In order to avoid the dreaded 'canned laughter', TV companies regularly offer free tickets to popular TV shows. In return, you're expected to listen to direction, shout when asked to and generally be enthusiastic. You could also potentially have to sit around for long periods without breaks, and for more popular shows you may need to queue.

Below is a list of companies offering free TV show tickets. Some recordings have age restrictions, so be sure to check before requesting tickets if you plan to go with kids.

SRO Audiences – One of the largest free ticket providers. Expect to find tickets throughout the year for shows such as The Martin Lewis Money Show, The Voice, The Graham Norton Show, The Chase, Loose Women, The Last Leg, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Have I Got News For You, and Mock the Week, Taskmaster and NFL on 5.
Applause Store – Another biggie. Shows on its books include Britain's Got Talent, Big Brother, Michael McIntyre's Big Show, The Lycett Arms, and Gladiators.
Lost in TV – You can find tickets for shows such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and The Masked Singer. You can also apply to participate in shows via Lost in TV.
BBC Shows – The Beeb has a section on its website where you can apply for tickets. Shows include Breaking the News, The News Quiz, and The Kitchen Cabinet.

A lot of shows overbook, so make sure you arrive at least an hour early to ensure you get a seat. Often, if you are refused entry due to overbooking, organisers will try to arrange for you to get priority seating for another time. You'll need to make sure you bring photo ID with you on the day.

Always make sure you check out these free ticket show sites first – don't pay money for them on eBay or other ticket sites.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
