I really wanted to book tickets for the new series of Have I Got News for You – my mother loves the show so I wanted to take her to watch it being taped as a surprise. The tickets were released one day last week at 3pm. I had been told that they’re always snapped up quickly so I logged on and applied right at 3pm, but still I received an email a day or so later saying that tickets had run out. Arghh! I suppose it’ll be six months or so before they release tickets for the next series, so I’m a bit disappointed that I missed out.
