Yeah it will be expensive. But it's a risk everyone will have to take. I suppose everyone will be waiting to get a golden ticket from the paper. However it will be like BB7. About 20 people get the golden ticket. (They won't have to do as many trips like the auditionees) and then on a night they are all in the crowd.. but the BB producers will just pick the best one anyway. Personally the 20 should be put up online. And the public pick like 1, 2, or 3 of them to go in!!

You could get a callback.. where you will jump to the 2nd round and avoid a bit of queing. 3/4 hours of average queing infact.. just to get through the 1st round to the 2nd!
