@inq125 - I am on the hunt for at least one ticket for the Wednesday AM show only - need to check if anyone else in my group who has the Wednesday PM show already is up in Glasgow that early.

Child-friendly? - there are lots of breaks in recordings, but be warned - the recordings are very noisy. The noise levels are very edited for TV!

Going off the last two times, as a rule, Premium tickets are guaranteed entry until the time stated on the ticket. Beyond that, it's a bit of a free-for-all.

You are unlikely to get a chance to chat with any roboteers in Glasgow. If you happen to get lucky and they've been knocked out of the competition but are still sticking around until the final, they may be in the stands - I happened to get a chat with some of the Concussion guys, Wendy from Team Toon, and a couple of others last time but purely by the fact I happened to end up sat next to them.

Your best bet for having a chat with robot builders in person (that I know of) is going to be an Extreme Robots VIP ticket. The time you'll get to have a chat isn't long (and we've got robots to fix during the show as well), but it should be long enough to ask some targeted questions.

Otherwise - ask this very forum. We are all people who want to help new builders get into this slightly insane game of smashing stuff up.
