Get Top Gear tickets

Posted by The Mole at 11:43 am on Tuesday March 31, 2009

The telly audienceWith the new telly series on its way, we thought we’d set the record straight about audience tickets.

It’s the single most-asked question here at TopGear.com and the headline is – it is possible to get them. Honestly.

Technically it’s true that if we lined up all the people on the reserve list the wait would be years long, but the company that looks after ticket allocation is not operating a first-come-first-served policy.

And that basically means if your name’s on the list you’re in with a chance – no matter how long it’s been on there.

To register in this ticket lottery, you need to go to the Applause Store website and fill in a few details. They also explain the rules of entry a little better than we have here, so take a look at those too before you sign up.

Failing that, you’ve got us. Here at TopGear.com we give you the best behind-the-scenes access to your favourite telly show – from Clarkson, Hammond, May and The Stig. And a decent schedule to every broadcast on every channel on TV, plus a guide to each episode. Shameless plug, yes, but true.

Anyway, good luck with the tickets. If you do get on the show don’t forget to pitch in here on the post-programme Transmission blog and tell us everyone what it was like. If you don’t, well, it was worth a try.

    A lottery isn’t first come first served. First come first served means that someone joining the list today won’t get them till everyone before gets theirs.

    Let me get this off my chest before I explode.

    After reading this and a few other posts like it on Final Gear, (that site is what lead me here), I still find it incredibly difficult to understand how some many folks have been in the audiance several times.

    If the way that tickets are issued is fair, then how come some folks have been several time, yet others have to wait years.

    Granted, I appreciate that there is limited space in the studio, however, I do think that a better system of offering these very special tickets would be more in line with keeping things fair.

    Is it a case of not what you know, but who you know?

    Prove me wrong if you will please.

    I’ve been on the list for a few years now but that’s ok….I’m a patient lady, I can wait ‘cos I know it will be worth it when I get there.

    The only thing that does worry me is that by the time my name pings to the top of the list the only thing Jeremey, Richard and James will be racing around the track will be their zimmer frames!!

    read a few other comments and people they said it is NOT first come first served basis

    Also really upset because that means i may have been in with a chance of getting in sometime soon but i still have to wait another 4 years until they let me in the studios :( :(

    P.S i also agree with some other comments that no-one should be allowed in twice if some havent been in at all ..

    also with the ‘Supertedd’ comment of “The only thing that does worry me is that by the time my name pings to the top of the list the only thing Jeremey, Richard and James will be racing around the track will be their zimmer frames!!”

    I know several people who have been up to 8 times each and seem to get to go every series. They must be the luckiest people ever if it is a true lottery system – it’s more likely that they’re friends with the people at applause store.

    The only fair way is to have a true waiting list of course.

    But the good thing is that the guys know who these people are and don’t like it one bit…

    To the people who wonder how some people get to go more than once:
    I don’t know whether it’s still the case but it was case a couple of years back that the other businesses at the site that are not connected to TG were given tickets for their staff, presumably as a sort of compensation for the TG disruption. Therefore some of the staff got to go a number of times.
    A friend of a friend worked there and went a few times.
    Don’t know whether they still do it, our contact commented a while ago that they’d scaled back on the ticket allocations in the last series.

    I’ve been on the list pretty much since the new format of the show began and still no luck.

    I think the only way you’re really likely to get tickets is if you happen to know someone that works for the show or magazine, as there’ll almost certainly be a large number of tickets reserved for family, friends, clients and the like.

    A mate of mine, for instance, managed to get on the show a few years ago (he was actually ribbed by Clarkson on TV for looking like a car thief), because he knew one of the magazine writers through an owner’s club related to a car that they had as one of their Lifers at the time.

    Otherwise, I think you’re literally more likely to win the lottery than get tickets through the conventional route.

    I was on the waiting list for about 3 years and our metaphorical ship came in last July.
    We had the most amazing day; Jeremy, James and Richard were really great with anyone who wanted a picture, the banter was hilarious and the only downside was explaining to the 7-yr old why he wasn’t able to come with us. He stopped sulking just after Christmas…

    I have been on this “register” since day one and I’m still waiting for my chance to watch TG live. TBH a first come first serve basis would make more sense so people like me would have been on the show by now and all those who have jumped on the Top Gear bandwagon have to wait as the show becomes more popular.

    I’ve been on the waiting list for umm.. 5 years at least. I think part of it is that I live across the pond and hence probably excluded from the lottery. I think initially it used to be first come first serve (I remember applause store back then told me the waiting list was around 5,000). I still hope that I get that call. The moment I do, I am calling British Airways to catch my flight out of here.

    I have been on, what was advertised at the time, a 2 year waiting list…….for nearly 3.5 years. Figure that one out! And I did re-apply incase my name had mysteriously disappeared from the waiting list, and it said that the only list that was operating now is the ‘reserve list’ !!!!!

