quick edit of s7 megathread

With tapings of Series 7 commencing this Thursday, we thought it would be good to have a megathread here to try limit spoilers and potential problems.

I'm attending the tapings, what should I know?
If you have a regular ticket (most people that went to Eventbrite will) then you need to get there early! Avalon suggests up to two hours before to help make sure you get in. Your ticket does not guarantee entry, as the tapings are oversubscribed to account for people who sign up and don't attend.

People have reported that if you mention you're celebrating something (e.g. a birthday) or traveled to the studio to a steward, then they will try to make sure you get in / get good seats.

If you don't make it in to that taping with a regular ticket, they will normally issue a priority ticket for a future taping (to be confirmed for this series tapings).

When you get there, there is a lot of waiting about. You'll be in an air conditioned marquee with a small tuck shop that you can buy water and sweets from.


Where are the tapings?

Pinewood Studios, Pinewood Road, SL0 0NH, Iver. (Google Maps link)

There should be ample parking.


I've been and want to share my experience, can I?

Absolutely, just please don't spoil the method and outcomes of challenges. It's not a serious sporting event; however, some mystique helps others to enjoy watching the show when broadcast.
