THE DEADLINE FOR the most sought-after tickets in Ireland is today.
Demand is always high for tickets for the Late Late Toy Show, which takes place on 28 November, but this year demand is up again.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland this morning, the show’s host Ryan Tubridy said that demand this year was far above last year, when 40,000 applied.
Tubridy says that from mid-October the only question he is asked by members of the public is about tickets.
To apply, go here and fill out the form, but note: multiple applications will get you disqualified.
However, with 100,000 people applying for 200 tickets, you have a 1 in 1,000 chance of getting you hands on a pair.
Here are some things that are as or more likely to happen.
You (or your partner) will have twins
Brooklyn Beckham will win a World Cup
An asteroid hits Earth – in 2182
Roy Keane joins the cast of Love/Hate

I’ve given up all hope of ever gettin’ a ticket! The last chance I had was an audition I did for the Billie Barrys but got turned down as they weren’t in the market for a 39 year old robot dancer….
Phone joe Duffy , your only man….
The only way BB will win a World Cup is if he’s somehow eligible for the USA.
Well that application form made me feel shite about myself….”what’s your party piece/special talent”…..my answer: my vast knowledge of all things Harry Potter related!
Nothing wrong with having an appreciation of HP.
Oh Dont worry Kate…I put on mine that I do a good Deirdre Barlow impression. Apparently im the only one who thinks its good!
I like that it’s socially acceptable for adults to be excited about a toy show =)
That I’ll be paying the water charge.

Onya Lou…how to link Irish Water to the Late Late Toy Show.
Well SB2014 I do hear that water pistols are going to be featured on the show. It’s the big thing this Christmas. €9.99 to buy and then €2 euro a fill of course. Red thumbers , chill out and have a drink.
I got me ticket for Fleetwood Mac so that’l do.
I’m also jealous of you.
I’m going to try…..I never win the lotto but I am expecting twins and I did find a dozen twin eggs in a carton too this year….maybe I will be lucky!
Easy to link Tv licence and water charges…..
have your say