    I dont think people that have been once already should be allowed to go again, but to be foar, there would be no way of knowing if they’d been or not as there are loads of ways to get around the issue!!

    I’ve been twice its a long day standing and bloody cold in the winter.
    The first show was when Billy Piper was the start in the reasonably priced car but she couldn’t make the filming of the show so they had pre-recorded her interview.
    The second show was when Lawrence Dallagio was the star, recorded live in front of the audience.
    All in its a great afternoon with lots of interaction with the audience.
    Have to be honest though its an adult day out, the innuendo and language aint for the faint of heart and neither should it be!

    It is a really long day and you are stood up all day but it’s a great experience.

    As for the ticket selection method obviously i’m not going to complain as i’ve been really lucky but i can understand some of your frustration if you’ve been waiting for ever.

    I was in England but now in New Zealand so i’m saving up to come back just so that i can sit on the waiting list to get tickets to Top Gear.

    Just a question, i know there are probably other females on here but are there any in their teens??

    I went to Top gear Live on the 13th up in Auckland and i saw no other teenage girls(without their boyfriends) in the audience. Just a question

    I know of various people through online fan groups such as Hammond Heaven who have been many times each. At least one has become ‘friends’ with JC & Co. and goes to many recordings.

    I don’t think this is really fair, I’ve been on list over 4 years and not a whiff of a visit, think how galling it is knowing that they go to virtually every one!

    I have been on the waiting list for 31/2 years now. I do manage to get to MPH every year, which is terrific. Last year, after being on the list for 21/2 years, I phoned Applause store to ask them why I hadn’t received a call yet, or where I was on the list, etc. and pointed out that some people have attended the filmings and had been on the list for a much shorter time than myself. I was told by the lady at Applause store that they do not put people on the waiting list who are from overseas. She told me that if you have an overseas phone number, the “system automatically kicks it out” and I will never get a call. They reason that because I live overseas, I “just can’t jump on a plane and be there for the filming.” I thought that was a bit presumptuous of her to think that.
    I have given up any kind of hope of ever seeing a TG filming. At least I do manage to come over for MPH so I’ll have to satisfy my TG yearnings with that.

    Many contributors to this thread, using messaging speak, and not taking much effort to construct a proper post, should automatically be removed from the wait list in my opinion. This would thereby lessen the wait list for others up by at least 50%.

Been to all the MPH’s and had an amazing time, but would love to go & watch a “proper” TG day ….not to mention meet the chaps!! :o ) Try to stay hopeful, but get pangs of envy/rage that some people have been more than once!?!

    I put my name down during series 1. About a year later I logged into my Applause Store account and changed my contact details. Some time after that, I found that I’d been offered tickets via my old email address, and that I’d therefore missed out. When I contacted them to find out why they’d done this and whether I was still on the list, I received no reply. I do, however, still receive a regular barrage of emails – at the correct address – inviting me to watch crap ITV ‘family game shows’. F*** you, Applause Store.

    On the list for coming up to two and a half years. Also know people who have been several times. Don’t mind so much that it is a bit of a ‘lucky dip’ but do think that once somemone has been a couple of times Applause Store should let the rest of us have a chance.

    I’ve been on the waiting list for over 5 years now so a bit gutted to find out someone who signs up tomorrow might get priority over me. Not fair really. Just adds to the lack of transparency in ticket allocations. I bet the applause store staff just sort their mates out with tickets. Have a mete whose been and he says its who you know at the end of the day.

    Applause should be not be use by any BBC show they have been known to give out more tickets then places which should be illage.
    Even though the tickets are free people still have to book a day off work and pay traveling costs and to get there only to have the gates locked on you is not good way to treat your fans.

    After waiting on the list since the dawn of time, I finally got that magical call to go in February 2007. Series 9 programme 4, the Robin Reliant Shuttle one. After getting the call I was so shocked my legs nearly collapsed under me and my whole body started shaking violently! I silenced Jeremy for a bit by giving him some bird food (remember his confession to Jamie Oliver?) and he spent the rest of the recording break showing off my present to the other audience members!!

    Getting the call is an utterly wonderful, joyous moment and I hope those that have been waiting the longest get their call soon, enjoy the experience as much as I did and come out smiling! My friend and I came out drunk on our own adrenaline and couldn’t stop giggling!

    I have been on the waiting list for nearly 4 years now, and register every series for tickets but as yet have heard nowt. Tis true in the past if you got 20 mates to all register for tickets many times and then one of you was lucky, you had more chance of going more than once. Unfortunately they got wind of it and have banned some folks. App store at Bluewater used to hand out tickets to folks even if others had rung and been told there were none left. Over booking is not good, some travel hundreds of miles just to be told “sorry – can’t let you in!” by some beardy bloke. Not fair, not fair at all.

