one-off special from Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

Ticket Allocation

As in previous years we are operating a random draw.

You can apply for tickets at any time until 10pm on Tuesday 2 September.

You can apply for a maximum of one pair of tickets per show.

Only apply if you intend to be the named ticket holder.

You can apply for as many dates as you wish but if you are successful in the random draw you will only receive tickets for one date.

If successful please note that tickets are non-transferable. They cannot be transferred to another date or a person who is not named on the ticket.

If you were successful in the random draw for tickets for one of the Professional Dancers Pre-Records or the pre-recorded Launch Show, you are still eligible to apply for the main series live shows.

Guaranteed Entry

Because we know how far people travel to come to see Strictly, anyone who is successful in the random draw will be guaranteed admission. You can read more on the Information for ticket holders page.

Please note that tickets are non-transferable. They cannot be transferred to another date or to a person who is not named on the ticket. If your application for tickets is successful, your tickets will be printed with the name of the person who applied. The name printed on your tickets must match the name on your approved photo ID otherwise you won’t be admitted. If you request two or more tickets because you are taking a guest along, all tickets will be printed with the name of the person who made the ticket application. Our tickets can only be used by the person named on the tickets, accompanied by any guest(s) they wish to bring along. Every additional guest aged 18 and above must also bring a form of photo ID from our approved list. Photo ID must be original and in date (copies and out of date ID won’t be accepted). If you cannot provide this proof you will be refused entry. Please note that all guests must be accompanied by the named ticket holder to ensure entry.

Please take a look at our FAQ to see what type of photo ID is acceptable.
