Strictly Come Dancing

Random draw open

Strictly Come Dancing is back!

Hosted by our fabulous new presenters Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe, alongside judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse, the show will once again come live from Elstree Film and Television Studios, with a one-off special from Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

Ticket Allocation

As in previous years we are operating a random draw.

You can apply for tickets at any time until 10pm on Tuesday 1 September.

You can apply for a maximum of one pair of tickets per show.

Only apply if you intend to be the named ticket holder. The name on tickets cannot be changed after they are allocated.

You can apply for as many dates as you wish but if you are successful in the random draw you will only receive tickets for one date.

If successful please note that tickets are non-transferable. They cannot be transferred to another date or a person who is not named on the ticket.

If you were successful in the random draw for tickets for one of the Professional Dancers Pre-Records or the pre-recorded Launch Show, you are still eligible to apply for the main series live shows.

Guaranteed Entry

Because we know how far people travel to come to see Strictly, anyone who is successful in the random draw will be guaranteed admission. You can read more on the Information for ticket holders page.