    I registered about 1/2 hr ago, I’m young, handsome, witty, clever, looking for adventure and excitment, please please please give me two tickets to the show so i can enjoy the fantastic and wonderful show that is -TG. p.s. I live in the UK and am over 18, and did i mention i would bring a lose attractive girl for your pleasure. So what about the tickets then, eh. Huh, Mmmmmmuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm. ppssssp i really love the show, (cus you have to say that, makes them feel better)

    I thought not, it wasn’t really worth the bother was it, come on be honest.

    Ive read quite a few post and most are asking for tickets, do you really think they are going to give them out via this, more to the point will they if your under 18. I’m thinking not. I guess im gonna have to watch it on TV, never mind.

    i’ve seen all of your shows (all of them), and in on of them you sad sir that nobody just pick up is car and just drive it with no where to go ,just purely because you like cars and loves to drive them… well sir jeremy i do that even if you dont belive that. and u wont belive either is the wreck i do that with, its a clio 1.9 (powered with diesel wich is your
    favorite fuel resource on earth :) kidding of corse…but the reason of a diesel engine and such a wreck is that the budget is very short :) …but i just drive with no were to go more than 3 nigths a week … i simply like to drive any type of car , but since i never got further and faster then a peugeot 206cc 1.6 petrol 110bhp i have to keep dreaming an watching your program… this is what i allways wanted to say to you sir. i hope this message get on your hands…and sir keep doing what you do best and keep enjoying the best job in the world…

    Aww. I’ve just read about 200 comments, and discovered that many wish for jezza and hammond to be mean to James.
    This has disturbed me, as top gear wouldn’t be the same without good ol’ captain slow.
    However, I contradict myself by saying that in the channel crossing, it was bloo@£ funny seeing jeremy laugh at James and Hammond whilst they sank!

    For starters Applause Store is a law to themselves, do not believe anything they tell you on the ‘phone, different people say different things, then there’s that egit Micheal, you know the one that went out with that one a be famous person afew months ago??
    The situation is there is a list you can go on either through Bluewater Centre where Applause Store have an outlet or through the web site, thats the only 2 ways. It is run in a way only known to Applause Store, even the great Stig could not fathom, For those living north of Watford good luck, as you sometimes get 2 days notice or less.Oh and yes, the gender ratio comes in too.What is all that about??? Come on BBC give your TG fans a better deal, get the ticketing out of Applause Store hands, you know it makes sence.

    I think you’d have a better chance bursting into Jeremy Clarkson’s house and beating him over the head with a dead rabbit until he’s forced to let you on the show than to wait two, three, maybe four years to get in the conventional way.

    a group of 12 of us all applied back then and again a couple of years ago. surely one of us would have been lucky by now?????????

    I think they wont take irish or any other foreigners for that matter.
    ive never heard anyone without an english accent in that studio. The audience members that speak are always brits.

    I think its fixed. Or that they just wouldn’t send the tickets to ireland cos it costs a little bit more.
    Bollox id say!

    What about these car manufacturers? You make a product, certainly charge TOO MUCH for it, the Mark 4 was the bees knees until the Mark 5 comes out, then a small hiccup in the USA (again a load of crap) AND they all go bleating to the government pleading for a handout!!! ANSWER: If you make something charge a reasonable price for it, Make enough to cover you costs/research/improvemen ts/recycling etc and we will all be happy. ( the shareholders will only bleat, SOD OFF, you took the gamble and lost, you should be able to afford the loss, you don’t complain when you win , DO YOU?

    Im sorry to inform you guys, but I think the ticket distributors are having a laugh at our expense. I was on the list for 4 years along with 20 of my work mates, none of us ever got a look in, so last year found some for sale on that auction site and I got a rapor up with the guy selling them, turns out he could get them for every show and often hands them out to his friends because hes been so many times he cant be bothered anymore, anyway, I took the plunge and bought a pair, (illeagal iknow, but this was a once in a lifetime opportunity!), and when I arrived in the studio car park awaiting further instruction, I started talking to other audience members, and guess what?, most lived within 25 miles of the studio, (we were the only northerners there and no-one could believe that anyone would travel 5 hours to get there and pay for a ticket), and more importantly, all were on there 4th or 5th visit.
    Top Gear is a fantastic show, and it really is amazing to see it put together just like you see it on sunday night!, But the distributors SEEM only to favour locals to fill the spaces and leave out the rest of us outside the M25.
    Sorry Top Gear, but that truly is my opinion.

