I was lucky enough to bag myself four priority tickets to the X-Factor live auditions at Wembley Arena on Monday. It was great to see it up close and personal; a real behind the scenes experience. The judges were exactly like they are on the television, and I must admit even myself and my guests ended up booing them when they made the wrong choices! I’m hoping too that we may have been lucky enough to see the next up and coming musical star.

It’s great to enter comps where you get the chance to see some stars, so I’ve found some brilliant prizes on that theme this week.

Magic have a fantastic VIP package on offer to see The National Youth Jazz Orchestra, including a three course dinner and extras! Submit your details and answer the following question; Tony Hadley was in which group? Answer – Spandau Ballet. Closing date 21 July at 23.59.

My Bliss is offering the chance to win tickets to Bluewater’s first Summer Live! Spectacular with one lucky winner getting the chance to meet Amelia Lily. Register and answer the following question; What’s the name of Amelia’s new album? Answer – Be a fighter. Closing date 24 July at 11pm.

Kiss FM UK have tickets to see Wiley up for grabs. Enter your details and answer the following question; What is Wiley’s newly released album called? Answer – The Ascent. Closing date 25 July.

There are some other brilliant ways of obtaining free tickets to see a whole host of stars. All of the main stream television channels have links on their websites where you can apply for tickets to see shows, or even apply to be on one yourself!

There are also other websites where you can register and receive updates for upcoming television shows. This is a fab way of seeing your favourite programs and also a variety of different showbiz stars! I’ve seen Robbie Williams, Lionel Richie, Olly Murs, Pixie Lott and quite a few others, all for nothing.

Check out the Applause Store to see how to book and apply for tickets to watch shows such as The X-Factor, Top Gear, Britain’s Got Talent and many more! They also have a High Street store in Manchester where you can just walk in and book (subject to availability), and six more coming to the UK soon.
