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!

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?!!
