Gladiators #2

Thats just how TV show filming works. Tickets are free, so it's first come first serve. Was always the same for the Arena X Factor Auditions at the O2, and large TV shows over and Fountain Studios near Wembley.

Expect it to be a long, tiring and expensive (they won't allow much outside food and drink) day, long periods of time between games, pauses for reshoots of post game interviews etc etc
I fully understand that this is just the process and how it’s always been done. But there has to be a better way.

I didn't know, was just hoping to help you set expectations for you kid if they were sky high :)
Start charging them would be the only way to guarantee seeing recordings.
I guess when it's something popular they could charge, but then there is the expectation that you're paying to see a polished show, which it definitely isn't. When it's free it creates the demand they need to fill seats, and there is no come back if someone is upset they paid for it. You'd have to charge far more than a tenner pp to ensure it's filled up.

It'd be a cheek to charge, the audience is a tool to make the programme, a lot is asked of the audience (of any programme, not just gladiators). Sitting for a long time, long stretches of nothing happening, repetitions of the show for pick ups etc, being told when to laugh and cheer, not balls up continuity by swapping seats or buggering off halfway through. It's not "work" by any means and it's great to see a programme being made but it's not an audience in a traditional sense of going to see a show (which is for the entertainment of *that* audience, this for for the entertainment of the tv audience), always good fun though, I've done a few and never regretted it

I found it fascinating when I've been in audience. Panel shows are fun as there is so much more (and sometimes funnier!) recorded than actually airs, and pre-records of music artists for 'Live' shows is far more common than people think!

I admire Dynamite trying to make it as a musician, but you'd think she'd pay for singing lessons and/or a writer. These collabs with the other Gladiators is just *puts fingers in ears*
 
Diamond, Apolko, Legend and Athena are injured apparently
Just in the queue waiting for tickets to be given out.

Apollo isnt injured- he's played in gauntlet. Athens has bust her knee and Legend has his arm in a sling. We are getting a new game too this afternoon
Its a full on day but I'd reccomend it. Fury looks like shes a lot leaner this year. No sign of Giant.

I take it that no one who got to the finals or actually won wanted to join the tour? They didn’t even win their heats? It also means we will have to see her husbands gross tongue sticking out constantly 🙄
Im sure both Joe and Amanda the series winners have posted in their IG that they are doing the tour.

I keep checking to see if I can work out who is going on my tour date but I can’t (some of them have said which days they’re doing or the tour).
