To elaborate, I looked on the BBC website, this is on ALL of their ticket applications so I assume it was on You Decide too:

 

Admission to these recordings are on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that as not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to make sure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people so please arrive promptly.

 

It's the same for every free TV show audience system. I attend The X Factor auditions every year and Applause Store has always made it clear that admission is first-come, first-served and that they do purposely overbook. Fans should have been aware of this and arrived earlier. It's not the BBC's fault.

3 hours early don’t you think that’s enough time or should I hire a tent next time and camp outside ?

That doesn't change the fact that the BBC did warn all ticket applicants about this. I'm sorry but you've got no ground to stand on with this.

That’s why I said earlier in thread that bbc should of done what they done previous shows and charges for tickets

Fair enough, but this is actually how most TV shows operate with a live audience. It's certainly the same for X Factor, BGT, Strictly, etc.

 

Also: please stop posting separate topics complaining about censoring your opinions. You're posting them in here, they didn't need a separate topic too. Nobody is censoring you, please don't throw your toys out of the pram.

The bbc comment saying cutting back then not charging for tickets and paying for previous singers I’m confused .

 

Last year attended with partner to last years eurovison you decide Paid for tickets and was great

I’ve been turned away from loads at MediaCityUK before. It’s not some giant conspiracy, as Joseph says it’s literally how TV audiences work.

 

If you want in then make sure you’re first in line, or have a priority ticket. I got turned back from a Cats Countdown filming, got a priority flag on my next ticket and used it for me and a mate to have a fun weekend in London going to see Adam Hills. You roll with the flow.

 

 

This entitled woe is me shite tho has got to stop. Like hundreds of millions of people watch Eurovision annually, it’s not just you hun. The world don’t revolve around you and what’s convenient for you. Get a grip

With the quality of that NF, I'd be thanking them for turning me away tbh

I would guess that hiring a studio at Media City was a lot cheaper than hiring the Brighton Dome. That left the BBC able to treat it like any other show filmed at Salford.

I preferred the cowboy version of the song that won, hey ho. Our chosen entry is not going to win Eurovision I think....

 

(Not a stretch prediction, I know :lol: )

 

My mate travelled to Manchester from London, got in, waited around a lot, stood through the prefilmed segments of the show, and stayed for the live sections, then hightailed back on saturday in time to meet our fanzine group at 3pm.

I was in the studio for it too. BBC did good with their limitations, Mel and Mans work well together. I think we can find ourselves 15th-18th in Tel Aviv, thanks to juries identifying he at least has a knock out vocal and hopefully will connect on the night.

 

The song is bloody rubbish though. Uninspired, pyro by-numbers fodder.

Any chance our revamp will involve changing the artist and song please? This is coming dead last I reckon. Embarrassing when compared to many of our European counterparts. Cue British fury that it only happened because of Brexit, yawn.
