It’s official. BTS are coming to British shores, and they’ll be on our screens on The Graham Norton Show.

The K-pop stars are due to play on Graham’s stage on Friday 12 October, and will be performing their song Idol.

Alongside them on the couch will be Whoopi Goldberg, Jamie Dornan, Rosamund Pike, and Harry Connick Jr., who we’re sure are all massive BTS fans.

You can, of course, watch on your TV when it airs, but if you want to actually be there in the audience, here’s what to do.


How to get tickets for The Graham Norton Show?

Demand for the audience is high (Picture: BBC)

Tickets for the show are available via a company called SRO Audiences and are completely free.



To be in with a chance you will have to apply via their website, giving your personal details and a choice of three potential show dates in order of preference.

The show is recorded on a Thursday night and currently applications are open until December.

You can apply for a maximum of four tickets – and all audience members for this one have to be aged 18 or over.

Will I definitely get tickets?

There is no guarantee you’ll get tickets if you apply, simply because the demand to be a part of the studio audience is so high – but if you don’t apply of course you’ll have no chance at all.

Tickets for the audience are selected randomly from the applicants, and once the audience is full remaining applicants will be kept on the waiting list for that week in case of returns.

This will then be listed on the website as ‘waiting list only’ so that applicants know tickets have been allocated for that date, and whether they have been successful or not.

If you don’t get lucky this time, then your details will be added to the company’s mailing list, so you may well be offered tickets for another show in the future.

What about applying for the Red Chair?

If you have a story that you think Graham and his guests would like to hear – or not, as the case may be – drop a line to viewers@sotelevision.co.uk with more information.

When is the show on TV?

The Graham Norton Show airs on Friday nights on BBC One at 10.35pm.

So, you can watch the Bangtan Boys from the comfort of your home if you don’t get tickets.
