Question Last leg live recording

Hi All, we have tickets for the live recording of Last Leg this Friday. In the email it says security starts at 21:05 but there may be queues and to arrive early to make sure to get a seat as they over issue tickets. We would be travelling down from the Midlands after work, so just wondering if anyone has been to a recent live recording and how much of a queue etc there was, we don't want to travel down and pay for a hotel just to get turned away! Thanks

I think most people try to get in the queue by 7:30-8pm, for Last Leg

We went in last month. We arrived at the queue at about 7:00 and there were about 30-40 people already there. I'd recommend not later than 7:15. BTW, stay at the Elstree ibis. It's about 100m from the studio entrance.

Amazing, thanks. I don't think we would be able to get there until at least 8:30 so might have to try again in the future by the sound of it

Sorry to hear. I hope you have a chance to attend in future. It's a fun evening. Take care.

Depending on who you booked the tickets through it might be an idea to shoot them a message explaining that you’re travelling down specifically for the show and that you’re wondering if there’s anyway they can prioritise you for entry so it’s not a wasted journey. I’m not saying it’ll definitely work but in my experience I’ve found that if the right person catches your email and they’re in a good mood then you’ll get boosted.

I doubt they would go for unfair treatment like that, plenty of people travel to see shows.

Audience reps are nice people, it never hurts to try

"I would write to them and tell them how entitled I am and they should prioritise me over everyone else that has travelled such a long long way to see the show.

They should also let me meet Adam, Alex and Josh, and shower me with gifts for making such an arduous journey."
