Strictly 2025 Audience Ticket draw opens
The BBC has opened the ticket ballot for the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing
Fans of sparkle, sequins and sensational routines can rejoice — the ticket ballot for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing is officially open.
The much-loved series returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer, promising another season of glamour, drama and unforgettable performances to brighten up Saturday nights.
Hosted once again by the ever-stylish Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, the nation’s favourite dance competition will see celebrities swap the limelight for the dancefloor, under the watchful eyes of judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse. The live shows will be broadcast from Elstree Film and Television Studios, with the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom also set to host a special one-off edition.
Among the celebrities confirmed for this year’s glittering line-up are George Clarke, Dani Dyer, La Voix and Nitro off of Gladiators — each ready to take on the challenge of mastering the cha-cha, the foxtrot, and maybe even a daring Argentine tango.
How to Apply for Tickets for this year’s Strictly
As in previous years, entry is decided by random draw:
Applications are open now at bbc.co.uk/tickets and will close at 10pm on Tuesday 2 September.
You can request one pair of tickets per show and apply for as many dates as you wish.
If selected, you’ll receive tickets for one date only, and these are strictly non-transferable.
Names on tickets must match the applicant, and only successful applicants will gain entry.
Those who attended a Professional Dancers Pre-Record or the Launch Show may still apply for the main live shows.
Successful ticket holders are guaranteed entry on the night.
Christmas Special
Tickets for the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special will be allocated separately via their own random draw later in the year.
