TICKETS for this year's Late Late Toy Show are going to be hard to get a hold of as there have been a whopping 80,000 applications since the system launched on Monday, just as the Toy Show team began their nationwide talent search to find youngsters to take part in the show.

Host Ryan Tubridy was overwhelmed at the response:

"The response has been phenomenal - to have 80,000 applications in just two days is staggering. I only wish that everyone who applied could get one!"

Last year 140,000 people applied to be in the 204 person audience.

Applications for Toy Show tickets are processed separately to applications for tickets to the regular Late Late and each year the application process starts anew, so if you have applied for Toy Show tickets before or are already in the running for seats at the main show you still have to apply separately

Tickets are issued in a random lottery and those lucky enough to secure a seat will be notified closer to broadcast.

To those who have applied, cross your fingers and toes that you'll be amongst the lucky few to hear Tubs utter the words "There's one for everybody in the audience".
