Yup. I went to Wolfy's eviction in 2013 and then the Fake eviction and legends entering the bunker this year. I did make threads about them both on the forum if you give a search. Enjoyed both times a huge deal and cannot wait to go again.

If you have guest list or priority you are guaranteed to get in as long as you get there before 18.45 , I got general tickets for the launch couple of weeks ago and arrived at 2.30 , we were front of the que for general and at 18.45 we joined the priority cue , they hand out 250 priority tickets and then about an extra 150 from the general que then join the priority people. I would say arrive no later than 3.30pm for guaranteed general tickets, arrive around 5pm if you have priority tickets and want to be close to the stage

I've been to two live evictions, both sadly in the C5 days. I wish I was old enough to go to some of the BB7 evictions!

The first one I went to was Zoe Birkett's eviction from Power Trip. We had guest list tickets which do guarantee entry providing that you're there by the time it says on the ticket. I can't remember what it was but I know we turned up with about five minutes to spare as we travelled from South Wales and didn't leave until the afternoon because of work. Whilst in the queue a producer asked us if we wanted to sit inside the eye to watch the eviction interview. The first thing I asked was if we still got to see the eviction, he told us we would but in fact you are taken in to the eye before it happens. We were left a little dissapointed but seeing the interview was just crazy! If you get selected for a seat, you stand right next to the opening of the eye as you're literally the first in the compound. The atmosphere is fantastic!

The second I went to was Chloe Goodman's eviction from Twisted Fairytale, also the night Pricey went in! We were up in the stalls, not far from the door to the house. This time we had priority tickets and again turned up around five minutes before the cut off time. I don't know if there's a difference between the guest list and priority tickets, but I'm sure we had to join the queue earlier when we had priority. It was absolutley freezing, I've never felt cold like it! The atmosphere wasn't quite there on this eviction but we were taken in a lot later so missed a lot of the build up!

I'd highly recommend it, it's so much fun! The set does look tiny in real life, I was stunned! The Ibis just up the road is really cheap too, I think we paid about £20 each on both occasions! Another thing, if you're easily embaressed do not go in fancy dress or draw attention to yourself as the guy who does the warm up will pick on you. He's hilarious but very harsh!

Innocent Zoe was a deserving finalist!

I have been to a few evictions. They're a lot of fun and Emma is so lovely! :love:

You all make me jealous, it sounds really great.
I live far away from the UK and as a lone fan of the show I'll really need to push myself to fly abroad and go there on my own.

Sounds like you had a great time both times! You were lucky to get into the interview, at least that meant you had a seat too instead of standing the entire time. No-one seems to ever have a handbag on them when you look at the audience, do they make you leave your stuff somewhere before going in, and can you take any sneaky pics on your phone or would they throw you out?!!

Thank you for the info, very helpful. It must have been a long day being there since 2.30-11pm. So if I have guest list tickets I'm safe enough showing up between 6-6.45 as it says before 7 on the ticket. Wanted to have a drink before the show, it's our night out! And we don't get many of those believe me!

aliacid 15-09-2015 07:19 AM

I really did, it's tiring and your feet hurt but you forget that once everything gets going. It's also surreal watching the show with the rest of the audience. You are allowed handbags but they're checked by security before you enter the compound. You're allowed umbrellas too. The two things I specifically remember being confiscated were drinks and perfume bottles. They won't keep anything for you either, they told my friend to hide her perfume bottle in the queue and then go back and look for it after it was all over. They'll only throw you out if you try and take photos after being told off. I checked my phone to see the time when I went to Power Trip and I was seen straight away. When we were in the stalls for celeb in January it was easier to get a sneaky pic. Just take some on the way out because you're not gonna miss anything then. [emoji16]

It goes very quickly actually , your just hyped up to get in and you meet funny people in the que and get chatting , if you arrive between 6-6.30 your guaranteed your entrance and you should most likely be stood on the ground at the side of the stage

they took chewing gum from me believe it or not! And your so right about the taking photos , they are on you like a hawk although they give you a first warning

Westy 15-09-2015 10:53 AM

Ok so no chewing gum, no perfume, no funny clothes (for fear of the entertainer making fun!), no sneaky pics, a (nice) jumper for the cold, comfy shoes, show up before 6.45pm.....and maybe a banner or a sign for our fav housemate!

OMG I am soooo excited now! Roll on Friday! Wahooooooo!

I will be the one in the crowd with the huge grin, beaming!!! Haha

LukeB 15-09-2015 11:28 AM

No, but I always wanted to

Just to note, nothing's guaranteed even if you're priority, be warned. I always go around 5ish, and the last 3 times I've been I have been around the circle stage.

I guess they figured you couldn't do much damage with a tic tac! A stilletoe on the other hand!....

Anyway, just wondering if you meet many of the same people when you go to the shows, seems lots of people on here have been to BB a few times each, if I was in the UK I would defo go more than once! But it's costing a bloody bomb to get there and accommodation etc., so this Friday will be my one and only show 😢

Really? When I asked Applause Store they told me both guest list and priority tickets guaranteed entry. I'd never risk it otherwise travelling all that way. Maybe check first then to be sure. [emoji3]

Westy 16-09-2015 10:09 AM

Dont think I would make it for 5, I will just have to chance it, it says you wont be guaranteed entry after 7pm, so as long as its before 7pm I think it should be fine. I got Guest List tickets because I am travelling a long distance, thats what I was told anyway.
It says online they are first in, guaranteed entrance tickets.

I laughed when I read on the Applause Store FAQ that "On certain occasions guests of the production company and/or celebrity friends or relatives who are appearing on the show will be supplied tickets/etickets with Priority Pass clearly stated. They are asked to go straight to the front of the audience queue to announce their arrival to the Applause Store Audience Manager and usually placed in a separate queue."

Somehow I dont think I will be queuing with the Celebs friends or relatives, isnt that the reason there is a back entrance!

I've seen priority turned away in the past, I'd always get there in plenty of time.
