RSS Feed for Audience Tickets

  • Martin Deutsch

The BBC regularly advertise free tickets for audiences to attend recordings of various TV and radio shows. These are currently advertised at http://www.bbc.co.uk/whatson/tickets/ - a page which I'm always forgetting to visit.

What's more, once word of a popular show gets around, tickets get snapped up quickly. Apparently some Little Britain tickets recently went in as little as 4 hours.

There are also seperate pages for the 3 BBC Nations (Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) listing other recordings. These are linked to from the main page in the What's On section.

The idea? A pretty simple one. RSS feeds of the above, listing each recording as a seperate item. The feed would then contain a link to more information about the show, and details of how to apply for tickets.

Hi Martin - I actually have a couple of people in my team assessing the way we currently publish the What's On Tickets page, and how best to get an RSS output from it.