    I Live in western canada, and i was emailed 4 tickets to a july 2009 filming just last week ! I was on the reserve list with the applause store for 1 year! I have no idea how, but from what i am hearing from the rest of you, this is very uncommon for a guy from Canada. Does anyone have a suggestion on how early to arrive at Dunsfold Park for the day of filming? it would suck big time if i flew 9 hrs, and rented a car just to be turned away at the gates. Another thing, anyone know how strict they are about the 50/50 male/female split to gain entrance? my brother and i will be going, but we may need 2 Females with us to gain entrance to the show.

    I’ve just got my tickets for early July. But of course now I’m back in Australia. Anyone want to sponsor my trip over? I’ll love you forever, oh and you can come with me to the show :)

    My wait was about 2 years.

    It’s frustrating i know as i too have been waiting for years, but there is another way, Top Gear Live, OK its not the recording of the show, but i went last year and it is a good show, a bit of a laugh and you also get to see the boys live aswell as gettinginto the motor show aswell.

    Hey, you want to attend the show, hauler at me:) I’m the STIG!
    But I don’t talk so you have to telepathically send me your request:) Actually, I do talk, but you would have to win a much trickier lottery to hear me speak:)
    And you must also be a hot chick. For me to get you into Top Gear that is. Just to be absolutely clear about this, to qualify as a hot chick you would need to pass my thermometer test. So come dressed for the occasion, a bikini would be nice, although if you don’t bring one ( lol ), you’ll still get a better chance. That is, if you don’t bring anything else either. Errr, for the thermometer test, because obviously you want to make it to the premises without being first arrested for indecent exposure.
    Oh, and by attend the show, I don’t promise anything. They keep me in the garage myself when they film because they’re JC is afraid he’ll get electrocuted if he looks into my helmet. And James May has this Bird Pet he keeps stuffed in his right pocket and he knows I have a craving for those things. So I’m not allowed to mingle with the audience. But I have a great view from the Garage and I get a lot of snacks ( I hope you like Green ‘Stuff’ ) and plenty of intoxicating liquids: there is Unleaded, Biofuel, and plain old regular diesel. Bring your own pitcher!

    G’day Top Gear,

    I must confess that I know absolutely nothing about cars (apart from how to start the engine and steer it around and about to get from one place to another)…but I am a Top Gear fan none-the-less. You don’t have to be a petrol-head to enjoy what I believe to be the funniest show on the tele. Well done Top Gear! I am looking forward to the Top Gear Live show in London in November (I am coming all the way over from Australia to see it!).

    Been on the waiting list since first show, got email month ago saying i am on reserve list, only booking i could get time off for was June 17(Yes i know thats next week!!).I love the show, my other half just loves Hamster even though if we do get tickets she’ll just stand there and drool,many years ago her friend saw him and asked if he could speak to my other half on the phone,the minute richard said hello she hung up and said i’m only in my dressing gown!! LOL(Her pal sent a picture of him via phone which sat on our mantlepiece for years.I do want to go on the show as friends says best day of their lives but I think its because of three reasons.1.I’m from Glasgow 2.I’m ginger and 3.I drive a crappy Ford Focus with baby on board sign, which i don’t see going on the cool wall!!

    I got to go last December, and I can honestly say it was brilliant! It was funny because I applied for tickets Monday morning after seeing the first show of series 12, then walking around Tesco’s that same day… Ring Ring!
    “Do you want to come down to Top Gear on Wednesday?”
    “Errrrrr… yea!!”

    So it is like a random draw, but if you just keep applying… you won’t get in.

    Anyway… I loved it, frorm start to finish. It was a very long day, but it was worth it as Richard signed my book for me :-D

    I’ve been on the list for about 3 years now and not got the call, but that’s OK, because a friend of mine did, and I actually got to Dunsfold on 24th June! It was an awesome experience, but I’m not here to gloat, but to maybe offer some hope to the overseas fans: my friend is Italian, and lives in Italy and doesn’t know anyone at AS or working on the show. So it can happen. Thanks to everyone for a brilliant day, and I hope lots of you here get ‘the call’ before too long.

    I have heard that they over subscribe the amount of tickets they issue, hoping that people don’t turn up. Can anyone confirm this?

    Just want to clarify to you guys on here, there is NO waiting list, as far as I understand, each year you have to reregister your name for the Reserve List each series. Years ago it was a waiting list, but if you read applause stores website it states that its impossible to have a list as it would be 20+ years long, so its like a lottery, you put your name in each time and see if you get drawn/picked. Hope this helps…

    I’ve been on the list 3 years, and got 4 tickets for the new series! Havent been yet (i go in 3 days!).
    The reason girls always seem to be with boyfriends, is because there’s a rule about an equal amount of men to women (i have 4 tickets, so 2 men, 2 women).
    I have no idea how it works, but im worried about being turned away. Does anyone have any experience of it? I dont have a provisional, passport or driving liscence. I have student ID, and birth certificate and proof of name change. I am 21…no lie. but how strict are they?
