New Procedure for Ordering Gallery Tickets

Added: 29 September 2005

UPDATE: 4 March 2009.

A permanent security screen is being installed at the front of the gallery during the Summer Recess. This will mean that any tickets available in front of the security screen will be fewer in number and will be in the side galleries only.

Therefore, after the Summer Recess the arrangements for requesting gallery tickets will be as follows:

Applications for tickets behind the Security Screen.

The automatic allocation of tickets in the Public Gallery remains the same. 

Applications for extra seats behind the Security Screen should be made using the form ‘Request for Gallery Tickets’. Applications will be limited to two in the first instance and can now be made for all sitting days. Guests will be seated behind the security screen in either the Public or Special Gallery. These tickets can be collected from the Admission Order Office on the day of use.

Applications for tickets in front of the Security Screen.

To obtain these tickets Members must apply in person to the Admission Order Office and complete an application form stating that they know their guests personally. These forms are available from the Admission Order Office. Applications will not be accepted unless they are fully completed, signed and presented by the Member in person. Mr. Speaker regards the personal certification of such applications to be of the highest importance. These tickets can be collected on the day by the Member or by the visitors on production of photographic proof of identity.
