There’s a special way you can get tickets for The Late Late Toy Show

It's worth a try.

The application process for The Late Late Toy Show closed yesterday. They received a staggering 125,000 applications for the show which will be broadcast on Friday, December 2nd. Tickets will be allocated through a lottery basis so chances of getting any are fairly slim. BUT, they've just announced a special way for you to get your hands on two tickets for the show. You have to download a special image from their website which is called the 'RyanElf' and start taking photos with it. It's an elf version of Ryan Tubridy, but I'm sure you already figured that out from the name. They're telling people to make the 'RyanElf' a part of a special occasion, bring him to your favourite spot in your hometown or maybe he could 'embellish' the perfect picture with a well-timed photobomb. To enter you must then post your creative shots, using #ToyShowSnap, on Instagram, Twitter or The Late Late Show/RTÉ One Facebook pages. Speaking about the competition Ryan said:

"Toy Show tickets are rarer than hen's teeth and this is a great opportunity for someone to get their hands on two of them. I'm encouraging everyone to be as fun and creative as possible with the RyanElf - I'm looking forward to seeing where he ends up!"

All the entries from the 'RyanElf' competiton will go into a draw and from there a winner will be picked.
