I remember the first recording I went to in Series 2 I got tickets on the night and there were only about 5 rows of people there. Granted that was a 'snow' week so transport had gone crazy but now they're issuing standby tickets for Newsjack recordings, even at BBC Radio Theatre (and I rarely seen them issue standby tickets there).
I got there at 6:15 (door opening time) and it was queued round the block. I was about number 140 in the queue already. And last week at Radio Theatre there were a lot of standby tickets too. The rule is come early, Newsjack is very popular these days!
Anyone know if this is reflected in higher listening figures / downloads?
Should also say it was worth it as I and two others I know had one-liners in last night show. That's the first thing of mine I've ever had recorded at RADA. Here's hoping to make it over the finishing line later today.
Well done, hope it makes the cut! I applied for tickets for 23rd Oct (I think), but not heard anything yet. If I do get some I'll get there really early!
