Here's how people in Kilkenny can get their hands on Toy Show tickets

The hunt for the most in-demand tickets in town has kicked off, with applications to be part of The Late Late Toy Show audience now open.

The Late Late Toy Show regional auditions came to a close earlier this week, and host Ryan Tubridy launched the application process for tickets today. Last year there were more than 140,000 applications to be in the audience for Ireland’s most popular television event.

“I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am for this year’s Toy Show," said Ryan Tubridy.

"I want to wish everyone the very best of luck, and who knows, I could be seeing you on the 30th of November for the most magical night of the year.”

This year’s Late Late Toy Show airs on RTÉ One on Friday, 30 November, and the theme continues to be a closely-guarded secret.

Applications are processed separately to the main Late Late so producers advice applicants to ensure they apply even if they have already applied for the regular show. So, even if you have applied for Toy Show tickets before or are already in the running for seats at the main show, to be in with a chance to get tickets to this year’s Toy Show, you must apply separately by clicking here.
